Texas , Ray Hubbard 10.21 pounder. Body shapes are vastly different

Nice Hog!

My mind weighs fish smaller
than they are- thankfully.

It was on a fishing show that's big in GA. a few weeks ago. It's a 30 acre lake that they killed then loaded with brim, shad and gold fish then stocked with only Florida females. They didn't say how big the stockers were but got to believe they would have been 4 to 6 in. girls to be able to sex them with some confidence. Maybe bigger. they stocked it 4-5 years ago. It's open to the public and you're allowed to keep one fish over 24inches (from what I saw them shock anything over 24 in. will be in the 11-13lb. range or bigger). At one point they had maybe 10 fish in the box and smallest was over 6, every one was as deep as it was long.

The state puts a female in to replace any kept and some for normal lose to predation and illness. Those boys holding the fish look like the ones that where shocking and measuring during the show. Interesting idea and will be neat to see how long the place holds up. I've got a buddy in Kansas that wants to fish it and said he found it online by just googling "Panic Lake" The show was called Outdoors with O'Neill (O'neil Willams is an oldtime GA sportsman).

Good grief!! What a tank!

that fish is solid and full of eggs, i have caught several 10 plus bass and they all came early in year except one, it came late in april- still full of eggs- some bigs just spawn late!

lots of our texas big girls seem longer than those california and tennesee bass- who knows why?

What a chunk! Can't be more than 20-21". The fish in my sig pic was caught by my late friend Brennen Teel (bteel). It was barely over 10. He called it the "super monster bass". It too was a freak!

Take me bro!

The reason it looks bigger than five to me is because of the size of it's mouth, jaws and gills. I caught this one last week and it hit five on the nose on my scales. I just weighed a two pound dumbbell my wife has laying around the house and the scale said two pounds on the nose (not scientific, by any means, but I feel it let's me know my scale isn't off by too much).

Here's my fish, for comparison, because I don't think it looks anything like FK's "five pounder"" I'm not calling him out, it's just confusing. Goes to show that pictures are deceiving (or he is pulling our legs and his fish was much bigger. Heck, I don't know.).
