check out these three crazy ladies pull in this monster bass:

takes her almost 3 minutes to get the dang thing in! of course, her drag is set so light its no wonder : listen closely to the end...she says "thats 20lbs easy...maybe 25" lol i dont think so. i was just glad they released it in the end...looked like she was gonna keep it.

L_O_L I got a buddy I fish with often who tries to land bass just like that.Even if it is a 2lber his drag is screaming while hes winding on 15 lb braid for christ sake! Drives me up a fricken wall! Thanks for sharing...I am now sending this video to my buddy so he can see how ridiculous it is

haha! my dad is the same way...half the time his drag slips on the freaking hookset!

"Look how he twisted your line!"

Man, that's a GREAT video and a GREAT bass. I can hardly believe she actually landed that pig!

GREAT POST!

I can hardly believe she actually landed that pig!

i know! i was suprised too! specially with how light her drag was.

Nothing worse than 2 German women in a boat arguing about "weak line".  I kept thinking, "Shut up already!"   ;D

Then the woman with the camera kept trying to pose the bass.  

That was a nice 8 or 9 pounder anyway.  

WOW. Doesnt matter what it weighed. Its a GIANT! I was getting a little annoyed by the stupid drag but I still cant believe how big that fish was! Great post!

I'm guessing live shiners, or some other type of similar forage from wherever she is from

haha glad you all injoyed this!

i thought it was funny...some point in the video the cameragirl said something along the lines of "oh just grab the blinking fish" or something like that. but she said "blinking fish" i thought that was funny ;D

if you look closely you can see she was using a soft plastic worm of some kind.

Rather have my drag set loose and catch a big one than lose that big one I lost on Lake Gaston when I forgot to double check the drag on my baitcaster and one heck of a bass took off out of the grass with my favorite crankbait and popped the line.

Live and learn!

1st I thought that the fish would expire from a needless long fight, but that was nothing compared to how long they kept it out of the water while holding it and even fighting over it at times.  I was relieved when it finally was back in the water and swam away.

I believe they are in South Africa.  I think what you are hearing is Afrikaans .

i believe that wa posted a couple of months ago but man its still funny every time i see it

That is one hog, I can't wait until the day I catch one that big.

HAWG! that drag was quite annoying though lol. I thought they were gonna keep it at first cuz they had it out of the water for so long. Good thing they released it. Good vid and a GREAT fish.

That was one awsome bass

That fish would be close or over ten...it's as big as her thigh.

Anyone notice that the handle was on the right side of that spinning reel?  I wonder if that is normal in their part of the world.  You can bet they watch American bass fishing shows because they gave it a kiss before putting it back in the water.  I also wonder if the lady in the back of the boat was their guide since she lipped the bass and set  up the spinning outfit again after the fish was released.  

Had to watch it with the volume off. No doubt a BIG PIG tho. Waiting for the day I catch one like that...only been fishing for about 28 years now!  ;D

That proves women can catch monster bass too.Wasnt that 2 women

Nope, they are not in South Africa, there is a comment asking where it was, and the person that posted the video replied it was in Zimbabwe, and yes, they speak Afrikaans.I am Afrikaans too.

a buddy of mine had hooked a large (I dunno... maybe 15 lb) Carp at the local duck pond, on his micro-light, and 4 lb mono. so he starts running around the pond, chasing this Carp. As he's running, he constantly reeling. Problem is, he wasn't gaining any ground. After about 20 minutes, his line breaks, and instantly shoots up into this twisted bird nest.

Years later, I watched an old man fight a big catfish, while making the same mistake (reeling, but not gaining line, while his drag slipped) resulting in the same broken line, and birds nest of twisted mono.

Anyway, I've caught some big fish (100 lb'ers) on spinning gear, and either the fish is taking line, or I'm gaining it..... but never at the same time.

About that video; That should make anyone else feel like a pro ! :-) LOL

Peace,

Fish

I know you are distinguishing between Zimbabwe being one country, and South Africa being another.....

However, here in the US, a lot of people were taught growing up, about the "continant" of Africa, but not so much about individual coutries within it. I have to admit, when I hear about Africa, I think more often, about the whole continant as well.

Welcome aboard :-)

Peace,

Fish Chris

yeah that bugs me when people constantly reel in when it is futile. they need to tighten their drag, play the fish w/ the rod, or stop reeling that d**n handle!

im not sure if that was a guide or not. the way i understood it from the little description to the left was that the grandmother caught the bass, the mother was behind her (the one that lipped the bass) and that the grand daughter was filming.

x2, and I posted the first comment about my buddy because this is a guy who brags when he catches more dinks than me but fights a fish like a 6yr old with with a donald duck zebco.But at least we have fun,thats important.I gave up on teaching him how to land a fish,to each his own. Lol he denied any knowledge of the point I was even tryng to make with the video I sent him  ;D
