A biggun

[Mark Christianson]

Here is a bass my neighbor got last weekend(fellow FM'er mdeiley). He was alone, and didn't have a ruler in the boat.
The Senkos you see above the fish are 7 inches each. (I was giving him **** , because I told him I would post that they were 5 inch Senkos).
Also, you can see the tail touching the side of the livewell, and there are a couple screws in the floor of the boat near the nose. Those screws were measured at 22 1/2" when he got back in. The fish was released.

What a shame that he didn't have a ruler or a digital scale for better confirmation, but I can say it'll be a long time before I get one bigger than that I think.

And your kid got a 21 inch smallie a couple of weeks ago? You must be feeling a little inadequate right about now!

Nice fish! Did he get it on the 7" senko?

[EBass]

5" Senkos - LOL that's the one you told me about eh? My biggest slop bass is a 20" outa Medicine right in front of MedMan.

Real Nice fish Mike! BLB and I are jealous.

Dan
He got it on a scum frog.

He had the Senkos for his unit of measurement.

Thanks all! It was great. Picture perfect morning about 6:00 AM went out scum froggin. Wasn't real thick slop sparse pads and pencil reeds. Just like glass on the water. Park Rapids area lake. That fish was taken Aug 8th. Went back on Aug 14 and caught several more. 1 20",1 19", 1 17.5", 1 16" and a few more smaller. Again awesome morning to be out. Good luck to all!

Sami-not potato but a lake not far from there. This cool weather only means one thing.

On Augest 25, 2004 I caught my biggest largemouth at 22"! It hit on a musky in-line spinner. When we got the pig in the boat I couldn't stop shaking....It was the biggest bass I've ever seen caught. We measured it, took some photos and released her. The pictures will be developed in the morning. About 30 minutes after that bass I caught my first musky at 39"! All from a metro lake! WOW!
