I remember reading a WON Bass during the high water years that someone caught a 10 pounder and it was the new record.

I caught a 9 pounder in practice for Stren last year.

[Ray L.]

That is true Ricky. It was a week or 2 before a W.O.N. Pro Am....
I fished Murray and we talked about it for a long while.

[Dynastyworms]

Then it was broken! A budy of mine catch a bass last week there (10+) took photos and released it. Sunday when returning his house boat told the marina and dfg about the fish and they started to freak out. Why didnt you keep the fish? they asked him.. After talking to him for an hour they gave him paper work to send the state to have the wieght of the fish estamated. ..... worst of all it was caught on my Rod and reel!!!!! But heres my question.... Do I get my name in the record book?? since it is my rod and reel........

12 pounds is the largest I've heard.

[Dynastyworms]

no a robo worm

[M. Warner]

did he get any pics? I would love to see this pig. The biggest one i ever saw was a 6lb and some change when i was fishing a pro am that my partner caught, and i lost a nice pig on a robo worm also in the same day. But thats awsome. I am glad to hear that he put it back

[Dynastyworms]

yeah he did.... i think 10 photos in all

[Pete Marino]

I heard Jeff Lee caught a 12 lber. back in 98 or 99 I believe.
That was the biggest I've heard about.

[M. Warner]

well hopefully he will give you one so you can post it on here. It would be cool to see.

the Lake Mead record is 12.0 pounds and was caught by Michael Geary in 1999......it was a spinnerbait and, in fact, is was a blow out special at Walmart on the FLW spinnerbaits.....he paid $1 for it and caught the record....I swore it was up in the Muddy, but that was a long time ago.....I met him on the ramp at Government Wash (back in the day).....just an everyday dude that was out fun fishing.....go figure!!! I guess even a blind dog can find a bone!!! I'm still looking for mine

[M. Warner]

arent we all brent. how was the fishing this weekend?

[B Becker]

Mead sucked (Saturday), Mohave(Sunday) was good.....actually smoked the trout up in the river....Willow Beach was washed out with the flood, so I went out of Cottonwood and ran up......saw some trout in the 5 pound range.....

[Byron]

Just remember -- Trout fishermen have dinky rods!

[B Becker]

wow!!! that's funny....did you write that one yourself??

[Byron]

Why yes I did - It was accually put on my boat trailer license frame for my buddies that think trout fishing is the only "real fishing" there is. Just a joke man - don't take it personally.

[Dynastyworms]

Here it is....... the measurement was just over 30in but its skinny... I dont think it will bracke the 13lbs mark! If 12lbs is the record

Joe is 6'1" 225lbs

[some guy]

that fish weighs over 10lbs?

[littlebailey]

i say just over 6. maybe. He doesnt even have a muscle strain going. 12 lb fish are hard to hold up that high. Well maybe just for me and Lance. Good Job, however big it was.

[some guy]

i agree bailey...my thought was a nice 6lb chunk. Great fish for mead. Im 6'3 210 and have boated my share of fish over the 10lb mark and this one didnt seem to crack that mark. I hope i can find that fish in the open.

[Ricky-S]

Six pounder all day and twice on Sunday.

Here is what a 10 pounder looks like:

[JasperW]

Yea i'd say 7ish..

Typicaly a 22" bass normal size is about 5lb. thats a good strating point in trying to figure weight.

[LV Ba$$]

Well if thats a 10lber how much do you think my 4+ would go I caught her this weekend (16lbs+ for the day). The fishing was on fire at Mead this past Saturday!

I posted my pic in the photo section. Dont mind the snow

Congrats to the gentlemen who caught that beast cuz thats an awesome fish for Mead it might as well be a 10lber. Come Lake Mead Classic time anyone of us would be super stoked to stick that donkey!

-David Zachgo

[Ricky-S]

Agreed. That is a great fish for Mead or any lake. I would love to have it at any tournament.

