Biggest Bass?

[slim357]

My largest largemouth, well its hard to say ive caught a fair number a 5+lbs but I dont think ive ever got one over 8. The one i remeber as my biggest I think would be close to 7Lb little more little less (i caught it while fishing alone, no scale or camera). I was fishing a pond behind a golf course in mississippi, throwing a texas rigged 7inch blue worm (cant remeber the make). went back a few years later, had no luck what so ever in the pond where I hooked the biggest one but here are some pics from other ponds that were actually on the golf course(pics are like 10years old) One of these fish was weighted and was over 6, but im not sure which it is both are nice size tho. I dont think I caught a fish under 3lbs on the corse. My largest sm would be under a foot in length and under a pound in weight.

Here's my biggest largie. I've actually never weighed a bass, but I estimate this one in the 6-7lb range. Who knows. I really don't care. I just know it was a tough bite on a cold windy high pressure april day in NE PA. This was the only bass I caught that morning. It was sloooow. It was caught 6 or 8lb line and a fast light action rod on, you guessed it Shamoo, a slider on a 1/8oz spider head. I've also caught quite a few smallies in the 4lb range, but no digital pictures. I'll take 4lb smallies over 7lb largies any day.

Nice bass (everyone), but slim, what is that in the background of the 2nd picture? Is that a UFO, or am I just crazy?

Yep its a ufo, no its a floating fountain that makes the pond look nice.

I think they meant the thing above your head in the picture. To me it looks like you had the pic pinned up on a bulletin board and you had a thumb tack in it.

 

[Jim]

If you look at the first pic, the mark is also in the water at the bottom.

 

[SMDave]

It looks like a water stain to me :?:

 

[slim357]

And the winner is......... jkbirocz. it was at one time pinned up, all the marks are what was left by pushpins.

 

[FishinsMyLife]

Ah hah! I see it now. I wasn't trying to overshadow your fish with the UFO/push pin mark. Those are all nice bass. I can identify with fishing in golf course ponds, but I have to do it at night so no one freaks out about me fishing while there are golfers, even though I am so far away from the actual fairways and greens that it doesn't matter. They are where I have caught most of my fish over 6 pounds.
