10.2 pound MA bass 2024
buckmanjr reply :
As some of you guys have seen and heard, i caught a 10.2 thursday night on the 9" original MS slammer in rainbow color. I still can not beleave it...just incredible!!!!
Short story to the fish-
Headed out thursday in hopes of getting a 7+ to get a ticket to Matts swimbait raffle from Dave. I knew conditions would be a little tough, because of the spawn starting. Saw some beds with no fish on them, so that got my hopes up a bit. Started out with a white spinner bait, but soon switched to all topwater, while skipping a BICO under the docks where available. No fish on the 7" frog or big super spook, so i put on the 9" rainbow, it hopes to get hit by a bigger fish than with the 7". Fished off a point into a windless shore line just as it was getting dark. Some new pads were coming up in the area i was fishing. Got the perfect wake going for the slammer that i have hardly fished. About 15 feet from the boat I see a big fish suck it down. It wasn't a huge crashing hit, but she sucked it down like a big bass does. I knew right away it was a big fish. Im glad i had the extra heavy rod with 25 pound mono. Saw i had a pretty good hookset on her, so i let her tire out just a tiny bit (probably about 10 seconds ) Before i brought her to the boat and lipped her. I couldn't beleave my eyes! I knew for sure i got the 7+...and more! 10.2 pounds! Took the lengthxgirth because i knew i would get a replica done. Took some pictures and called my dad i was releasing the monster. Fished the rest of the night still shaking from that fish!

Just get a replica made. Then, when you sneeze, the fins won't fall off.

Buckmanjr is the ultimate sportsman; even though he caught probably one of the biggest bass to be photographed in a while from Massachusetts, he still went ahead and released it after taking the photos. 8-)

I agree with LBH on this one and I have been saying for a while the state record in RI will be broken soon!!! (Not by me probably...but!!!) More people fishing, better equipment and LURES!!!

Daniel My Brother reply :
That's VERY impressive. I'm guessing not too many bass fishermen around there are throwing 9 inch swimbaits!
Congrats again on a true hog!

Great fish
dantatro49 reply :
The only reason I asked if he released that fish is because that is an old fish it takes a long time for a fish to reach that size. If you get its proper measurements you can get a nice fiberglass replica made there is no reason to keep that fish. Thats why everyone should practice catch and release that is just what I think. Anyways congrats on catching the hog

No explanation needed, i agree completely. I was more than happy to see that fish swim away and kick hard out of my hands! I will be ordering the replica soon ;D

Paul Roberts reply :
That is a rare fish. And you targeted it. Congratulations. Very well done.
The eastern coastal waters (MA to NJ) seem to give up some bigger bass than more inland. Interesting.
