Best bass for me in a while

Post by Shrike » Fri Aug 11, 2006 12:29 pm

My best for the day. This one put up an awesome fight! I was using 8lbs test mono and this thing would not get in the boat! I'm a horrible judge of size but I would say it is at least 3lbs. I need a scale.

I would say 3 pounds seems like a fair guess. Bass are hard to tell in pictures how much they weight.

What were you using alphas ito, blue black jig, rod?

It's a 1/8 oz spinner bait. It casts a mile with that alphas ito :D

The fish is bigger than it looks in the pic. I'm holding the fish all the way out but i'm holding the pole between my legs :oops: so it's much closer making the reel look big and the fish look smaller.

heres another pic of the same fish

I would say closer to 4 lbs...but pictures are kinda tricky. It could be 5 or 6...? Did you get a length measurement on her? 1/8 ounce spinnerbait...NICE!! ;) 8-)

Looks like it could be 4-6lbs.

What kind of rod do you have the Alphas Ito on?

The rod is a Daiwa Megaforce 6'6" Medium Heavy that I got at Dick's for 20 bucks :oops: It's a temperary setup but it's actually not a bad rod, very light.
