biggest fish

[slopmaster]

i thought it would be cool to share what our biggest fish is and what you caught it on if you would like to give out that hightly classified information . mine are 2 20 1/4 inchers one on a jig and pig and the other on a white senko.

[SluggoMaster]

Two 7 pounders (~22 inches each) one on a buzzbait midsummer, the other on pig-n-jig in March. Both were on Lake Chickamauga (Tennessee River) in southeast Tennessee. Here in Minnesota, my best is 6 1/2 pounds (21 inch and fat) on opening weekend in 2003 on a Rapala Husky Jerk ripped through shallow weeds.

My biggest Smallie was 19" caught on Borden lake (not really known as a smallmouth lake) under a dock with a senko in the fall. Plus, it was only the second smallie I'd ever caught. FUN

Biggest Largie was 20.5 on Buffalo lake throwing spinnerbaits for pike on the outside weedline. It was caught before Memorial Day . Not sure if it still counts. But at least it wasn't on a bed!

Great thread - should be fun to read:

Largemouth: 20.5" just over 5 lbs on a buzzbait on O'Dowd last summer from the canoe -- very fun to catch.

Smallie: 19.5" on the St. Croix just under 5 lbs on a little zara spook -- even more fun to catch!

I get so excited just trying to imagine what it is like to hook into, fight, land a 6+ pounder!! Someday, right?

Keep on keepin' on all!

My biggest bass came flipping an Exude tube on lake Toho in Florida.. 10lbs 14 oz...

My biggest Minneosta bass was caught on a pumpkin jig with a white craw on leech lake, 7lb 2oz.

[Mr. Pike1]

Oops, looks like the question was biggest bass and do to my high energy I babbled off everything I could think off...That being said I might as well add a 20lb carp ice fishing and open water.

Deitz or anyone for that matter. Has anyone hit the 300 bass club yet?

My biggest Bass came on Potato lake in the PR area it was 23.5 inches and weight about 7.5 pounds. I caught her on a dark green SCUM FROG, the best bait in the world, these thing's produce constantly, and there is nothing like seeing a big explosion like that.Scummie

Nice fish. THe state record is 23 inches I do believe, maybe you should have submitted!!!

[Deitz Dittrich]

mPike1.. 302 as of today...

[Bobb-o]

here's a pic of one of my biggest, this one went a little over 23 1/2"

[Rippinlip]

My personnel best a 21" out of Cedar Lake (faribo) Black-n-blue jig with exude trailer just before duck opener last year

My daughter landed a 23.5 PIGGY out of Mazaska(the fish is still out there) this year on Walleye opener working a sharp wind blown break on a jig-n-minnow combo. (She out fishes dear ole Dad all the time)

[Jim Hudson]

Not much of a largie guy... but for the bronzebacks, my personal best is a 22.75... Unsure of it's weight, but it was BIG!!!

[Bullwinkle]

My biggest bass went 20in and was around 5 lbs. Caught on Inguaduana near Longville using a scum frog over the wild rice.

[Fever]

Hey Pike, that's a heck of a respectable list... I guess here's where I measure up.

Lg mouth 21.75 6 lb 7oz

Sml mouth 19.5 4 lb 12oz

Northern 38 incher, didn't have scale.

Walleye 29.75 inch 10 lbs On the wall (had to, long story)

Crappie 14 inch

Sunny 9 inch

Perch....? maybe 11

Muskie .... Have had several follows and probably a couple lost lures while bassin but have never hooked up...

[RobertELee]

The fish in my avatar is currently my biggest. 6lb 10oz (sorry I dont remember the length) caught last september on Lake marion in lakeville.

[Mr. Pike1]

Fever, the panfish ones I am pretty sure I will never see again. These took place many many years ago on a lake by Ely. There were "mutant" sunfish the size of dinner plates on their beds and in a back bay there were the crappie that were all 14-16" beasts. For the crappies we were jigging for walleyes and surprise monster crappie.

The others listed all have a chance to be topped. One thing I would like to do is try for the sturgeon on LOW.

Oh I just remembered I have got some nice cats on the horseshoe chain ice fishing. I would guess 7lbs to be the largest but that would be more speculation that fact.

I also will say some of the big carp I have got on the Mississippi that have pulled me around have also been a blast. Carp are very under-rated and under fished. Great fighters.

Deitz, I am at 301 and on Saturday I will be in Little Falls fishing an area primarely for walleye. However, there is also some great small mouth areas and I am hoping to spend a few hours chasing the smallies and adding to the total. I also am going to get out for a few hours on Sunday morning at my neiborhood pond and hope to add a few.

This may or may not be my biggest bass...

It weighed 5lb. 12oz. and seemed a bit skinny. Im guessing she just spawned. I say might be my biggest because I dont really weigh fish anymore, just measure them and I didnt get a measurement of this fish.
