A thread I can contribute to!
58 pounds, 9 ounces, throwing eels on a 14-pound test spinning rig in 5 feet of water, October 2005 (25 pounds better than my 2nd biggest). Biggest bass in The Fisherman contest that year, almost won a 24 foot Triton. I was devastated that I din't win the boat, I was already looking at marinas and electronics and planning vacations...It especially stung because the guy who won the boat, put it up for sale on the Internet, I had to stare at that classified ad for a year. Made me want to vomit, as my bass was bigger than his!
I was with a charter captain, I asked him how rare a fish like that was to a guy on the water every day. I'll never forget his response. He told me if I ever caught a bigger fish, he would ...ummm...perform a certain adult act on me at the shopping mall on Christmas Eve. That has me conflicted, as I'm not sure what to root for.
That weight was 8 hours after being caught. Could it have been 60 when alive?
