How deep have you aight bass ? What is the deepest and on what.

The deepest I have caught bass was 44 ft on a blade bait on the day after thanksgiving.

12-14'  4lber on a carolina rig trick worm. felt like a friggin 8lber. haha

40+ football jig fishing a main channel. We've caught several between 2-4lbs on that area where the channel swings in on Gaston. Ive also used carolina rigs, heavy spoons, and drop shots in that 30-40' area and been productive.

If you mean how deep was the bait when I caught the fish? Probably about 25ft or so fishing a shakey head on a Kentucky Lake point.

 

If you mean the deepest the water was, then around 36 FOW on topwater.

Close to 40 feet but I wasn't fishing for bass.

Using a bottom bouncer with live night crawler.

38 Feet with a Jig, I popped it up pretty hard when I felt it hit the bottom.  Worked very well.  I have also caught some pretty deep on a spoon in 40+ fow but, I was pumping it back to the boat so I am not sure how deep my bait was when I was catching fish.

Most of the ponds/lakes I fish are generally shallow since I'm a bank fisherman. I would probably say deepest I caught a fish was maybe between 10 and 14 feet maybe

33 feet with a magnum Shakey head worm and Gama alien head.

I have caught spots in 80' of water and largies around 50'.

Sea Bass in 30 Fathom 

Right around 35' while ice fishing. 

uhhhh about 10 ft, you could say i dont fish deep water very much

55 feet on the St. Lawrence dragging a tube.

30FT on a t-rig off a point.

About 30 feet while ice fishing.  

i caught largemouth in 45 fow, and smallmouth in over 100.  The largemouth came off a rock ledge, an pig and jig where

the smallmouth came in a rock bottom, and on a hopkins spoon.

A spotted bass out of Table Rock that hit my spoon the moment I lifted it off the bottom in 82' of water. 

I don't fish deep enough...

38' dragging a Carolina Rig.

intresting topic...

 

do you have to take extra caution when pulling bass out of those depths? i mean, can something happen to them, similar to what happens to divers?? in fact i think thats why you have to fizz them, right?? so whats the proper way of pulling them, very slowly??

In my experience you need to take your time bringing them up. Ive seen eyes pop out and stomachs bulge out in their mouths. If you are putting them in the livewell they will need to be fizzed. If they go right back in they seem to go right back down and stay there.

Id say approximately 30 ft

35'. Thats the limit to which I will drag any fish up out of freshwater. I'm strictly a CPR fisherman. No need to put fish in jeopardy by chasing them deeper. Just too risky. Besides, I do alright within these depths.

just caught a 5lber in 35ft of water draggin a lv500. over a rock pile. felt like a mac truck when she hit.

About 85' Crow lake in Canada fishing for lake trout, caught a smallmouth bass.

Lake trout can easily come out of 150' of water without any air bladder affects, they have values to release the pressure change....bass don't.

It's common out west during the winter period to meter bass at 90' and a lot of anglers catch bass at that depth. My depth limit for bass is 40' due to pressure change creates severe stress to bass.

I've caught spotted bass between 60'-85' on texas rigs and dropshotting
