Those are Hawgs buddy! That 12 looks like she is barely 24"! What a bass!

9.4 on a crome castmaster spoon, 40 feet deep in winter.

9.56, eagle mountan last February on a kvd splash in bone. As far as I could cast she bit 2 pops in . quite a fight from that far away.

Cool stories and pics!

Last January 2nd on Sam Rayburn. We had been up there duck hunting for a few days and it was slow at best so on the last evening I decided to hook onto the bass boat and do some fishing. We fished for maybe an hour that evening and it was just one of those trips were everything lined up in our favor, had 2 limits in the boat for a fish fry and had already CPR 2 around 5 lbs when I caught my best to date, a 9.6. All the fish were caught on a rattletrap in 8ft of water

I don't bass fish any but do have an interesting catch, one day coming from work I found a rod combo on the road, the reel was junk, while feeding livestock I saw some fish hitting bugs in the pond, I got the rod I found, a spinning rod and put my ABU 5000 on it that was in the truck as it was all I had at the time, I also found an old Bomber with the rod so tired it on, in 1 hour or less of casting I caught 5 fish and quit as I had been up working all night, the 5 were 2-8's , 2-6's , 1-4 lb bass, I had no idea our pond had those in it. All released as I was too tired to clean them. Since then I could not count all we have caught out of the pond here.
The old white glitter bomber only had 1 hook and was all bent up.

Striper would be 27.3 lbs on Redfin 900 Rainbow trout color

My 12.44 came from Lake Aquilla on a t-rig Archie Lizard Watermelon Red . I hooked her 3 days in a roll before I got her out of the trees .March 19 1997

Aquilla has some huge horses....

Had two DD. 1990 lake fork Carolina rig using a French fry. The other was 1996 at big Sam on a Zara spook. Both just over 10

A day I will never forget!

Jake, Colorado or LLano? what time of year? If you don't mind spilling the beans on this one

Jig off the nest. Was with my dad was a great time.

Just started bass fishing this summer. Caught approx a 7 fishing at a smaller soil conservation lake in east Texas. Was in a Jon boat, and flipped a 5 inch zoom lizard t rigged into the brush. Maybe 4 feet of water. Slowly lifted it back towards me. At the time I only owned one rod: 6'6" bait caster from dicks for 30 bucks. And it was spooled with 8lb mono as I had just been in Colorado on a family trip and fished for trout. Anyways, Set the hook on the fish, she rolled to the surface and I see how big she is, I know I don't have a net, and my newbie self tries to boat flip her. The line snaps as she's mid air, and she flops right into the Jon boat. I'm cussing the whole time. I got both hands on her quick and then I was pumped. She was a 7 on an old rusty scale my grandpa had, but I'll always think she was probably bigger. Got hooked on fishing ever since.

My only double digit (actually 9.98 after she puked about 15 threadfin shad!) May 29, 2013 on Lake Fork fishing a 1/1/4 ounce football jig--howling wind--we would cast, let out line and drift over this hump.
Taken three nines, many eights, and dozens of sevens, mostly on Joe Pool or Fork.
