GRA-Bass Photos (gratuitous bass photos)

[Johnsfolly]

With all of the talk about largest smallies or what you've caught I decided to start a thread to post all of your gratuitous bass photos. Post photos of memorable fish, largest, smallest, whatever. Here is a few of my own to get started. like the tip jar with a couple of dollars as starter money!

A couple of Current River smallies - this first one was caught on a marabou jig in the blue ribbon section. I have caught big browns in this hole in the past and on this trip only caught a couple of brown bass.

This one is my current PB smallmouth that I caught on the lower Current River.

You never know where or when you san catch smallies.

Here is some summer smallie. Both were caught on baby bass flukes.

The infamous Neosho smallmouth bass!

A shoal bass caught on a Excalibur spit-n-image down in Georgia. And the river that I caught the shoal bass!

My first redeye bass also caught on the same bait as the shoal bass. I was trying to catch all species of black bass at the time. There were nine species at that time and at least 6 of them could be caught in Georgia. I went and fished several creeks and rivers and ponds all across the state. Now they have added the Choctaw bas and split the redeye into four or five species. Looks like a whirlwind trip to Alabama and Georgia is likely in the future!

Upstream from where I caught the redeyes I could have trout fished. This creek is fed by the tallest waterfall east of the Mississippi.

I'll end with a largemouth. I had caught a bluegill on a sunfish bug and this bass swallowed the bluegill! My largest LMB caught in Georgia.

My best is only 18", about 20yrs ago on a very small stream.  even more memorable although not very big was my son' first smallie he caught from the same creek last year.

I hope that there are a few in our future☺! I'm pretty certain that there will be another Taney trip!.  We didnt take any photos of they white bass that we caught.

Night time smallie and a white that I think was yours. He was a bruiser

JHK - Thanks for posting that Taney smallmouth photo. Also glad that you got a white bass photo from that trip. That was a great multispecies trip. Who would have thought that we would have caught so many  different species on a night trip to Taneycomo! I caught walleye, that smallmouth, a green sunfish!, rainbow trout, that big white sucker, and white bass. No browns. So a return trip is in order!
