I'd say a 9lb fish. Caught him or her right behind my house in a branch off the C-13 canal. Caught fast on heavy tackle as to not exhaust the fish and released to live on to fight again another day.

That is definitly a big fish.  Where is that canal?  And is there Peacocks in there as well?

Nice fish, I have to move to Florida.

Wish I could walk behind my house and fish for monsters like that.  Nice one!

GREAT BASS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Woo-Hoo!

Nice fish!

Just an FYI... anything over the 7-8 lb range are all female bass. Male bass do not get much bigger than 7 lbs. Females can be twice and big as males.

ALL trophy bass are females 10lbs or more.

Nice catch! I'd love to catch one of those these days! Congrats!

Canal is in a residential community in Coconut Creek known as Centura Parc. If you can not get into the community (I doubt you can unless you know somebody since it is gated) you can fish across the street in the big canal across from the community that basically goes into the tradewinds park canal. Don't know if anybody has ever fished over there but it's all connected to this canal I caught my lunker in. There are deffinitely lots of big fish in this canal. Ive caught a large snakehead, lots of peacock bass, and big bass.

That girl has some gut! WTG on the release. Sounds like you live next to a honey hole
