Boat owner, front seat and friend snatched this girl on a weightless trickworm in Rodman Res Fl. yesterday in the cold and wind. While I caught two squeelers all day.

Hawg! ?

Please send our congrats to your buddy. Job well done!

Hawg Alert!

That's grown one ~

Big bass. Pretty, too. 
 

(not recommended to say in a bar if you’ve had one too many and start slurring your words!) 

Beautiful fish!

Looks like she may have been buried up a while.

I believe that’s a weigh in 

 

Nice bucketmouth, love weightless trick worm 

Nice.. congrats to your buddy

That's a chunk.  She's seen some things in her life.  Congrats to your buddy.

Cold front biggie.

"Cold", in a sunshirt and shorts ?, while I'm hoping it makes it above freezing one of my days off so my guides won't be icing the whole day.

Ha yep...weve got several feet of snow laying around and 15in ice on the local pond. My buddies went perch fishing yesterday because the wind chill " warmed up" to 25. Regardless that is a beauty!

Weigh in station for sure with the scale in the background.

Congratulation on the proper way to hold a bass by it’s Jaw?.

Can you clarify exactly what would be the wrong way?   I always heard that you make sure to hold the fish perfectly vertical, and if horizontal support the rear of the fish.   

 

Is there more to that, or is that the proper way?

Thumb inside the mouth bending the jaw open is the wrong way. Larger bass have thick jaws and holding the bass by the side of the jaw as in picture doesn’t stress the jaw. 

holding Horizontal you use the same jaw grip and lift and rotate the bass horizontal.

It's supposed to "warm up", to 25* for a high while I'm out there tomorrow, morning low is 19* with 15mph N winds, it'll feel like single digits ?
