For you to say "and to the several over 30's that i did land this year. " I can't buy it, unless you are talking inches. Please post some pics to prove me wrong, The best fisherman I know, i know many, would never say they lost 50s and 60s, those are fish of a lifetime and very hard to come by.
I've posted this on here before and I'll say it again. For the average angler -
A 12-18lb bass is 25lbs, a 25-32lb bass is over 40, etc. I've seen it a 100 times.
I've spent 1000s of nights at some of the best spots and I've seen a handful of 30s over the last 8 years. SOme of the absolute BEST fsiherman on this site, caught "several" 30s this year. The very, very, very good ones, MAY have caught 2 30s this year. Sorry man, I can't buy you caught several 30s.

last sept when we pulled this one in, I could have swore it was going to be my first 30. 42+ inches and such a great fight!!!. Turned out to be only 25ish. BUT, no way did i think it was 40 according to this logic. When it was posted on here that night I said exactly what the scale read.
why havent i caught a 50???
don't know...
but i know i love to fish.
