15lb Largemouth

[492slayer]

I've only caught 5 largemouth that were over 10 lbs... 15.48, 12, 11.5, and 2 just over 10. I've caught a couple hundred stripers and salmon in the 10-40lb range over the years and often wondered how accurate they were...

I didn't see a reply to how much it cost post. Do you mind letting us know, or did I miss it?

Obsessed, with shipping from Ontario, Canada to Yuba City and a full mount it was $1400. If you want a wall mount of the same size fish, you are looking at about $800. You guys might think thats nuts, but I saved for a year and wanted it done by the best. The pictures do not really show how incredible the detailing is. I don't know how many of you guys have caught a 15+ Largemouth, but I figure my odds are pretty slim of ever getting one bigger., so I had to do it. Like they say "Priceless"

Thanks, and by the way, Congradulations. Beautiful fish and mount.

Some guy just won the lottery for the third time - seriously - you'll break it this year.

Thanks for the encouragement Greg. I had a toad at Clear Lake last spring that was easily in the 12-14lb range follow my Hud not once but 3 times to the boat, bumping it the whole way. Tried every trick I could think of, and never did get her to take it

Need to watch some of Dave's videos - http://www.daves-california-big-bass.co ... videos.htm

He's gotten so many to go right next to the boat, using the figure 8, that it is ridiculous!!! Couldn't hardly believe it 'til I saw it for myself.

I know that works on Muskie and Northern Pike but bass too? I'll beeee.....

My partner and i fish for bass at night and then catfish till daybreak starting at about 3A.m. The other night i caught a cat that was just under 16lbs (was huge) My partner said now could you imagine a fish that size being a bass!!!! And only then did i realize how BIG a 15+ is.
Most of us just guestimate our fish but once you start weighing them you realize true size to weight!

We all have caught 10+ on coochs' scale

Yeah - in fact, he has one from the other day, the first time back on Casitas since the rubber-glove inspections started, and he has a couple of those encounters:

I was personally next to his boat on one of the videos, watching him play with 'Scarface', and that fish didn't spook - amazing!
