Super User gimruis Posted February 1 Super User Share Posted February 1 It’s been quite a long time since I caught a new personal best largemouth or smallmouth. 2005 for smallmouth and 2007 for a largemouth. Going on 18 years and 16 years, respectively. When was the last time you caught a new PB? Largies, smallies, and spots are all fair game here. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Global Moderator TnRiver46 Posted February 1 Global Moderator Share Posted February 1 Largemouth it’s been a long time. Smallmouth I’m always catching fish dangerously close to PB several times a year. Spots, I caught a nice 19” this summer that was definitely top 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Bird Posted February 1 Super User Share Posted February 1 Last year was my best year by a mile as far as big fish but still haven't topped my PB in Largemouth or Smallmouth. Can we go by yearly bag ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User BrianMDTX Posted February 1 Super User Share Posted February 1 2020. LMB. Between 6-7 lbs which beat my old PB by over 3 lbs. But I had been away from fishing for about 25 years, so that had a role in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew03cmc Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Both in 2022. Smallie went 18" from a creek I could easily cast across. No official weight on the top largemouth, not sure if it beat 5-06, but if not, I put the 5-06 on the bottom. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User A-Jay Posted February 1 Super User Share Posted February 1 PB Brown bass came on the morning of 12 Sept 2017 ~ Until I saw her, I thought for sure she was a pike. But nope - came in a 7.29 lbs. https://youtu.be/frJAlndpO7E My PB green bass came from south of the border on Lake Baccarac back on 11 Nov 2013 (Veterans Day) She weighed 11-11 hard to forget that one. Be lookin to put both of those great fish in the review mirror this up coming season. Fish Hard A-Jay 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User LrgmouthShad Posted February 1 Super User Share Posted February 1 December 2020 for LMB and haven’t really kept track of smallmouth good. Nothing big enough where I’d want to keep track and haven’t caught a whole lot of em. Yeah sure I’ll post some PB photos again 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlabamaSpothunter Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 If I like a single post in this thread, I'll burn all my likes lol, just know I like every picture posted of a big fish thus far and going forward! Love me some big Bass pics, you can see the pride and joy such magnificent fish elicit from otherwise stoic adults 😎 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User A-Jay Posted February 1 Super User Share Posted February 1 And just because it so unusual, on 30 Apr 2019, I landed this brute of a Musky on 10 lb FC while throwing jerkbaits for brown bass. Fight seemed to take forever and I had to us every trick in the book to be able to get my hands on this magnificent Beast. Even had to make up a few. It all worked out in the end as I was able to hold & safely release this 48 inch stunner. A-Jay 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User gimruis Posted February 1 Author Super User Share Posted February 1 Well it’s obvious already here that my 18 year PB is clearly the longest individual drought out there. @WRB may have a lengthy period of time but it would be virtually impossible to break those PBs he has.

ol'crickety Posted February 1 Share Posted February 1 Every summer that I fish, I catch smallies and largies that run from 19" to 21.5". I don't weigh them and I don't catch any bigger, so one of those 19-21.5-inchers was the heaviest, but I don't which two. What I'm saying is that I might have caught my biggest bass 30 years ago and I might have caught my biggest smallmouth or largemouth in 2022. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
