Took me 44 years to catch my first legit 25lb bag. Curious how long it took everybody else?

Somewhere in the late 80's or early 90's at a Redman event on Choke Canyon. It was my first time on the lake and I just KNEW I had it won. Had 5 almost identical fish that weighed in at 25lbs 14oz. Ha! I got beat by 10 pounds.

Falcon BC in May of 2012. 3 fish tourney and we weighed 26.55- 3rd place.  Was still an awesome day. We had been fishing tourneys pretty regular for a couple of years.

In a tourney or just fishing? I've done it several times fishing. Only once in a tournament...a long, loooooong, looooooooong time ago. Best five were at Falcon went nearly 38. I believe it was around 2010 or 2011. All in one 100 yard stretch of creek channel on jigs! What a blast!!

8 years ago on St. Clair... Had 11 smallies over 5lbs, 4 over 6lbs and one exactly 7lbs, tons of 4lbs and under... Beds as far as the eye could see... Then the wind picked up... Bites were so fast and furious we never took the time to figure out our best 5... Plus it was catch and immediate release since the bass were out of season... Dan

32 and 35 on Brady, mid 90’s. That was a Great Lake.
Several over 25 on Jacksonville, early 2000’s. Used to be really good
29 on Whitney, 2010 or so. I know you’re thinking no way.
32,35, 35, on a small (600 acre) East Texas city lake. Can’t t name it, there’s already too many boats out there.
All pleasure fishing. Most (95%) caught on jigs, some on buzz baits or Tx rigged senkos.
Back in the 80’s fished Eagle Mt. a lot, a good fish back then was a 5lber
Fished Ivie a good bit in the 90’s, never caught anything over 8. Good night fishing.
Biggest ever 11lbs out of Hubbard Creek.
