Super User A-Jay Posted February 16 Super User Share Posted February 16 Jason Conn got a 17.3 lb bass this week while 'guiding' two clients. Heck of a fish but the video looks like he may have snagged it in the side with an A-Rig. Don't hate the messenger. https://fb.watch/iJgZFd58yQ/ A-Jay 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thediscochef Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 He snagged it with an a rig. Still an accomplishment, I've had more hooks come out of snagged fish than I have from lipped ones. I know some places have rules about that but I would still lose my mind if I brought that in 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InfantryMP Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 I watched the video last night with no volume. Great catch for sure! I bet there will be a ton of "guides" out there now for someone to use to catch their PB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigassbass Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I've always believed snagging a fish especially in the spring when it's shallow and ready to spawn is unsportsmanlike like and I'm sticking to my story. This just proves he knows how to snatch a line. Duh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User Darth-Baiter Posted February 19 Super User Share Posted February 19 Didnt some pro fisherman get busted snagging them? he became pigeon-holed with it. now I occasionally watch a fishing video and if a fish is snagged (Say on a) with a jerk bait..they joke. "hey, you John Doe'd it!". (forget the name) however..that is a GIANT bass. even the eyeballs are huge! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his name is Mike Long, big bass legend for many. From what I understand, he was allegedly caught red handed snagging giant bass off their beds and then taking them to other lakes to claim a lake record or even using them in tournaments. There's plenty of info on the internet, videos with actual footage. Crazy what lengths some folks will go to for a short lived slice of fame!

AlabamaSpothunter Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I remember the first time we took my best friend's dad's 911 Targa for "speed trials", we'd take turns trying to get our new high speed, and we'd reach 150mph in the blink of an eye, however from 150 to 173 it was like waiting for eternity. Ivie is incredible, but it just puts in perspective how truly epic SoCal and the fish it produced were during its heyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
