biggest mass largemouth bass and how you caught it

Featured Replies

my biggest is somewhere around 7 pounds, caught on a shaky head that i skipped under a dock... the fish wrapped itself against one of the metal legs of the dock and when it leaped out of the water it hit the bottom of the dock, a good 3 feet above the water... thought i was going to lose the fish of a lifetime i had 8 pound test on, but i ended up getting the fish

About a 4 pounder.  Caught today on the Charles with a watermelon green zoom trick worm.  Was fishing it weightless but clamped a small 1/16 oz weight 8" up for some casting distance right before the catch.    The spot looked like the perfect place for bass, partially submerged log with a stretch of lily pads on one side of it.  Fished that spot many times but never got anything (except a few lost worms and tubes on the branches).  Only about 4 feet from shore.

lol it bites every day? thats awesome. maybe some day it will turn into an 8 pounder, how did you catch the 7.9 pounder and where?

for me 9 or 10 pounds on a spinnerbait (possiblly more) but i had no scale and didn't want to kill the fish.  that thing pulled me down into a ton of hydrilla too.

7.2 pounds on this past sunday. I was fishing a club tournament down on the Cape. Weigh-in was at 1:00 P.M. It was about 12:30 and we wanted to hit one more spot so we ran across lake and got there with maybe 15 minutes to fish. There was several submerged boulders the size of volkswagën "bugs".  The wind was absurd. I threw a few jig and pigs at the rocks,  no bites. I switched to a carolina-rigged Zoom Magnum Lizard in Green Pumpkin. The whole rig landed on top of the boulder. I pulled it slowly off the rock,  the weight fell first and the lizard slowly "crawled" off the rock behind it and fluttered down underneath the bottom of the rock. I felt nothing but a little pressure,  a "mushy" bite and I set the hook HARD. At first I thought I had snagged the rock it felt so heavy then she budged and I saw the flash of her side and realized it was a PIG. I fought her as fast as I could and landed her. I thought she was closer to 8 pounds. Fish of a lifetime. Now,  here's the AWFUL and still very painful part...I did NOT win lunker bass for the day. I did NOT even get first place. Somebody weighed in a 7.8!!! I had an awesome bag and thought for sure I had the win. Five fish for 19.9lbs! The winner weighed in 5 fish for 21.7lbs!!! UGGHHH it was brutal. The third place weight was 10.2 pounds and fourth was 3.9 pounds...Most people had 1 fish and some had no fish. People opted to stay deep for a smallie bite and we fished shallow. It paid off.
