MONSTER BASS!?! sort of...
 

I was wearing them out yesterday. 4 - 6 # bass all over this little pond. The one in the pic weighed about 4 1/2 or 5 #. Anyway, here is the story.
I am wearing them out all over the pond. NICE bass. And I get this feeling I'm going to land a lunker before too long and BAM my rod bends and the john boat is getting drug slowly around the pond. Man I am stoked. Well after about 10 min, I think "Something ain't right." So I keep fighting and finally get his old head up out of the water next to the boat. 10 # turtle!! [&o] I was heart broke. :( Now I had to get this monster off my hook!! That took another 20 min.
Anyway they were biting well yesterday. Bass and turtles!;)

Congrats, nice fish! we went out yesterday and caught 15 or 16, all under 15 inches...big ones are spawning right now, and you can't see the beds in most spots because of the murky water.

I used to fish only bream, but am now getting back into bass, and caught a nice one at a local pond Saturday. I am excited about the coming summer and getting out all I can...

Weighed what??
 

Not to burst your bubble, but you need to go get a digital scale. At best that skinny bass weighs 2.5 pounds. Most folks thinks they are bigger than they are. Invest in a good digital scale. It will educate you, as it did me.

ground hunter,

i just caught a 4 1/2 pound bass three days ago. it was a little over 19 inches long. that fish seems to be a little bigger to me. i think he is right it weighs about 4 1/2 - 5 pounds.

farm country nice catch.

Just the other day my brother and I were fishing and a snapper kept stealing our bait but finally we got the best of him. It hooked it self in the claw and it was anywhere near from fun to get out. Then it was running away on the dock when we got it out, it was crazy.

We had scales with us. We weighed each fish. I do a LOT of bass fishing and can estimate pretty dang well, however, I did not have to estimate that fish. Maybe the pic isn't that great, but that's a pretty nice fish.

farmcntry i think the pic is fine and shows the size of the bass well. dont worry about it. (not that u will);)

I won't. I've been bass fishing a long time and even won a few tournys. I may not know much about much, but I know bass.
