Ok guys, what is you largest bass this year and what bait you caught it off of.

Well 4.5 lbs off a 4" YUM Crawbug(Red Shad Green Metal Flake) and missed one last Saturday about 7-8 lbs on a 3.25" YUM Crawbug(Louisiana Crawfish) she broke my rod, line and all. I cried :'(. then drank a COLD BEER and went home....REAU

5 3/4 lb Smallmouth caught 4/9/06 @ 1:30 p.m. Fish took a 2 1/2 in crooked creek tube watermelon/ black/copper flake off of large chunk rock. A beautiful smallie if I do say so myself! ( I figured Roadwarrior would appreciate this the most! ;D)

For smallmouth a 21.5" fish that earned me big bass honors at our first club tournament caught off a Gene Larew 4.5" Mega Ring Shad. Largemouth bass was a 4 pound fish caught off a 4.5" Gene Larew skirted ring tube.

7pounds 13oz. caught at lake istokpoga during a club tourney. the thing that sucked, is another member of my club caught an 8pound 5oz. fish the same day.

4Lb LM on a weightless senko wacky style.  

3lb spot on a white/shad spinner bait with double willows. April 30.

3.5lb LM on a weightless watermelon 4" slim senko. Mid april.

4.5lb Hybrid in the river on a white/chrome chatterbait. That sucker hit like a truck and pulled like a dozer. Best fight of the year so far. April 29

Keep in mind WV doesnt have a lot of big bass, our state record is only 12+lbs. Only, lol.

I'm not sure which is the pb of the year.

I know this one was 6 lb 1 oz (I finally got a digital scale that I can trust) taken on a Berkley Power Hawg on the fall (04/16/06)

I got this one on New Year's Day with a Firetiger Rattlin' Rapala on the fall, scale said 8, but I don't know if I want to trust that old scale too much

11.45 lbs (length 25.5; girth 18.5) caught on a black & white H&H spinnerbait.  I also caught one 8.68 lbs.

Don't know the size but its my personal best. Until this weekend of course. ;D

I hate to brag but.........take a look at my pb and weep boys.........

Best bass this year was SO FAR was 6.75 on a horny toad.  That was back in mid February.  Thats winter for most folks but in SE Florida it's when the bass spawn.

6.2lbs I caught off a joes beavit.  Hopefully I will catch my goal of 7.5 soon.

4 lbs on a Sizmic Toad.

6.5 lber--23"--on a Vertical Jig X on 1/28/06:

6.5 lber--23.5"--on a Chatterbait on 4/14/06:

 

Coincidentally, those were the first Bass for me on each of those baits.

6.5 on a quarter oz rattletrap.

A 7.5 pounder and a 5.5 pounder on a crankbait. And two 4.5 pounders and another 5.5 pounder on yum crawbug. Needless to say that this has been my best year so far! ;D

I hate to brag but.........take a look at my pb and weep boys.........

;D ;D ;D ........I caught one like that on a buzzbait last year and didnt even realize he was on it while reeling in.After I casted the buzzbait again (not knowing he was still on it) my partner says "Trying out a new trailer?" I had no clue what he was talking about.

5 lbs in April on a Cordell Super Spot 3/4 oz in Rayburn Red.

5 LBS so far this year. I caught it in early March on a black colorado blade spinnerbait burned just under the surface. I think that this bass may have been more than 5# because I weighed it on a $2 yard sale scale that measures the weight with a spring :-[

I think I am going to break the 5 # mark soon. I just started fishing a new lake yesterday and caught a 4 # and went there today and caught a 4.8 #. The swimbaits are paying off.

5lbs 2 oz, on a Zoom trick worm 5-7-06, pre spawn. Up north 5lbers are decent, so thats my goal each year to latch on to at least 1 5lber. Last year I caught 3. Whats weird about this year, I have only caught 1 fish between 4 and 5 lbs, but tons of 2 and 3 lbers. Last year I had a lot more 4+ lbers at this point in the season.

5lbs 12ozs (my PB) that was caught on a spinnerbait caught in early april.

22" LM in early May.  I don't have a scale so I don't know what it weighed.  I caught it on a watermelon Zoom Horny Toad.  It jumped completely out of the water as it hit the bait about 3ft. from the bank I was standing on.  It wasn't much of a fight as I only turned the reel handle a couple times before I lipped it.  

6-0 caught on May 2 on a Sizmic Toad. My goal was(is) to catch an 8+ this year. If I don't catch it here in the next couple weeks, I don't think it's going to happen.

I just got this a few weeks ago...  5lbs 8 ounces... hope there are more 5+ pounders to catch this year.... I would be beside myself to get a 6 pounder this year...
