I don't care what anyone says if you pull a 20# in off the beach that is a damn good fish. I would give the term "LARGE" to anything over 25#'s
This is all shore though cause boat fish don't count  |

You guys are kidding about boat bass being different than shore caught fish I hope.

Best to check with the OTW folks about this, they make the rules.
Of course, there is that whole "experienced fisherman" handicap factor we choose not to consider. All I know is that 28# fish I caught at age 13 was one helluva lot bigger than the #49's I caught at age 40?

The definition of "A Big Fish" from the BigFish is subjective at best! To a 12 year old a 28 inch fish is HUGE! To someone who lands his share of 20-30 pound fish, a 40 would be his bench mark! It all depends on the person on the butt end of the rod.  To each his own, boat/surf.....there is no difference! |
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

I think this really does come down to personal choice and feeling. I consider that I haven't broke the 30# mark even though I caught a 34 lb fish off a charter boat. I just happened to be the guy who picked up the rod and reeled it in. I didn't research the spot and the rod wasn't even mine. To me this isn't all that personally gratifying. I guess if you have your own boat and catch large fish you can feel satisfied about it and more power to you.
My personal opinion is that 20 # bass off the beach is better than catching a 30# bass off some charter boat. I would rather catch a 15 # on my fly rod than a 20 # on my spin. It's all personal feeling |

I always liked the adjectives MikeP used to describe bass of different sizes, maybe he will chime in.
Personally I classify bass in pounds not adjectives like large although I feel a fish begins to get decent somewhere around 15 pounds, I set my standards low. It also depends on the gear you are using, if you are using light tackle schoolie gear and you catch a 20 lb bass on 6 lb test, that is pretty good IMO. and if you are using a tuna stick and get a 15 lb bass, it is just small.
I fish for recreation, for fun, I don't commercial fish.
