10lb bass (25 inches) my dad caught, on a 3/8 chartreuse spinner bait, ultra light spinning tackle (don't quote me on that, it was about a year and a half ago), with 30lb braid.

BTW if it looks really skinny it's be because it was right after spawn.

nice fish.

did he get it mounted or something?

30lb braid? ultralight?  :

He answered your question then deleted it.

30lb braid? ultralight? :

x2

I need to put my waders on...

Hmmmm nice fish, but why 30lb braid on an UL.

30lb braid? ultralight? :

I'd have to agree too. On top of it, thats a really heavy lure for fishing ultralight spinning.

Imagine trying to reel a 3/8 oz spinnerbait in on an ultra lite rod. And with 30lb braid on top of it!!  Then setting the hook on a 10lb bass and actually generating enough power to sink the hook.  

Some things just make you go hmmm......

hmmmmmmmm indeed

I thought the Snapper G posts were done with! :-?

either your dad is 3 feet tall or thats a 10 foot ultra light :-?

Nice fish! When was this?

IF THIS IS TRUE, that is a very nice fish.

Nothing like a 10 lber to get your blood pumping...congratulations

Looking at the indentations made by his fingers and the cupping of the belly made by the palm of his other hand, I would say that it isn't a mount.  Does look rather rigid though.  Aside from anything else, that's a really nice fish you have there.  Great catch!

I don't think anyone was saying it looked like a mount, I think the question about the mount was posed to answer why he was standing in a driveway with the fish as opposed to releasing it, but that's a whole other can of worms that has been discussed and argued in the past.

yup

Is that the rod he used infront of him? If so I doubt its an ultralight rod. 30LB braid and lure that size would not work well with an ultralight rod anyway. Anyway its a nice fish. I did not think it looked 10 LBS at first then I looked at how the pic was taken and saw hes not holding it out that much. Your dad also seems like a bigger guy too so it probably is a 10 or very very close.

I do not blame him for keeping that fish or getting it mounted. Me personally I would release any fish thats not at least a state record but I do not blame a person for keeping a fish every so often. Its a 10 LB bass and probably his first one. A lot of people would get a mount of that... good job to your dad.

Gotcha!  Have a hard time staying on my toes with this one.

i dont care who caught it or what kinda gear they were using, its a nice fish regardless!

and im pretty sure this is a scanned photo (looks that way) and that "rod" infront of him is actually just a crease in the photo. i say this because there are no "guides" on the "rod". also, it looks like there is another crease to the left of the one in the middle.

anyway, its a nice fish, no need to get all caught up on how it was caught.

Thank you! And your totally right about that "rod" is just a crease in the scan.

nice fish.

did he get it mounted or something?

no but his birth day is in 2 days or so and I'm gonna get him a mount of it.

If he didnt get it mounted what did he keep it for. Please tell me yall at least ate it?
