This is easily the biggest bucket I have ever caught. I didn't weight it and don't know if its seven but my educated guess would say its close.

Thanks, the trick is to insert the football, then inflate it.

I have caught Legit 5 pound smallies on Lake of Bays in the Muskokas on live minnows a few years ago. insane fights. unfortunately, that was before I had a digital camera, so there are pics, but they are on my uncle's camera.

Been fishing the Holland River for 15+ years and never caught/seen a bass that big come out of there. Too bad you lost it, it would definitely be cool to see a 7lb bass out of there. Shore or boat fishing?

 

 

I can honestly tell you,Terry had one on a few years back.I can swear it would of been seven,possilbly even more.

I caught this bad boy 2 years ago while prefishing for a Simcoe tourney with a buddy. I couldn't get an official weight, because it bottomed out his 6.6lb culling scale. This pig was likely every ounce of 7lbs.

Hard to tell from that pic, but if that had any girth at all, I'd venture to say thats 7.5-8lbs

 

Beautiful fish

Magazine Material right there.....

[misfish]

Heres a true Simcoe 7+ that took the 2007 big fish at the bass pro open.Mark and Kenndy are small fellas.LOL

[OhioFisherman]

LMAO, Harrison that one looks like it never moved away from the feeding spot! Great fish guys! I caught a lot of them, but never one over 22 inches, the real pigs had a habit of swimming away early.

 

I have seem sixes and sevens, the nice thing about weigh ins, you don`t have to guess. No they weren`t mine!

Some giant fish. Josh - i especially like yours. Its a monster.

 

Think i need to start weighing fish. I always assumed my "giant bass" were 3-3.5 lbs. May have been bigger. Harrison - you must have thought i was a negative ass when in your contest i guessed your 2 fish to weigh 7.7 lbs. Sorry man. Honestly am under guessing weights.

better to underestimate than over estimate IMO, lol.

 

I weighed a walleye for an american tourist this summer who thought he had a 14lber, lol, I broke his heart when I weighed it at 7.3lbs

[JoshS]

Hey thanks Roy, Cram. There's some football smallies on here! Gorgeous fish!!

When I was younger, my dad took me to Bradford to fish the Holland River from shore and he caught the biggest LM bass I've ever seen. It was so big I could fit my fist into his mouth. Looking back now it was easily over 7 compared to the fish I catch now and it could of been over 8. I wish I had a picture, but its something I'll never forget.

I haven't fished for bass in years and NEVER weigh fish as the weight of a fish just doesn't seem important to me, but I do carry scales in the boat incase any of my guests want to weigh something.

 

When I saw this big girl though, I thought she was worthy of putting her on a scales.

 

I was casting shallow water for musky using a #5 Mepps.

 

A spring scale put her at 7.14 pounds and a digital showed her at 8.2 pounds. Don't know how accurate the scales were but they were both fairly close to each other.

 

Whatever it was, she was a definate trophy largemouth.

Beauty fish Lew, and that smile tells the whole story

[charlesn]

Awesome largie Lew. A serious trophy even though I know what you fish for woulda probably eaten it.

 

I've only seen a very few 6s never mind 7s. Any 8+ bass up here is a true super giant and quite possibly the biggest bass in that body of water.

[Harrison]

Who are ya fool'n Lew, I've fished with you, that's the size of lures you use. Thats a pretty cool realistic one though!

Crazy...That fish looks about 5lbs max......

 

I hear so many rumors of 8.5 lb largies, yet to see very many over 7. Makes those record fish suspicious. I wouldn't be surprised if they were exaggerated or caught in a pond/fish tank and fed shiners....
