I don't think I'd mind being stuck here!

My biggest two are 5.2 and 5.3, and both were caught on rat-l-traps in the hottest days of summer.

well, hate to be the guy that didn't measure it but i was too far from the house and didn't expect a single bite... very cold in shallow water on a crappy day with a good helping of overcast... caught on a watermelon seed green tube flipper jig in a mess of sticks... tell me what you think she weighed/measured...

My response was purely to get at two people and they know who they are...... :whistle:

4pds 14oz on a 3/8oz black and blue chatterbait with a black mr twister double tail grub as a trailer. Caught it out of a small pond in southern new jersey.

First post!

I just caught it today in South Florida on a Rapala Rattle Trap (fire tiger color) Didnt get to weigh it. What do you think?

In my hunt to break the state record of 12lbs 14ozs i'm up to 10lbs now being my biggest so far.  I caught her on a Rebel BIG Claw crawfish crankbait that dives to ten feet and also floats. I caught her two feet from shore just before dawn at 5am. I was shocked to see the size of this fish. I have only  fish this big in saltwater.  I was fishing by the moon phases . The moon charts i used said "good early"the so i went at about 3:30am and fished till first light. This was during the full moon cycle.  The guys at infisherman say to catch the bigger record breaking fish we have to fish during the fullmoon  phases. I was also fishing by  mauri charts too when it was in the outdoor life magazine. Up until then i have caught many 2lbers to 6lbers most of the time ie same spot. I fish this one spot all summer very heavily in the early hours of the am.  I fish everyday but i pay special attention to the moon phases too. At the early am its the only time i can fish alone there and its quiet.  Finding at night its too crowded. Plus i find the fish are bigger in the am too. I enjoy catching  any size bass the two to three pounders are the most fun.  The secret is to stay going everyday. bill

 

btw, To fish by the moon phases look at the charts and figure them to your time zone they may vary  for hours.

 

Just caught my PB today....6.2 lbs and 22", on an Eakins finesse jig w/4" Rage Grub. 

10 pounds, 50 years ago when I was about 10 years old, with live bait - blue gill on a treble hook.  Threw it under the dock where I knew that fish lived.  She'd broke me off before on the dock pilings so I knew to get her out of there quick. 

 

Since then, 7 pounds, drifting a little red/pink 2 or 3 inch plastic trout worm on an ultra light rig behind my row boat, not really fishing, just left the line pay out while I was moving from spot to spot, when I stopped to set up and reeled in - whammo!

4lbs flippin.
