How big do bass get in NJ? Here’s what they look like in LA.

Hi,

I’ve been posting in the salt water forum, but recently have been fishing a bit in FW. I live in Maine and found some ok ponds to hit up. I have a YT buddy down in Louisiana that catches some nice large mouth, bigger than what we get up here, just curious how big they get in NJ?

My personal best is 9 1/2 pounds out of Round Valley.

PB 7lbr out of a sand pit. Bunch of 5s to 6s throughout the years.

State record is 10 lbs 14 oz. Probably a few bigger ones around.

I caught my 9 lb 10 oz bass about 15 years ago. A couple of days later i had one up to the boat much larger but it spit the hook at boatside. My 9.5 lb was 28 inches long. Weighed in at Effingers sporting goods. My wife caught a 7.5 pounder a couple of weeks before. I don't know how the bass fishing is at Round Valley anymore. The first thing the state did was kill all the weed in the lake. and now there is not much water left in the lake.
