I went out early this morning to go fishing on my inflatable kayak, hit the water at 7am.  It was slightly chilly outside, and the water temp was about 65, I started off tossing a Calvitron Buzzbait in black/red for about 30mins, then switched to the white/orange/chartreuse for a little but with no luck.  I then switched to a jig with a Yamamoto double tail grub and started jigging the lilly pads with limited success, a dink less than a pound.  I then switched to a small white spinner and started casting towards the bank while paddling back to the boat landing area.  I tossed the spinner into a heavy laydown and BAM this baby hits my spinner hard and starts wrapping herself around the branches of the laydown and dragging me and my little inflatable around.  If I hadn't had some 25lb powerpro she would have snapped me off on the laydown, luckily the power pro actually cut through some of the small branches while I eased my way around the thicker parts.  When I landed her I smacked my self for not bringing my scale but she's definitely my new PB.

Anyone wanna take a guess at her size based on my pic? She only about an inch away from me so no perspective tricks.

Thanks for reading!

Amazing fish. Congrats!!!!

Very nice fish! I'd guess 6lbs.+ 8-)

Very nice fish.  I'd say 6 lbs something.

:othats a hog!

I'd say a little over 6, possibly 6 1/2. Nice fish by the way!

Man, nice bass!   ;D

I'll go with the concensus, 6 something...

8-)

Marvelous fish!! Gotta love the PPro.

Nice!  ;D

I will agree with everyone else, a little over 6 lbs.

maybe i should come down there to fish....

Nice job, cant beat that mean green power pro. Stuff has got in many fish that I usually wouldnt have got in the boat.

Not fat, but definitely got length to her.

I'd say 6 1/2lbs.

Fine BASS SS!!!  Way to stick with them and figure them out! 8-)

Dan

congrats on your new PB, well donee beautiful fish. and i would say its at least 6, 6and a half maybe

6.5 lbs... long skinny bass.

I think I'll hop on the wagon and go with 6.5 lbs. too.  She is loooong.

Nice Bass dude.  I would guess close to 7lbs.

wow this might be the first time in history I am the high guesser. I say 7

Awesome fish. Its definitley 6lbs maybe more.

Ahhh, I definitely need to bring that scale with me next time, with the wide range of weights ><

gotta remember!

Oh man I though you knew the weight and we were guessing to see who would be closer. *In that case since you didnt bring a scale you have to be conservative or you will be lying to yourself Now I say it weighs 5.5lbs

Beautiful fish IMO!! Congrats!!

I say assume the fish is 6lbs. What is your previous Personal best?

This same thing happened to me TWICE with two fish in the 5 - 6 1/2 lb range. Lucky me, I fished a tournament and pulled a 7lb 2oz to set things straight. Right after that, I got a scale and wont' leave home without it.

My previous is the fish in my avatar, which....I didn't have a scale for either =(  I posted about that one last year too, which was estimated to be about 4lbs
