Anyone else still laughing at the internet Jockeys that can tell what a fish weighs from a bad picture? Cracks me up, bet that edit post button got wore out in this thread

It's only a good cast if you catch a fish... Personal Best: 11.62 lbs

Cracks me up, bet that edit post button got wore out in this thread I’m still cracking up from your “used to work at USGS and I know all about stream and rivers and Ivie won’t catch water”! Comes up 37 ft... who’d a thunk it?

I can’t believe it actually weighed more at Athens the next day by a few ounces . I know a few drops of water can add some ounces on it but I figured it would lose some weight with the stress it had on it . But I guess not goes to show that the TPWD really go above and beyond to take care of these SAL fish .

Once again Texas has produced a beautiful bass. She should make a whole bunch of babies for distribution all around the state/

Heck of a fish - congrats! Looks every bit of 16 to me, but I only catch sand bass these days...

Wish it worked that way. Teens have spawned thousands of fry in their lifetime. Exactly. And 99.9% of those fry will never weight 16+ lbs. SAL is good for stocking our lakes with great genetics but if we continue to remove all these freaks of nature we’ll never see a 18-20 lb fish. I’m not bashing anyone for donating their fish, it would be a tough decision if I was ever lucky enough to catch a 13lb plus fish. Garbage post. One big fish coming out of this lake to help support Texas fisheries does zero damage to the lake. That fish has already spawned many times and there are a lot more like her in the lake. If folks really wanted “trophy” fisheries they would all start taking live well loads of these keeper size fish out of these lakes. Just about all of them are overstocked for true trophy potential. Congrats to the angler great fish.

Wish it worked that way. Teens have spawned thousands of fry in their lifetime. More like millions. The whole purpose of the SAL program is to improve OVERALL fishing for the state. It's not to produce a state record. Science & history has proven that Texas native bass rarely grow to more than 7-8 pounds without genetic altering. The addition of Florida genes allow these fish to grow into the teens now. OH Ivie was impounded 30 years ago. Not to start an argument but do you think the 16.40 was an original brood fish from 1990?? The previous lake record of 16.08 was caught in April 2010. That fish has been in Heaven for years. There is a 99.99% chance the 16.40 fish was the product of second or third or even fourth generation fish that have benefited from the genetics from the SAL program over the years. Once again, a 16 pound fish is a FREAK OF NATURE. Even at Camelot Bell in a "high-fenced" situation where the owner has nothing but pure Floridas with NO competition for their food source, tons of bait, there has not been a fish over 16 pounds caught as of yet. These fish are force fed shad, bluegill, tilapia in the summer, rainbow trout in the winter and intensively culled. CB is 22 years old this year. This is just an opinion but I think there is a ceiling of how big the fish can grow in NTX and 16 pounds seems to be the point. The climate works against us.

There was at least one SAL that was caught at Ivie and put back in the lake after she spawned. and was caught again by another fisherman later and donated to SAL again .

I'm wondering where the guy who claimed he's caught multiple fish over 16 pounds and swears you can't hold them with one hand went.
