Your Biggest bass?

[Fishing4Soup]

Let's see what your biggest catch is.
Since i've only fished 3 ponds all next to eachother my catch wasnt that big.
I caught a 3 lber on a jointed rapala minnow. Whats your best catch?

8.324 lb. bass
july 6th 2005 at 5:15 a.m. Richmond reseviour with dennyK on a chartruse and white bladed spinnerbait.

3 lbs. ain't nothing to scoff at.

Biggest LM was 6 lbs. 4 oz.
Biggest SM was 4 lbs. 14 oz.
Only spot I caught was 1 lb. even.

No, it's not. That is a nice sized fish.

Biggest-right at 8 literally on the last cast in a tank not much bigger than your house on a bleeding shad spinnerbait with a big, single silver Colorado blade.

Have had a double digit on the line but it didn't get into the boat. I had bad dreams about that one .

6 and a half pounds. i hate when people complain(not saying you are)about only being able to fish in ponds.most private ponds that people have just to look nice are loaded with fish,big ones too if are able to fish them

Largemouth was 6-2, lake Hatchineha Florida. Smallmouth was right near 5 pounds last year, ********* creek. Wish I had gotten a pic or a good weighing of the smallie, but I was 3 miles up the creek and I wanted to get her back in the water. I've caught Spots up to 3, Shoalies to 1 1/2 and Redeyes getting close to a pound.

i actually really like pond fishing although fishing a lake sounds cool. I like how quiet they are and there a 3 different pond w/ different fishing conditions in every single one so no complaint with that!

[NCYankee]

I caught a 5lber on a gold/brown spinner last November and a 4lber last December on a ratltrap out of the same 25 acre lake in the same area. I started bass fishing last March. I plan to beat the 5lb mark this spring.

4.5 lber on a golf course. used a black and red jig w/ yum chunk trailor


o and whats a spoted bass?? i always thought those were the same as large mouth

[BassAddict]

8lbs even 25" long. Caught it in a pond on a Storm Chug Bug. I think it weighed a little more cause the scales were cheap and the fish was a toad but that's ok. I put him back!

wow 8 lb's in a pond. I think i have to get to the pond a little more now lol. Planning to fish it every day since i dont do a spring sport for school

Nope-it is a separate species.

[Fishing4Soup]

yah im not sure what a spotted bass is either. I only knew there were hybrid striped bass and large and smallmouth bass

[Christopherkeene9]

2 pounds!! I cant get out of this rut im in. Only caught two of them and havent been able to catch beans once the weather "cooled" down.

7.2lbs out of this pond that's in my picture. Caught on grape/firetail worm.

[Hef]

just to clarify, I was talking about the pond in the picture not the 3.5lber in the pic.

[basser087]

LM= 8lbs on a Lucky Craft Pointer jerkbait

SM= 6lbs on a tube jig

[Rebbasser]

The easiest way to tell a Spot is that the hinge of the mouth is even with the eye, the Largemouth has a mouth hinge that comes back behind the eye, and the smallie mouth hinge is ahead of the eye.
My largest bass was in a tournament on O.H.Ivie Reservoir in West texas in 2002. On Thursday I had a 5 fish limit of 17,49 lbs with the largest bass being 5.71 lbs, on Friday I had a 5 fish limit of 25.28 with the largest bass weighing 8.24 lbs. I won the tournament, but got beat out for big bass both days. (I wanted to take all the marbles!!!)

The way I tell if its a spot is the fin on top of the bass's back is one continous fin, on largemouth there is a section of back between the two fins.

[Dyas]

LM = 10lbs 2oz on a Bomber crankbait, 8lbs 4oz on a Zoom Finesse worm

Spotted = 2lbs on a Zoom Lizard

SM = 1/2lb on a cricket out of a gravel pond

Warmouth bass (Goggle Eye)= 1 1/2lbs on a Zoom u-tail worm

There is almost no smalllmouth where I live. You might catch one out of a pond where someone let one go in if you get lucky. you can catch an occasional Spot on the Alabama river.... So im stuck with LM....

[JB]

Thats a shame Dyas, a 2 pound smallmouth in a river feels like a 4 pound bass from a pond, the current really builds up their muscles lol

[Dyas]

I do plan on going up to NC again one year. No time soon though. Maybe I will get one when I go back. But im happy with what I got. I can still go to some deep channels and catch some nice 20-50lb cats to lol

[lovinfishin9]

im not sure but if i had to guess id say maybe around 4- 5 lbs, ive never weighed or measured my fish before but im gonna start this year, i used to jusr fish for the fum and not worry about weights.
