mj2112 Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Happy Mother's Day to all you Mom's out there. Slow 2 days in the water but this was the best fish of the days.
BillM Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 What is that thing, like 6lbs???? HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joeytier Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 Wow, what a giant. Was it bleeding from the gills or something? Doesn't look too healthy.
Big Cliff Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 A real beauty for sure! Fish isn't bad either.
mj2112 Posted May 10, 2009 Author Report Posted May 10, 2009 That fish was bleeding from the lip, it was caught on a sonar (blade bait) and it must have cut it. It was fine though, we release all of the fish and that 1 swam away to be caught again by someone else.
bigpikemike Posted May 10, 2009 Report Posted May 10, 2009 dont know what looks nicer this fish or the gf!
rbaquial Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 OMG! That's a BEAUT.... the fish isn't bad looking either! Seriously.... nice catch tho! Congrats to the GF!
SNAGKING Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Did you drop it between pictures? His tail got ruin in the 2nd pic.
ciceri Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 Did you drop it between pictures? His tail got ruin in the 2nd pic. that's weird eh. Nice fish, but what happened to it's tail?
Musky or Specks Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 I would imagine the tail is beat up from the rigours of spawning. Nice pig
mj2112 Posted May 11, 2009 Author Report Posted May 11, 2009 I don't know what happened to it, I had to look at it after you mentioned it because I didn't see that before. I thought the tail was bent from the fish wiggling while she held it but it does look damaged. I am leaving her home next time.
wallyboss Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 The tail??? Is it the same fish???? One picture the tail is fine and the next the tail is gone. Don't tell me you got a piece of tail in the boat?
fishermccann Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 I thought thats why you take them fishing!
Beats Posted May 11, 2009 Report Posted May 11, 2009 The tail??? Is it the same fish???? One picture the tail is fine and the next the tail is gone. Don't tell me you got a piece of tail in the boat?
Fisherpete Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 (edited) The tail is still there... have you ever watched a LM's or SM's tail while you are holding them by the lip? I don't know if this is the correct word, but often the tail 'undulates' as you hold them... looks almost like that breakdancing move called the worm... LOL even more confused now? And by the way WOW, nice fish! Here's a pic of a nice LM I caught 2 summers ago with his tail doing the worm LOL. Edited May 12, 2009 by Fisherpete
mj2112 Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Posted May 12, 2009 Nice Largemouth! We caught a few of them but not that fat. That tail did not break off of that smallie cuz it would have been in my boat and that fish never hit the ground.
Leecher Posted May 12, 2009 Report Posted May 12, 2009 Great report and pics mj2112 That is the perfect gift for mothers day.... Congratulations to your GF for landing this beast Thanks for sharing Leechman
