In.
I'd say that fish looks between 4-5 lbs. Hard to tell since it is inches from the camera

I caught this one on a Yellow Magic. I didn't have a scale and I was fishing alone. The sun had just started to rise so there was very little light. It was the first bass I've caught where I couldn't hold it with one hand without it slipping.

My biggest bass is about that. Caught it on a lizard in Bayou DeSiard up in Mecca when I was in high school like 30 years ago.

I have done much better with big trout.

smallmouth - ~6lbs on Pickwick lake on a flyrod. 1st mayfly hatch and the first were going nuts. Was my last cast before going in for breakfast.

largemouth. - not really sure probably 6-7. Caught a few there in that range. Good friend bought a place in MS with a lake on it. We caught 5 or 6 6+ fish out of it one afternoon. ALL ON TOP WATER. In the middle of the day.

I have had one that probably went 8 or 9 once but it threw the bait as I was reaching for it. I laid down and cried.

9-1 ,Big Ammo Lake at Tyndall AFB Feb 2,1986

Lost one at the boat during a club tourney on Clarks Hill Resevoir that would have pushed the lake record (12-14 lber)

Have caught roughly 25 over 7 lbs but that lost one at the boat at CH is the one that hurts the most, by far.

Not half the fisherman my old man is though.
Kinda doubt I'll ever bring a six fish bag weighing over 43 pounds to the scale in my lifetime.

8.42 on a white KVD sexy frog. Was a monstrous blow up about 15 feet from the boat, right after a 2 pounder had knocked it off some grass

I was fishing a fluke on Cypress Bayou in Benton a long time ago and wasn't catching much. I kept getting "shot gun hits", but nothing was there when I set the hook. Had to be perch nipping at it. I get a bump again and instead of setting the hook I slowly lift it to the surface to see if bream are following it. No shite, a 8+ pounder rolls up on her side at the surface. I reel down, set the hook and it slide right out of her mouth. I see the whole thing.

Had I set the hook on the first bump I'd have caught her, but instead I was dicking around. That's been 20 years ago and that fish still haunts me.

I think the lake record was only a 9 at the time. This one was close.

Caught a 29" hybrid stripper on a chicken liver a couple weeks ago. Didn't have a scale so just threw her back. I am guessing she was 7-8 pounds.

Oh, I forgot.

Actually the biggest one I ever caught was actually around 8lbs. We had just come in from a boat ride on the lake and I was lifting the boat out of the water on a boat lift with air tanks.

As the boat pops up I hear something flopping around on one of the tanks and look down. It was this massive LMB. Jumped down and grabbed it.

It was huge. Let her go after admiring for a few seconds.

About a 6 pounder.

Caught in the reservoir for the sulfur mine off South Pass.

Trolling a Rattletrap out of a 12 foot flat boat with a 5 hp motor that we dragged over the levee.

We caught about 50 bass that weekend trolling rattletraps.
