Caught him on a plastic worm around 11am on the 4th of July. I was just about to give up because of all the wake boats out on the water. Good thing I didn’t!

Beautiful fish!

Weight?

Thanks! Only 6.7 I thought he was a dbl. digit but he was just big bodied.

Great Job

You may want to check those scales. That's a Toad!!!. Congrats!

Very nice Bandon. Congrats. on a beautiful fish. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome, that fish has a gigantic head. Was that fish out deep?

Yeah he dose the mouth on him was huuuggge. Naw he was shallow casted right on the bank in some sandy/ rock boulder areas and hooked probably in 3ish feet of water.

Beautiful fish! Congrats on the PB.

Daang! He'll eat good.

Jk

Weigh on different scales, appears much bigger than that!

Yeah I wish I could go back and weigh it again. Maybe it was in kilograms... I hope not.. If it was it would of been 14.7lbs which means the lake record is swimming around healthy.

Damn! I’d totally believe that’s a 14+ lbs fish! Awesome!!

That fish is heavier than 6.7 man. I caught a 6.2 earlier this year that looks like that fish’s younger brother.

Wow! Nice fish. Definitely check your scales. Looks bigger than that unless she was skinny as a rail or your only 4 ft tall.

Well, it's not 14 lol. Holding it out in front pretty far but does look 8ish. Always good to have 2 scales I suppose. I have an old spring loaded one just in case my batteries dead on the digital. That spring loaded one is 50 years old and is pretty accurate.

Yeah I honestly thought I caught the lake record. Which is only 11.65. I asked around at a boat ramp if anyone had a scale and no one did so I called and met one of the local guides who had a certified scale. He said he recently had it recertified maybe it was on kg I never got close enough to look. Ohhh god why lol oh well and no I’m not 4ft haha I’m 5’10 180 lbs

its a 6 pounder, you were holding it way out.

Just asked the guide, he did see it was on lbs and even checked his scale when he got home.

which guide?

Chad with catfish edge

No way that’s 6-7. Way more.

Nice fish, no matter the weight!

Congrats!

You little eyed that one for sure

Nice

You should be a professional bass photographee
If you can make a 7lber look 12lbs, you’d make a 11lber look 17lbs

Lol thanks I only took like 6 pics and they were from all random people that I met. he was just a big fish. But if anyone needs some talent I could always use some extra cash on the weekends. I’ve been wanting to get a Garmin force trolling motor. Haha

Agree, awesome catch no matter the weight.

Nice Fish!!! The scale was probably spot on. The Lens on some of these camera phones can really mess with the perspective. It really is a beautiful specimen!!! Congrats on a PB; I'm sure you'll bust it soon!

Nice fish. Congratulations on the PB!

Awesome fish. Congratulations. If your index finger from knuckle to tip is 4" and use as scale on the vertical picture. I get that fish at about 22" - 23" putting it at about 6.5 or so on a healthy post spawn.

Nice catch, Brandon...

Great fish! Glad you were able to fight off the boat traffic for a few more casts.

Nice fish buddy

Beautiful fish! Congratulations!

Great Fish !!!

Congrats on the PB, Great looking fish and that's July 4th you will always remember !

Pretty fish!!!

Yeah, that seems a tad under the weight I thought it would be. Easy 8+...good thing I have a scale in the boat to keep me honest. AHAHHAHAHA

Congrats!!! BIG fish for sure!

NICE fish

You must have some really long arms.....or a be really small fella! That fish looks a lot bigger than 6lbs7oz! Nice fish!

Congrats on catching the one fish the TFF thinks might be larger than the scale weight.

There is no way that fish is only #6.7. Unless your holding that fish a LONG way from your body. It looks like a Share Lunker for sure.

Monster.

So true!

This is a TFF first!!! Someone posting a pic and weight but on the other side of the argument! Never happens, always the other way around.
