My biggest largemouth was a 6.1 lb. Smallie was probably a 20" rover smallie caught when I was about 10. Didn't get to weigh it.

11 lb 9 ounces in thebottom picture, thetop picture I'm certain she was over 12 pounds (old deliar said 11lb 5 oz and turned her loose) middle picture was my Dad's 11 lb 5 ounce fish

Caught a Largmouth around 82 or 83 in Southern Indiana that was 27 inches long and 10lbs, I didnt really know what I had back then ( I was just a kid )and let her loose instead of mounting her or getting pictures.

Large mouth 7.2 State Record is only 9.3
Small mouth around 3. State Record is only 6.2

They don't get big up here. Both were released. I haven't kept a bass for over 10 years. I only keep eyes 'cause they taste so good.

The real question is how many of you turned them loose and got replica mounts or no mounts at all?

Why would you want to get a bass mounted?

People do... I let pictures do my talking...

Why wouldn't you get a bass mounted?

we killed 2 of our big bass and had them mounted and my biggest I released.

I don't know I guess I'd just rather see a walleye or a northern on my wall.
