Not sure what was wrong with her, but she was sickly. I saw her swimming like she was struggling to stay upright. Still smacked that swim jig.

Nice. Huge head.

Man if she was filled out, even post spawn, she would have been a good'un. Maybe just an old timer.

Huge fish. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe she’s full of senkos, power bait worms and creature baits.Nice

Nice fish!

Good gawd. She'd be 14 at spawn at least with that head

Probably truer than you think.

Let’s not get carried away.

She could have a belly fulla plastic but my money says she's OLD. That fish may have gone 12+ a few years ago. Still a big ole fish but I woulda loved to have seen her a few years ago.

I had a rottweiler years ago that went 110# in her prime. I put her down at the age of 13 and she was barely 60 pounds. I watched her waste away to skin & bones due to disease & tumors. I believe many large bass do the same thing.

Did you notice how pronounced the bone above her eye was? You can zoom in on it- I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. Had to of been an old, old fish. We were fishing grass lines in clear water at the back of a creek and she came wobbling through the water. Looked like she was struggling to keep from turning over on her side like we’ve seen dying fish do. I just happened to have my swim jig coming right at her the same time I saw her. She choked the bait hard but didn’t put up much of a fight. Was a neat experience.

They are born, they live, and then die.

Did you measure it?
