1st 6 pounder in over 15 years!!!

[JIM SHINN]

This is my biggest 6 lbs bass in quite a long time. It took me over 15 years to catch another one this big. My personal best is 6 & 3/4 lbs caught in NJ on Game Creek. This is my personal best largemouth bass 6.2 lbs in Delaware weighed on a Berkely Digital Scale. It was showing row on her and released it immediately. Caught several bass over 5 lbs. over the years but it's been tough for me to break 6. My next goal is to get one over 7 lbs now. I was telling my fishing partner that day it's been a long time since I've caught one over 6 lbs and this day I did it.



Water temps: 49

Water: Stained

Air temp: 50

Winds: WNW winds 15 to 25 mph

Way to go Jim!! Beautiful Fish. There's a lot of small lakes over there in Delaware that have heavyweight bass swimming around so maybe that 7-LBer won't be long coming!

That thing looks like a football! I am with you on catching one that size. I caught a 5.77 two weeks ago which was my best in over 25 years!! Keep working on the 7, I know I am!

Man, that's a healthy lookin' fish. Congrats brutha. Mama has the biggest fish in the house, 8lbs, and trust me, I hear about it ALL the time.......ha ha ha. I've caught three fish weighing 6.5, just can't seem to break that barrier. It'll come some day! Congrats.

Jim - WOW!! I haven't had one over 6lbs yet - GREAT fish!!

 

[Tim King]

Great fish Jim! I was lucky enough last year to have a 7+ largemouth and a 6+ smallmouth in the same year. I will be hard pressed to repeat one let alone both again in the same year!

nice fish - good luck on the 7 pound barrier, its hard to break on public water in most parts of the country.
