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

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

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

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!
