10.1 sight fishin. Is this only sight fishing or does it count if I found her on a bed and returned to catch her but simply fished her bed without looking at her? I have caught more big fish by blind casting them an hour after finding them than I have sight fishing.

6.9 lbs , on a 3" minnow with double treble hooks . I could see her in the bed so i just dragged it across her nose about 6 times before she was mad enough to take it  . As much as i love bass tho i put her back to finish her job  .

My personal best bed/sight fish is a 11.2 but I have had customers catch plenty between 10-12.3 lbs off the beds.
We have had a few bigger ones also that got off. Dang the luck.

Man I get the shakes just imagining that. . .I just want to see what a 14lber looks like on a bed. . .I think I'd pass out if I came across on that size.
