All you bass guys...... eat your heart out..... 16.03 lb by hand

16.03 lb bass by hand

Now that's pretty awesome!

Wow, I am to Walmart to get me a manicure, pair of rustler jeans and and ely shirt

wow

Definitely broke it's jaw and probably dead now...

Robby Rose's father?

Really? Lol

To quote Carl Spackler...."striking"

Seen that guy before a couple years ago doing the same thing with a bass that was probably 12 pounds then. Most likely the same bass. Still pretty danged impressive!

Very nice!!!

Should of used a gaff

Sure kept that fish out of the water for a pretty long time

That is cool.

You guys need to get something better to complain about, I seriously doubt this is on a public body of water. If this is on his own private lake then who cares how he treats the fish in his lake. He is obviously doing something right to have a fish of that size in there.

Fish fry?

That is Amazing!!
Beautiful Fish too.

Well, the sign behind him says Earls catch and release, by hand only.

Yep!

Pretty cool. That is a big bass

And I've been spending all this money on tackle!!

I hope when I am older that me and my buddies have nothing better to do than to see if we can catch 16 pound bass by hand! He looks as excited about catching that fish as I did when I was fourteen years old catching my first six pounder. God bless you all and our sport (no matter how you catch them)

I'm sure he feeds her by hand every morning but still, that was pretty cool.

That makes me wonder how many lunkers are hiding in private ponds and lakes!

A bunch!

Wonder how many people have called Earls catch & release Bass Pond after watching this video
