Super User ol'crickety Posted September 4 Super User Share Posted September 4 If you have a favorite bass that you didn't catch, please share it. Mine is @Catt's bass below. She has to be old, but she's not a ragged, unraveling old. She's at the peak of her powers, as evidenced by her big belly. I love bass with big bellies. If you have a favorite bass in mind, but can't find it, state the user and describe the particular bass as best you can. Then hopefully that angler can find the pic and post it: My second favorite bass is @king fisher's monster. He's standing on a shoreline. Hopefully he'll post it. I never tire of seeing her. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super User AlabamaSpothunter Posted September 4 Super User Share Posted September 4 No doubt about it, Dottie. Dottie was the fish that showed Bass anglers weren't dreaming big enough. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User A-Jay Posted September 4 Super User Share Posted September 4 Not a bass but just the same. Monster Lake Trout @Dwight Hottle landed up in Canada ~ Just a gorgeous giant. https://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/uploads/monthly_2020_12/large.649823601_1000582_01_001(1)laker.jpg.827ed4215e5d18f141e139e6f14756ca.jpg A-Jay 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're probably not surprised that I don't just weigh weight when it comes to appreciating bass. I like backstories. I like backgrounds. I like colossal fights. I like color and markings. I know I'm an outlier, that many reduce bass to a number. Of course, I appreciate weight too, but not only weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Catt Posted September 4 Super User Share Posted September 4 @ol'crickety Sometimes it is as simple as being in the right place at the right time. Aiden caught this bass under the dock we're standing on. In the background is a boat launch. Aiden asked if I could tie a jig on for him, so I did. He took the rod flipped the jig under the dock. I just started to shake my head when he set hook. He had seen the bass before asking for the jig & had been watching videos about flipping docks. He said, I saw a dock, a bass, & figured all I need is a jig! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a greeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen bass! @king fisher: Please post the pic of that DD where you're on the shoreline. I love that photo. I think this is the picture you are referring to. This bass wasn't as big as it looks like in the picture. It was long, over 26 inches, with a big head but had recently spawned. It was thin with a bloody tail. I was hoping it would put me over the 11 pound mark, but the scale doesn't lie, and it settled at 10 3/4 pounds. I need a new scale, the one I have has no imagination. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User Mobasser Posted September 5 Super User Share Posted September 5 I think my favourite bass that I didn't catch is Billy Westmorelands ten pound small mouth. I've only seen pictures. The fish is hanging on the wall at a restaurant in Tennessee. It's a beauty. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
