I am a liar. I got my license today and figured i should hit a local pond to make sure it worked. Got a crappie, a small bass, and then this 17" fat lady.
Off to a good start.
9.7 pounds 25 inches long. Caught in December 2012 and mounted it. Please ignore me being fat lol...I've lost 4 inches off my waist since then haha
And then this is when fishing sucks. The treble that went in hit the bone. The bass that did it was still hooked on the front treble, and it was all of maybe half a pound....
Forgot about this one from last july, was using super flukes that day and this was sight fishing a 4+ lb bass. This thing bit and swallowed it.
Here's my biggest from my Florida trip just over 6. I still cant find that 10 pounder. I did lose something that was huge, I think it might have been a gator though. It broke my 17 pound line way to easy.
Nah look at his fingers, thats atleast 20 inches and healthy. I have no reason to doubt joshs credibility and know that fish is every bit of 6lbs. there are others on here though that need a fact check and accurate scale though.
