WRB, you took my comment too literally. I was simply trying to convey the fact that going from an 18 lb'er, to a 19 lb'er, the numbers drop off ridiculously fast. "96 places" was just a number I pulled off of the top of my head. The "list" was also fictitious.

Same thing goes with numbers of big fish living in any particular lake. A lot of guys mistakenly believe, that if a lake holds 500, 9 lb'ers, it must hold at least 200, 10 lb'ers, and maybe 50 over 12.... Beep. Wrong answer. Of course the variables are endless, but more often than not, a lake with 500, 9 lb'ers, might have 30, over 10 lbs, 3 over 12... and maybe one 13 lb'er.

So my whole point, was just to try to show that as fish near "max size" , their numbers drop on a "very steep" curve.

PS, Who Dat, well, kind of. That's a little too much crop, but that's the right idea. Also, if the original shot is used for cropping, "then" downsized for the net, the photo quality would be WAAY better.

Yea, awesome colors and a very healthy and good looking bass all the way around!

30" long with a 28" girth. He released her back where he caught her after the weigh-in... I might have to go out there to try to break that new record!

That's humungus!

Absolutely beautiful fish!!!

What an amazing fish! I just echoing what's been said, but the colors and condition of that fish look extraordinary. What a story!

Kyle is one of my best friends, I called him around weigh in time and asked him how he did( he fished by himself and had to lip her ). He told me he thought this fish was about 12 or 13 lbs the whole day. He has never seen a fish over 10lbs. He called me back right after they got a weight on her and sounded like he was going to have a heart attack haha. I couldnt believe my ears. Kyle is good guy and and a good fisherman. He deserved to catch a toad, but wow what a toad.

I'd take 100+ outings in a row getting skunked if you could promise me I'd catch that genitic miracle at some point in the next 5 years.
