Don't normally post here but enjoy reading the postings on this website. Here is a monster I caught the other week...11 lb 3 oz...freak accident almost! My line was about 4-6 feet from my boat when I hooked this one and then it took off spooling my line on my baitcast...didn't think I was going to land it! Thank god for my partner as nobody would've believed me had I not landed him lol

Beautiful fish! Looks like the bottom of the tail is worn down like it was fanning a bed. But it's the middle of summer! Hmmm....

I guess there will always be somebody who will question the legitimacy of something  :...I assure you, it was taken about 1 1/2 to 2 weeks ago  Warden/biologist even got to see it...it was surprising but that was one of the smaller fish taken that day.  The warden/biologist said a 14 lb, 13 lb, and 9 lbr were taken that day as well and they hadn't checked with all the boat launches yet.  This fish measured 23 1/2"

Very nice, indeed! I'll be back with my partner Stogie trying my hand at a big-un on Friday.
What area of the lake were you in? North shore, south shore, etc.

North side, fishing 14' water with 10" worm...I had just passed a submerged tree when I hooked him...pretty neat as I'm military and never seen bass this big at the last three bases I was stationed! Right after I caught this fish, I also saw another huge monster pulled about 1000 yards away off what looked like a crankbait. The weekend before I saw somebody else pull a HUGE bass from around the area I was at as well....both instances the people used a net so I am proud we never used a net to catch this one! I will say this though, the last two trips after that have really sucked...went out yesterday and it was slow. I heard the bass at choke react weird to changes in weather like cold fronts, low pressure, etc...not sure if that holds true, but when I caught this one we hadn't seen much of a change in weather for a good two weeks.

I dont think he was questioning the legitimacy of your fish at all. He was just noticing how the tail looked even though it is summertime.

PS....please send GPS coordinates of stump where you tied her off. I need me a mondster too!  ;D

Aw, gotcha ;D I wish I could...but man, I've seen two monsters pulled from there during the last 3 weeks (including my fish) and I have a feeling there's more rofl....it just amazes me how big these fish are even after the spawn...
