biggest bass I ever caught
PEARL DRUMS:
Jon that is a largemouth.
mullet:
Nice fish!
Hawkdancer, don't feel bad. It's nothing to catch 15- 18 pounders down here where I live in Polk County Florida in the Spring. Most get released by locals. Google Lake Toho or Kissimmee chain of lakes.

Ed, would she have had eggs in her? She definitely was sportin the girth!
I wish I knew how much she weighed. I don't have a scale for fish, gotta get one. But maybe I could have gotten my fist in her mouth. I've got big hands though. :-[
Pearly, I figure we've got pretty similar climates. That's cool to know about how old she is. Caught and released her in a beautiful glacial pond so I know she's been living the good life!
Adam, I caught her on a live bass minnow. I've been using them to fish for pike, but I catch way more bass with them.
Mullet, not a day goes by that part of me doesn't just wanna just pick up and move down to your neck of the woods, just for the fishing! )F( Must be awesome )P(
PEARL DRUMS:
No eggs in here now, just a gut full of fall forage. They really put the feed sacks on in fall. They know they have 6 months of snow and ice ahead of them.
BowEd:
Jeff...Yep Chris is right.Spring time is the time to spawn.The reason I say fist in the mouth is because sometimes I need room to remove small bluegill type hook by hand very cautiously so I don't hurt them to release them.I don't carry special hook removers when I fish.
They're fun to catch for sure.To me they are an aggressive striking ambush type fish latching onto my bluegills when I reel them in too.
I solved that problem by using a cane pole to catch bluegills then just lifting the bluegill straight up right out of the water.
Your fish looks nice and healthy.
