Whats your biggest Bass you've caught in Michigan?!!!!

[TCook]

6-10 Largemouth from big crooked in sister lakes, just got Polaroids of that one.

[Bender]

LM was last summer. I went out for a short trip one morning in my little 10' boat and caught this one:

Of course I had no scale and only my camera phone. Measured 23" long and was fat, it dwarfed pretty much all other bass I have ever caught. Small little lake but it has good ice fishing too with some big gills.

Caught my biggest ever on opening day 1983.  I was 16 at the time and of course have NO pictures to show for it.  Didn't even own a camera at the time.  She was 25" and full of spawn.  I'd guess her to be in that 7 lb range.  A couple of guys trolling near me were appalled that I threw her back!!  I just laughed.  She came on a rattletrap on Glen Lake.

7lb 1oz smallie on st clair and Ive got a 6lb 4oz Largie on Erie...so far

I have a pic of what might be my biggest smallie but we didnt weigh it. I have a bunch just under 6 but the one I cought fishing with cast n blast in a DK open looked a little bigger than the others.

Caught my biggest ever on opening day 1983.  I was 16 at the time and of course have NO pictures to show for it.  Didn't even own a camera at the time.  She was 25" and full of spawn.  I'd guess her to be in that 7 lb range.  A couple of guys trolling near me were appalled that I threw her back!!  I just laughed.  She came on a rattletrap on Glen Lake.  

I would think a 25 incher full of spawn would be in the 8-9 pound class maybe heavier.

25" could be huge, one of my smaller mounts is 25 3/4" and that ones 9lb 14oz.

I caught one two years ago on a small lake. Had it mounted, never weighed it. It was 24 3/4 inches. Sad story, my sons dogs ate it while they were here for Christmas this year, LOL.

[McCarter]

ate the mount?

You may be right... but since I've never caught one like it since then (biggest since then is a 22" 6 lb 1 oz largemouth I have on my wall) I can't really say.  All I know is it was a HUGE fish.  I measured it on the sticker ruller I put on the middle seat of my 14' aluminum boat.  If I still had the boat I'd show you a picture of the tic mark I put on the seat with a screw driver!  LOL!!!  Her tail was really beat up too... might have been a 1/2'" longer actually.

To add to the story... my parents never believed I caught such big fish in our lake since I never brought them home (caught several 35-40" pike and 5-6 lb smallies as a kid too).  I'm an ardent catch and release fisherman, always have been.  About 10 years ago I got my first digital camera.  NOW they believe me!!!  I have pulled at least a dozen 5-6 lb smallies from that lake in the last 10 years... and I only get up there once or twice a year now.

[mikesmiph]

Yes, they ate the mount. It wasnt on the wall. All they left was the wood it was mounted to. Cant understand, all it was was skin and styrofoam.

Biggest one was a 6lb largemouth this past summer on a small lake I live on.

[LipRip]
