So whats everyone's biggest bass this season??
I'm still trying to break 20 pounds with my biggest being 18lbs caught on a beachmaster darter... I've had quite a few in the low to mid teens but no monsters yet...I figure when I get back from my trip things will change for the better:D:

how about everyone else??

Like you, trying to break 20lbs.....

Unfortunately I have picked my fishing days/nights/times unwisely so far. Seems I'm always a tide off. Hopefully things will change for the better towards weekend and next week.

:faga:

37.5 lbs :)

17lbs is my biggest so far.

26 and a half

who cares?:p mine biggest catch is 3 lbs this year.

24# but I've seen a 27#er nd a couple of 25#ers caught by my friends. Another friend told me he caught a 23# Tautog from shore. I know this sounds like bull but he told me on Sat night and I could only talk for a minute. I'll find out the soop but he does'nt fish often. We'll have to see on this one.

26 1/2 for me:D

mine was from a boat :laughs:

fat 35" around 20#
first nite outing of the year

Hey Eben - I figured you would have done better at %%#^ $^^#&^@ than that :hihi:

:smash:

I am a skim reader too much bs has been in the post this winter, gotta get back to reading every dang word now, that is my best ever. I think I may have a good shot at one this weekend though, got soul glow??
;)

37.5

27.5 ...on a Tinman Tin. All else caught skunk.;) oh , yeah inches.

Nothing big enough to even bother estimating a weight :( Only being able to fish weekends really, really sucks! :mad:

Big Fish...err alleged Big fish...Not only does Notaro's fish count...you cleverly did not answer the thread

for the record...my answer is 35.5 inches & 17 pounds form Shore
40 inches & 22 pounds from Boat

16lbs for myself, friend caught his first bass which was 19lbs , tonight a guy from work got a 21lber in newport.

Ironically my biggest fish this calender year came down at the Thames and was around 20 lbs. To date locally my time out has been limited, but even with hundreds of fresh fish, I've yet to hit a big one. That should change, as I've actually been targetting numbers over size, yeah I'm sick, but I dig light tackle and when you add a heavy current them 25" fish feel like monsters on light gear. I'm ready to live line some macks and ply some spots to look for some weight now thou.

38 inches

Wonderbread lovely Tagger Pikie!

Thanks Eddy,
Mike

Have not even fished yet!! :smash:

I got a new Job for the state and have been real busy with that and repowered my buddys boat then had to work on mine.

But I am ready and I am going for the first time this Friday!!

27 pounds from me but it doesnt count because it is from a boat.

Shore is 19 pounds, on a popper.

17 lbs on 10 # test with a pogie Storm Shad - but with the full moon and a W-SW wind tonite, I'm gonna work on upping my tally at my favorite spot with Uncle Zeke and a dozen snakes. THe macks and squid have blown town. :(

I also got a trip on my friend's boat slated for this week, but it doesn't matter what I get by cheating that way :laughs:

BFDC :smash::fishslap::smash:

The pics aren't showing, and the second link says "forbidden".

Maybe PM me a pic? Saw you post, but never got to see the fish.

someday Ill catch a bigger fish . but my 44# was 17 or so years ago !

You running a firewall S-Journey? That maybe why.

Yup, Checkpoint cluster.

This is what I get on the second link, and the pictures from your thread were always X'd out.

Could be that the file is too large?

Or the fish:-)

18 inches is my biggest yet. I haven't been out more than 4 times :( and haven't been to the canal once yet. I hope that changes this weekend.

I feel your pain slip knot. 20 inches is my biggest.