[M. Warner]

geez LVBA$$ 16 lbs for the weekend, was that for 5 fish or ten fish, cause i would say thats pretty darn good for this time of the year, but then again i havent been out in a while, so i am not sure how the fishing is right now. Thats a nice bass also David. I better get out there soon to see if i can find some pigs, and hopefully stay there for the lake mead classic. Time to do some homework.

[LV Ba$$]

Are you kidding me?

5 It could be 10 for you

Ive been on the same pattern that I won the Pro Tackle tournament on at the end of June. Im just finding the same stuff that the 3's and 4's hang around and staying away from my "good" water.

But whatever, I might be lucky to weigh in a limit come end of August

PS: When you go fishing EVERY weekend its a little easier to know whats up.

[M. Warner]

yeah i use to fish everyweekend, but lately i have been to busy with work and vacations, and trying to get stuff in order for my wedding, but i will definately be there this weekend rain or shine. I drive a silver and red team skeeter boat, drop by if you see me, and have fun. Thats a darn good limit. We only had like nine pounds in pro tackles tournament. I just cant wait tilll the end of august.

[LV Ba$$]

Hey, 9lbs was a decent bag for that day....the fishing was definetly a grind.

I work 7 days a week, 5 at my gotta do it to make money job and 2 at my wish this was my full time job

I fish with Gerry Webster in an all Green Ranger, I'll be sure to say hello Mr. Warner. Good luck this weekend and dont be afraid of the 3" worms

[B Becker]

Byron,

it was a great joke....I was just quoting a movie line.....it is all good....yes, I do use a wimpy rod for the trout....I actually loved the line, I'm going to use it from now on!!!

David,

you are on fire.....keep it up.....you definitely put your work in.....I have summers off and can't get on the water that much......good luck in the tourney......

and that fish is definitely not 10+....sorry......shoot, Harold Adams caught a 9 pounder in an ABA years ago, and it was the ugliest looking fish every.....if Mead fish get that big, they are grey, old, and ugly.....that was a good looking fish and something to be proud of.......way to go....

[Guest]

That is a heck of a good bass... anywhere but, especially on Mead. however, to me it doesn't look like it will go over 10 lbs. 10 Lb Bass have a head on them that will take almost two fists in its mouth plus they are slightly deformed looking in the front half of the fish.. I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade! I'd take a fish like that on Mead anyday and be thrilled.... but, if I had to guess I'd say 8 lbs... maybe 9.... but, photos make it tough to tell!

[203DCX]

Nice fish no doubt. However, I don't believe it's even close to 6 lbs. Not tryin to rain on the parade. I was lucky enough to catch a good one @ Mead (luckily on the right day) last year. Hit this link - http://www.americanbass.com/2006_south_ ... rticle.pdf

scroll to the bottom right side of the page, and put the pictures of both fish side by side. I'm not seein a lot of difference.
Congrats on the nice catch, hopin I can get one this year as well.

No problem Brent - My brothers license frame is another good one to stirr things up. It says "Catch and release" -- "In hot grease".
He gets some pretty sh#$ty comments about it but like you said, it's all good.

[some guy]

Im 6'3 215lbs and I put a pic up of a 6.30 i got saturday at hodges. check it out under lake hodges saturday...You can use that as a referrence.

[Rod Wynn]

It's safe to say that the fish is not 10lbs. especially if you had to put his height and weight in the pic to "justify" the size of the fish..
Nice fish for Mead non the less but I must say if anything is under estimated, it's the angler's weight...The fish is over estimated..
I'm 6'1" 222 and my girth is not that large..

[Dynastyworms]

I didnt think it was ten...but when the said it was just over 30inchs.... how many 6-7lbs fish are 30inchs??? He is amped because fish and game was pumped on it.... no doubt it was a great fish for mead. I said his hight and weight to give prospective., and to get a better judge of weight form everyone.......For Joe, i wish it was a record. You dont meet many people like him. Wouldnt of happened to a nicer guy
