NICE bucketmouth! Always a blast landing them when you weren't expecting it

That’s a hog right there! In the classic words of Roland Martin, “WHOA SON!!!” It’s about the journey, but who says you can’t enjoy the milestones, right? Heckuva fish bro and nicely done. It’s all the sweeter when you put in the time and do it on your home pond.

What time of day did you catch it and what were the conditions? Did you see bluegill popping bugs off the surface at the time? Any signs the other bass in the pond, the micro ones were feeding at the time? I’ve always wondered if the apex bass eats at the same time as the others.

That is a BASS! The size of the head on that fish is the same as the angler's haha

Caught it on a senko watermelon with red and black flake. Caught her at about 7ish. Today there was nothing busting top water at all. And generally there fishing was slow..land 5 or 6 in 5 hours. Thanks guys. As i have been looking at the pics and videos all day, while I feel lucky to have broke the 6 mark, she just looks so much bigger than my 5 and a halfs. She really is a good looking fish. Even with the wounds on the side.
