[Bryan McDonough]

Oh i never weighed my biggest bass, cuz i never catch them during the tournaments. In 2003 i caught 3 over 23". 1 was 23.75" On a slot lake(Fayette Co) i had to throw back. Estimated them around 7lbs each. Plus my partners 7.5 oz bass he caught on a tournament from my boat.

 

[Donald Fruge]

BMCD, that sounds like some Lake Fork slot fish....?



My biggest Largemouth was caught in a farm pond and of course I had no scale with me. I could put my whole fist in its mouth without touching anything! I estimate it to be at least 7.5 to 8 lbs. The guy fishing with me almost blew chunks when I released it. He wanted me to hang it on the wall. I couldn't rob a small pond of a beautiful fish like that.

Harpo- Nice spinnerbait!!!! Red River?

 

[Larry Harp]

BJ, That was the first Red River spinnerbait I ever bought. Also the first time I ever fished McGee Creek. I had heard all about this great lunker bass lake and all I was catching was dinks...but I was catching a lot of them. I had just put that trailer on to try to attract something larger.

Andy Z. Got it on a Rattle Trap in a small lake about 30 mi. SW of Howell,my fishing partner & I fish this lake (no name) a lot & get a lot of 4 to 5# fish but this one was one in a lifetime !!!

 

[William H. (Bill) Barham]

LOL @ Harpo Sounds like Roland Martin. "Son, that's a good 5, 6, 7, 8 pound bass"

Mine is 8lb. 4 oz. and that's a whopper for Maryland. I was so proud of that I had "8 lb. Club" stenciled on the boat I had at the time.



Bill

 

[Chad Dwyer2]

11.78 and it was in a tournament! California Delta, flippin a black and red brush hog on 50 lb. braid. It was the biggest fish of the year (1999). Also had a six in that same limit. Five fish over 26 lbs. on day one and I was in 9th place. The day one leader was legend, Don Payne. I think his 5 fish went about 34-36 lbs for day one.



How'z that for California Bass???

 

[Marke Cicero]

Hey NH Mike,



When did you catch that 6.8 in tonic pond? I grew up a mile from the ramp on Highland St. and spent almost every day of my youth fishing that pond both from shore and in my canoe.



I was very disapointed the last time I fished there because the the milfoil is so bad you can almost walk on the water.
