i'm new to fishing specifically for bass so i am gonna go with 4.5lbs, one time i had a 4 -6 lb smallmouth in the boundry waters my dad guessed the weight but he broke the line.

I have caught some decent bass n my day but never one to really get going on.  I consider a fish needs to be at least 6lbs to gt excited and 8lbs for a leg kick.  I am going to Lake Fork as well and hope to get one at least 9lbs or better.

I would like to catch a good 7-8lbs spot right now my biggest is 5.8lbs and a nice largemouth aroud 7 or 8lbs.

My current "I know what I am doing" PB is 7lb 1 oz. When I was 11 I caught a 10lb bass out of a pond in Florida by accident. I hope to someday catch a 10lber here in NY.......the state record is 11 and change.
