Cant remember who sent me this picture, but this thing is a fat beast,

 

My PB. I didn't get any measurements, but she went 6-5 and i doubt she measured much over 20"".

My bass here are afflicted with the short/fat genes. It makes for some great, yet deceiving pics.

 

 

the PB is my fattest to date for sure.  caught some longer ones than this one, but none fatter.  it was 20" long and right at 5.5lbs.

 

 

I have no idea what my fattest bass is, I've got some submissions though

I see what you did, now did you lube up those softballs or did you insert them dry

I guess for the one year I've been bass fishing so far, it would be this one.

 

Looks like you guys passed around the same fish.

 

There's a huge population of 5 pounders there.  By mid day, we were dink dropping them, lol.  They all look the same.

I'd still love to hit that place up some day. Too much for me though.

They eat swimbaits, and they aren't even picky about which ones, lol.

 

LOL, if they're eating that one I'd have to agree with you.

That a strip pit fish?

My PB was 21 inches long with a 19 inch girth.  Caught on a Rapala X-rap.  I really need to get a picture of that mount.  

The fattest one I have ever seen was the one caught by Edwin Evers on the first day at either Dardenelle or Chickamunga.  That bass had the same kind of beer belly you see on some guys, huge & perfectly symmetrical.

This one was my first "big" fish. Went 4 pounds and 12 ounces. It was really short though!

Forget the mount.  Just broke my PB today with this 23'' long 20'' girth beast

 

Here's a recent Fatty ~

 

She was a small tilapia over 10lbs ~

 

Didn't measure the girth but really should have.

Ha! Sure looks like it on a couple of them doesn't it? A few of them were actually big bluegill or shad, the big smallie towards the bottom had a crappie in it's throat that I still don't understand how it got it in it's mouth it was so big.

Bass are amazing creatures aren't they? True, bona fide predators. Ive seen video on YouTube of essentially a bass that had tried to eat another bass almost the same darn size. It even managed to get its head in its mouth, lol.

This fish was fat everywhere
