my biggest of the season so far =]

I would have to agree that a 36" bass is typically in the "mid" teens. Little tought to tell without a picture. From my experiences, you need to hit the 40" mark if you want to start talking about 20 lb. fish. I usually don't measure fish, only weight them on the Boga. The one fish I did measure this year was 40"/21 lbs. with a few bait fish and crabs in the belly.

By the way, if it's your personal best so far be proud of it and put the picture back. As one of my mentors likes to say "I used to catch a lot more 20 lb. bass before I brought a scale." Nothing wrong with overestimating the weight. It's happened to all of us.
