Didn't get any love/hate on the photo board, and I need to brag somewhere. Got a good one last weekend on Guntersville. 8lbs 4oz. One of the more intense 30-45 second periods in my boat lately.

Thanks man. Got her on a Zoom trick worm. Typically fish that on a spinning rod, but being at the Big G I rigged it on a caster with 14lb line...thank God.
My nephew (6' 1" and prolly 180lbs) netted it after a short but fierce struggle. I was so amped I grabbed him up net, fish, and all with one arm. Swung him around like he was no bigger than my daughter. He got an elbow under my chin so I couldn't kiss him, but it was close.
I bet! Hahahaha man it's been years since I caught anything over 6lbs much less 8+.... I may have to just go catfishing on the Ohio again to hang into a bigun.....or go saltwater fishing!

Nice Piggy, Congrats on that brute. Oh and a bass that big is HUGE in any state.
WOW.........Very nice. That would would be a wall hanger for me. I don't have one over 7.5.....
Later,
Geo
Thanks Geo.
Last night I checked the hand scales I weighed her on. A bag of tools that weighed 8lbs and 3oz on the hand scales weighed 8.66 lbs on Equalizer tournament scales. So maybe was closer to 8.7 than 8.25 ...doesn't really matter.
From her tail, she clearly hadn't spawned yet, so I figure she's fanning her out a bed right about now. She's keeping a sharp eye out for a Buck to spray her eggs and watch the nest.

Bass that big has really good genes, she will lay some eggs that will produce another future piggy like her.
Super fish Jim, way to go man. That is a serious slaunch donkey....

Nice fish. A little incentive to get out on the water.
Weather is beautiful, but the bass fishing is pretty raw on Barren right now. Bass fish daybreak till maybe 10:00am, then pan fish. Best chance to get your string stretched out of shape is to crank for Hybrids. Had big ole Hybrid take a stick worm Wednesday nite...tried to pull me out of the boat.
