My biggest bass

A couple of weekends ago I was up at a buddy’s cabin on Mille Lacs and we decided to spend Saturday on a small lake just east of Mille Lacs. After a couple of hours of figuring out what they were going to bite on it was game on. My buddy threw the one bass oreno we had in the boat most of the day until the second 7 plus lbs northern of the day completely destroyed the lure. He also caught numerous bass between 2 and 3.5 lbs. I finally found some luck with the bass afer trying everything I had in the box. I found what worked best was a Texas rigged worm with a cone wait. I managed to pull a few of them out of the slop, but nothing of any size. At about 8 in the evening we started to creep towards the spot where we planned on doing a little topwater fishing around dark. The lake was glass and we thought it would be a perfect night for it. Well, that quickly changed as a nice breeze kicked up out of nowhere. So I decided to toss a sucker minnow about 2 feet under a bobber right on the weed edge. I throw it in there and no more than set my rod down when the bobber starts heading in to the weeds. I grab the rod and hook in to the beast pictured below. It weighed 5.25 lbs, my biggest large mouth ever. All in all it was a great day of fishing with wonderful weather as you can probably tell from my sun burn if I can get the picture to post on here.

That is an AWESOME bass! And you look like you just came out of the oven!

Sometimes that live bait does the trick. Good job!

Thats a Toad . What was the length on that bad boy?

There was a ruler in the boat, but I didn’t get a length on it. I know, what was I thinking? We got a reading on the digital scale and snapped a picture and let her go. About 15 minutes after that my buddy, who after seeing that fish decided a minnow might be worth a try, pulled in one that went about 4.5 lbs. Our 2 biggest fish of the day in 15 minutes on the last presentation we tried.

Wade, trust me when I tell you this, I felt like I just got out of the oven. Sleeping was less than pleasant that night.

Very nice looking fish

nice bass

What a beast! Congrats.

That’s a awesome fish!!! congrats!

That fish looks looong. I wish you had measurement. Nice.

That is one nice LG, really dark though.

Thanks for all of the comments guys! It was a fun fish and one I will remember for a long time. I think my favorite part was when my buddy about jumped in the lake after it when he first saw it. I wasn’t worked up until he said “It’s HUGE” and then started jumping around the boat like a little school girl trying to get a net on it. Nothing like keeping a guy calm when he has a sumo on.

She’s got to go better than 20″. It’s not that fat. Maybe 23″?

Awesome fish man. It is really dark. Was the lake really clear water?

And from one white skinned midwesterner to another, a link for you:

Moss, yes the lake was very clear.

Next time I go out on a day like that I will let you all know so you can buy stock in that sun screen company before I go. The sun burn was well worth it though.

Skineboy,
Very nice Largemouth. They are sure nice to hookup and go toe to toe with.
thanks for the pic.
Jack..

Man, nice fish! Is catching a fish with longer length than your waist size like shooting your age in golf??

Baron, that’s good stuff.

Sweet bass! Is it me or are they greener the farther north you get??
