powerdive Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 A funny thing happened on the way to a walleye limit yesterday...this silly bass smacked the shadbait I was pulling on leadcore at 26 feet. Measured just about 22". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powerdive Posted August 14, 2011 Author Share Posted August 14, 2011 Yeah, I know. Figured the bass boys would get a kick out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
powerdive Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 You guys who know this stuff...not a very good picture, but is that a largemouth or a spotted bass? Never thought about it at the time. Reason I ask, if a spot, that would be a new personal best. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillback Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Tough call with that wonderful pic you took but based on the scales on the cheek appearing to be smaller than the body scales, and the base of the jaw not extending past the eye, I'd say it's a spot. http://mdc.mo.gov/fishing/fish-catch/fish-id/bass-identification Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whack'emGood Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Definitely a largemouth... a nice one too. Congrats!

Guest csfishinfool Posted August 15, 2011 Share Posted August 15, 2011 Definitely a largemouth... a nice one too. Congrats! YUP DEF. A LARGEMOUTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rps Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Look at the markings - the washout regularity versus bold irregulars. Large mouth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter91 Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 Good thing they don't taste like walleye huh? :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnm Posted August 16, 2011 Share Posted August 16, 2011 No doubt largemouth... Beauty of a fish, especially on accident. Very nice surprise to lip that one, my guess is around 6 lbs. Makes me smile and I wasn't even there Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
