6lb 4oz caught fishing a Mattlures Hardgill off the edges of bluegill spawning beds.

J Francho reply :

6-8, 3/4 Outcast RT Jig in blue/black with a black Zoom Super Chunk trailer.

Just prespawn, 3rd pitch to a laydown.

fmoore reply :

Never got a weight on her. Caught flipping pads with a chigger craw in July.

little_stephen reply :

my biggest so far too....

sorry for the crappy picture quality. I shore fish. so i reeled this girl in..... standing on a half sunken log in a field of 5inch deep mud & silt muck..... got ahold of her, tossed my rod to solid ground. pulled out my phone and snapped a pitcure while nearly falling off my log.

Got her a few weeks after ice out. on a fliping jig with a big beaver bait trailer.

she was up shallow on a brutal day chasing bluegill & shinners i guess. found her holding tight next to a thick post in a series of support stakes up shallow.

my best attempt to measure her figgured about 18inches. she was fat & B-E-A-Utiful!

cold day.... only in the upper 40s. bluebird sky. cold front. windy! with chop so bad i almost got knocked off my log a few times. and the sun was just setting behind the tree line when she bit!

basser89 reply :

22inches, 6lbs 9oz (the one in my avatar) caught on a texas rigged BPS Triple Ripple lizard, prespawn.

MaineBassMan reply :

My father's biggest smallmouth for the season was this 5 pound even. He caught it in a tourneymant too and It took lunker for the day.

My biggest smallmouth was a pair that weighed 4 lbs 5 oz caught on the same day.

Actually I just remembered that I caught three that weigh 4 lbs 5 oz

My biggest largemouth was only 5lbs 2oz this season, weird fishing season. I actually caught two largies that weighed this much. They could of been twins. Caught a lot of nice 4 pounders though.

The other 5 lbs 2 oz largemouth

little_stephen reply :

Thats a nice october smallie!

I really need to go target the football smallies up on lake erie. Ive got no reason not to....the lakes 40mins away from my new place and Ive got the gear to do it now. just gotta find a charter.

Bass Junkie reply :

Approx. 5lbs, caught on the smallest Heddon Torpedo availible. No lie. Caught one right after the spawn that was around 41/2 lbs, but skinny as a rail. Prespawn or a month later she would've hit 6lbs......

nashua fisherman reply :

me and the wife. fish were caught before we had a scale.

Crestliner2008 reply :

I fish mainly for smallmouths as some of you know. Here are a couple of my better fish of this past season:

Rough calculations indicate about 125 - 130 smallies were CPR'd by me in 2009. Most between 2 1/2 - 4 3/4 pounds. I've yet to break the 5 pound mark however, but I know the reservoir I fish has given up several in the 6+ range.

And yes, I do dabble in largemouths occaisionally:

MALTESE FALCON reply :

These are my four best of '09:

1-6lb-4oz largemouth, caught on a Rattle Head Spinnerbait, on 5/4/09 at 11:55 A.M.

2-6lb-1oz smallmouth, caught on Rattlin Rapala (Red Craw), on 5/29/09 at 9:30 A.M.

3-6lb even smallmouth, caught on a Rattle Head Spinnerbait, on 8/25/09 at 8:20 A.M.

4-6lb-5oz smallmouth, caught on an XCalibur Xr50 (Pearl Melon), on 9/5/09 at 7:35 A.M.

My wife lost one at the boat, that had to be in the seven pound range. I keep lecturing to her about those wimpy hook sets.

zero limit reply :

The best for me was LM about 3&1/2 maybe 4#. for my 1st. back fishing after 9-10yrs.

Jepu reply :

Didnt weigh either fish, both were approximately 4.5-4.75lbs

riverfisher reply :

4.65 SMB

wagn reply :

Largest this years was 7lbs 1oz.

Largest last year was exactly 7lbs 1oz.

I sense a pattern here :-?

Shane J reply :

Hey, Wagn, you catch those two 7-1s at the same place? That's funny, though, I also caught a 7-1 this year (and a 7-0 at the same place). Heckuva bass, bro!

WOW I didn't know RI grew bass that big. Great fish!

MDbassinmike reply :

Didn't have a scale with me! > I will only say it was over 7lbs, because I have a 7 mounted and it was bigger than mine. Anybody want to guess what it weighed?

Caught on the Potomac, in the grass, on a frog.

The lake it came from has given up 4 fish over 9 lbs in the past five years.

seyone reply :

thats awesome, my biggest this year was just under 8 and I caught it down south. My biggest "weighed" fish this year from the Northeast was 5lb 8oz.

NasTMcfingas reply :

My largest todate is in my avatar pic and I didn't have a scale. I've landed 5lbers before but this one was alittle bigger I just wish I could of had a weight on her.

nope, 2 different lakes, during two different seasons, on 2 different baits. One midday, and the other was at midnight.

The only thing in common was the weight.

Seems like most everyone had a good year, there are alot of huge weights being put up

plural_of_fant reply :

Didnt have a scale. Want to say around 4-5. Maybe a bit bigger.. Caught late August on a Damed section of the schuylkill river. Caught this one, and then not 10 seconds later on the backside of the exact same bush, caught another one almost as big..

D4u2s0t reply :

Lots of great fish here!!! If you don't have a scale, please don't estimate weight, I see some solid 2 pounders magically becoming 4-5+ in this thread lol.

My best was a humbling hair below 5lbs... which really burned me up because my goal was to break 5 lbs in 09. In my neck of the woods, i'm screaming like ike at anything over 3.5 lol

well mine does, but that's only because i put a sticker over the readout that says 12lbs 7oz.

You'd be amazed at the number of fish I caught this year over 10lbs ;D

grimlin reply :

My largemouth bass for 2009 is a pitiful 1 pounder.I could absolutely not find them this year.My biggest to date is a close 5 Pounds even about 3 years ago.

My biggest smallmouth bass which was caught this year of 2009 is a tad over 4 pounds.

I'm looking to shatter those records in the next 2-3 years.

Twistertail reply :

I caught a complete haas out of a local retention pound i test my lures in (ever since the neighborhood said i couldn't test them in the neighborhood pool, i mean no one used it! ;D). Just did some practice flips into the thick weeds on the sie of the pond with a 7in power worm and BAM this 5 pound largemouth just nails it. I was screaming like ike and on the was back i got some "different" looks from some people

Don B reply :
