biggest bass?

[Waterfoul]

Not sure on weight as I didn't have a scale, and yes, my arm was a little extended in the picture. Measured 24.5" on a golden rule though.

Any guesses on weight?

Based on fish I've caught over the years, I'd guess 24.5" to be closer to 7 lbs than 6 lbs.  I'd put that one in the 6.5-6.75 lb area for a Michigan bass.

My biggest weighed largie was 7.5lbs. 25 and 3/4 inches and full of spawn/bluegills. 



Biggest tournament smallie was 5.89 about 10 years ago.

A 10 + on the big O, man I miss fishing there..............

Caught several 6+ and one 7.1 out of my lake about 10 years or so ago.  Got them like that on a normal basis.   My prettiest one that was 6.9 came outa  a lake over by Gaylord knowen more for its native trout population than its bass fishing



And still to date, The best catch ever while fishing for bass

I've got a bigger one!

    Hmmmmmm Well, my biggest largemouth in Michigan isn't very big. 5.0 pounds.  I've been fortunate enough to catch 4 smallies in the 6 pound range.  The first was 6.3 on East Grand Traverse Bay, the next a 6.2 on St. Clair followed by a 6.1 on Burt and a 6.0 on Mullet this fall.  I need to start going the opposite direction on size !!!!!  They keep getting smaller !!!!  Maybe this season.
