I was out trout fishing today. I had one hit and landed one fish. It was
the biggest bass I ever caught. Although, I am sure this fish is small compared to what many of you bass fisherman take. This fish measured 19". I have no idea what it weighed. I would say that it was a typically proportioned fish -- not thin, not fat. Any ideas what range a fish like that would weigh? It definitely surprised me as I was trout fishing with an 1/8 oz. rooster tail. I felt the typical twitch-twitch and I thought I hooked a trout. Then as I got it closer to the boat, it took off running. Most bass I have ever caught generally break the surface. This one wanted to stay deep. The surface water temperature was 51 degrees. This fish left a good size puddle of blood in the boat. I was surprised because I hooked it in the joint of its mouth so I am not sure why it was bleeding. The blood came out of one of the gills, but I could not find from where it was bleeding. The only thing I can think of is that maybe I hooked it deeper, the hook came loose, and then reset itself in the mouth. If that's the case, then it was luck that I landed it. Jeff |
