trythisonemv Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I think it is a smallie. But that is a tough one. I haven't seen enough meanies to be certain.
dtrs5kprs Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 This is a typical meanie to me. Whiter belly, dimensions a little off, and more of a spot shaped tail. Pretty defined stripe, but with brown fish coloration. I've caught a few that were "more green", sometimes with a less defined stripe, and more brown fish markings. One of those: You can see a more smallmouth shaped tail too. This one is a brown fish Dave caught with me this spring. You can see what almost looks like a stripe where her markings are just a little closer together, and darker. Think that is what is showing up in the one pic of the sea monster. How blessed we are to have such beautiful creatures available to us. huntest and Champ188 2
Quillback Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 You guys are talking me into thinking smallie now. A couple of means: A dark smallie: huntest 1
dtrs5kprs Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 I love those dark brownies. They look almost black in pics taken in the sunlight. Aw shoot, I love them all. Even the little 7" boogers that don't have their colors yet. huntest 1
Champ188 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Is that a Gunfish in that middle pic? Almost looks like a Dalton Special but the lip is different.
merc1997 Bo Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 i was looking at the pics, and the top pic sure looks like a mean mouth, but the bottom looks more like a brownie. great fish either way, and i am sure a very exciting young man. bo huntest 1
Daryk Campbell Sr Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 At his age, it can be WHATEVER he wants it to be. :-) Great catch, great grandfather. huntest 1 Money is just ink and paper, worthless until it switches hands, and worthless again until the next transaction.

Ham Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 The prettiest bass I have ever caught was a meanie out of Lake Whitney in central Texas. I slow rolled a spinnerbait on a bluff bank getting a LOT of wind. I wwent there to throw a spook, but it had way too much wind for that. It was about a 2 pound fish that looked like you took a smallie that you painted with spotted bass colors and then coated everything in a translucent olive. This was pre easy fishing photo days and I was alone SO no picture. I was in my Stratos 279VF which I sold in 1998. I'd have to guess it was August 1998 maybe 1997. I love that lake, but I'd be shocked if I ever fish there again. huntest 1 Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish
Members Otis Roostertail Posted July 20, 2015 Members Posted July 20, 2015 Totally Awesome! I can only imagine the stories he will tell about catching a world record fish with his Grandpa! huntest 1 Men and Fish are alike....They all get into trouble when they open their mouths....
Quillback Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Is that a Gunfish in that middle pic? Almost looks like a Dalton Special but the lip is different. It's a Yozuri Whack-O. They quit making them several years ago. Sometimes they pop up on Ebay.
