Five lbs as well

over 5 is a big fish to me

over 8 is a hawg

I know answers are going to vary based on your location and whatnot but at what point do you consider a bass to be "big".

As soon as it gets away!!

that happen to me today. lol but seriously it did. though it wasnt big it might been the biggest in this pond im fishing but everything so far i had to throw back. so far their under a foot. but i found a spot on this pond that looks promising to have any of size it will have to be here. heres is an attachment of what i caught today on a three inch popper. and where ima hit next time i go back to see what lies underneath. i havent hit this spot yet its on the other side of pond notice it when i walked it. most of the pond is was fishing has mainly just a few vegetation like the other pic of the pond

Here in Ohio 5lbs is a BIG fish

Here in Ohio 5lbs is a BIG fish

In R.I. also  

considering the state record for a lm is under 11, i'll most likely not get too many double digits here lol. 11 would be a new state record.  sm is a lil over 7.  biggest sm i've caught was 2-3. biggest lm under 5.

5 to 6 is big anything over that is huge!

I would have to say that 9+ is BIG

i aggree anything over four is a big fish but where i live in nevada over 5 is a monster the bass dont grow to much aronund here i caught a six pounder over the fourth it was a huge bass for around here it was awesome

Florida Strain

2-4 lbs = average

5-9 lbs = good catch

10+ = BIG

Any bass that is bigger than my bait is big to me.

Regular Big                         Texas Big ;D

2lbs- nice fish                      6lbs- OK fish  

6lbs - big fish                       10lbs- lunker club

 

10lbs- BIG @$$ HAWG          13+ - Welcome to Texas

Just for the record I go by the regular scale LOL

I think the lake defines what a trophy is by its numbers.  

lake Travis in TX has a 14+ lake record, but yields very few DD's throughout the year.    An 8lber there is a true hawg for that lake.

Where as on lake Fork, an 8lber is an average slot fish.  

Depends on region and the lake.

ANYTHING UNDER 5LBS IS A "OK FISH"

5LBS IS CONSIDERED A "GOOD FISH"

6-8LBS IS CONSIDERED A "BIG FISH"

9+LBS IS CONSIDERED A "HAWG OR BIG KAHUNA"

THERE'S A BIRD SANCTUARY ABOUT 2 MILES FROM MY HOME, W/ A POND THAT REALLY SHOULD BE CONSIDER A MINI LAKE. (TAKES ABOUT 9 HOURS TO FLOAT TUBE THE WHOLE POND) IN THIS POND ITS A COMMON DAY THING TO LAND LARGEMOUTH THAT ARE 4-7+LBS. (DON'T GET ME WRONG THERE'S LITTLE GUYS IN THERE TO) NOT TO MANY PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THIS POND OR FISH IT AT THAT. THE BIGGEST ONE I HAVE SEEN THERE WAS LANDED BY A FRIEND OF MINE, TUBING NEXT TO ME. 10LBS 7OZS. USING A YAMAMOTO SENKO (WATERMELON) ON A TEXAS RIG. (TAKLE: SHIMANO "CURADO E," 7'6" SHIMANO CARBON POLE, 15LBS FLUOROCARBON) "HAWG," YEA I WOULD HAVE TO SAY SO.

GOOD LUCKS TO YOU ALL IN CATCHING THE "BIG KAHUNA."

Around here 2+ is avg. size, 3+ is above avg. and anything 5+ is a hawg!

5lbs  is a nice fish for me

8lbs and up is big to me

im still chasing that 10lber... i fell short this year with a 9.14 . but hey im still thrilled  

Anything 3lbs or over constitutes a big fish in my book.

without a scale i have know real ability to know how big my Biggest is or where i even start big

"10lb bass on the thumbs is a 2lber on the scale"

5lbs= Me very happy

5lbs & up = Big fish

2Lbs-4lbs = nice fish

1/2lb-1 = warm up

without a scale i have know real ability to know how big my Biggest is or where i even start big

"10lb bass on the thumbs is a 2lber on the scale"

some guy last night got a smallmouth that was less than a foot, I would say maybe 9-10 inches.  started saying "Wow, that's a 3 pounder, easy!"  i was like I don't understand lol.

I got one last night just under 5, and that was a "big" fish  8-)
