Your Biggest Bass
I am fortunate to fish the Central California and San Diegolakes. Icatch several Bass every year over 8 pounds, and a few over 10 pounds. My largest I did not keep or weigh as I was shore fishing, but she was 29 1/2" long. I am curious as to what a "Huge Bass" is around the rest of the country.

RE: Your Biggest Bass
Do you want to know what a big bass is in our area or what our biggest bass was? In Indiana an bass over 6lbs is considered a hog... My biggest was a 9lb even caught in florida when I was 12.

RE: Your Biggest Bass
I want to know what a big bass is in your area. Since Florida, Texas and CA. generally get all the "publicity", I am curious about the rest of the country; since I know there has to be some fantastic fisheries elsewhere for Bass.

For central Florida...a 10 pound bass makes the news..When I first moved here in 1981 it would take a 12 pounder to make the news..Fishing has changed alot since then. A 10 pounder although is not rare is still looked at as a trophy. My next wall hanger must be at least a 10 pounder.

There are many bass in Virginia every year caught that
weigh over 8 pounds.My personal best is 8.4 pounds
caught on a zoom lizard.We have a lake here called
Briery Creek Lake that is about 700 acres that have many
bass caught every year that weigh between 8 and 14
pounds every year.The best ever caught out of that lake
weighed 16.3 pounds.This lake is stocked with the Florida
strain largemouths.We have so many good fishing lakes
here but still prefer fishing small to midsize lakes. Mike
