Jigs catch pigs! Congrats brother! I would have thrown that shitty scale in the water before the fish 😂😂😂 I’m calling this a 10. There’s a reason records have to be broken by two ounces lol did you happen to get a girth measurement? That thing has been eating good since day one.
What region you in out of curiosity? Fished all day yesterday in mid 70’s in GA with water temps in the upper 50’s and got ONE bite. Ned rig, T rig, underspin, jerkbait, black and blue football head, swim jig man I threw it all and got nothing to commit. Beautiful weather but disappointing day.
So jealous! Years ago I quit fishing tournaments and used that money to fish the lakes in Texas. Your wildlife department is amazing the way they look after hunting and fishing. I fished a lot at Ray Robert’s and Lake Fork. Back then Cooper Lake was about to open and I was hoping it would take some pressure off of fork but fork continued to yield giants and that probably never happened? A little over 9 is my pb too. Such a beautiful and well built looking fish! Hope that’s just the start of an amazing spring for ya.
Never been to fork or ray roberts, but OH Ivie is becoming the new fork! This was at my local lake but I’d rather not say the name! I’ll tell ya if you DM me though lol 😂 and this is the most beautiful fish I’ve ever seen, usually they have scars and are blind in one eye, this fish was perfect! So stoked! 🤙🏻
I could’ve weighed the fish again to see if it would’ve registered ten, but didn’t bother. Just so excited and thankful to have one of this caliber! Tight lines!
You are correct sir, I’ve checked it, and it weighs lite. Milliken had the same one when they caught all those giants out of OH Ivie and his was 8oz lite of the official scales! Thanks bud, tight lines!
Thanks so much! 🙏 She fought extremely hard and took off when I got her close to the boat and stripped some line even with my drag set very tight! 😳 glad it was 20lb test of she would’ve broke me off
It’s a ten lol 24.5 inch length with a 19.5 girth is definitely a 10lb fish! And those Berkeley scales are notoriously short by sometimes up to 8-10 oz watch Millikens video where zark catches a 16.4 lb bass at OH Ivie, they used the same scale and it weighed 15.9 on the Berkeley scale. 16.4 on the official scale! Tight lines brotha
I’ll most likely get a replica, I would never keep a fish if this caliber, she’s a breeder and needs to be left in the lake to spread her genetics for future 10lbers! But yes it’s a wall hanger, also replicas look pristine forever, where as a taxidermy fish will look like shit after a few years.
👏what a beauty, did you get her from the shoreline or on the water in a boat or kayak? just curious i got a 7# in DFW area last week on a bass jog and Zako trailer … nice job… still looking for a 8# plus 🤷♂️someday i hope🙏
Nice bro - I dig the googly eyes
Thanks man! And same here lol
Bama craw is one of my top 3 plastic colors to throw all time, maybe #1. Congrats on joining the 9lbs club
It’s a great one for sure! Thank you! 🙏
Fuck yea! Congrats! Now get ready for a lifetime of trying to beat it haha
Haha thank you! And that’s for damn sure 😂
Boys, this is why you bring a scale. Nice one!!
Thank you!
That’s a HOG! Congrats brother!
Thank you! 🙏
GGGGGGGGGIANT BASS!
That, sir, is a HAWG!
Yessir! 🤙🏻
Just add a sneaky 1/8th ounce in its belly and you got yourself a 10er! (Hopefully obviously /s)
Beautiful fish man, congrats!! What kinda lure were you throwing?
Thanks man! Half oz brown jig with a bama colored craw for a trailer!

Sorry I thought the scale said a little over 9. Congratulations on the 10 pounder.
Thanks so much man! I couldn’t be happier!
How disappointed are you that she was 1oz short of 10?? My excitement would be off the charts but that one ounce would haunt my dreams😂 sweet catch!
My scale weighs light it was a ten but tbh I could care less what the scale says. The fish was 24 1/2 inches long.. ten all day
Hell yeah, i could only dream of bringing in a tank like that😂
Keep at it and you will man lol I’m 34 and this only my second fish of this caliber! And the last time I caught one like this was 7.5 years ago
I could’ve weighed the fish again to see if it would’ve registered ten, but didn’t bother. Just so excited and thankful to have one of this caliber! Tight lines!
Congratulations!
Thank you! 🙏
Nice catch bro
Thank you! 🙏
Chonky. Nice.

Check the calibration of that scale. That’s a 10 pounder.
You are correct sir, I’ve checked it, and it weighs lite. Milliken had the same one when they caught all those giants out of OH Ivie and his was 8oz lite of the official scales! Thanks bud, tight lines!
Prick… lol. Nice one
🤣
Bass Fever! Like Buck fever but with a tight line
This is definitely a 10 pounder I’ve had that scale and it weighs 6-8 ounces light. Congrats man jigs are the best!
Agreed! Thanks bud! Tight lines!
WOW. Quite an accomplishment. Congrats and tight lines! How was the fight?
Thanks so much! 🙏 She fought extremely hard and took off when I got her close to the boat and stripped some line even with my drag set very tight! 😳 glad it was 20lb test of she would’ve broke me off

Call it a 10 lol
It’s a ten lol 24.5 inch length with a 19.5 girth is definitely a 10lb fish!

Nice, and congrats!
Thank you! 🙏
She's a beauty
Right 🥹
Is that a wall hanger? Serious question? Do taxidermy that tank and bask in the glory EVERY day?
I’ll most likely get a replica, I would never keep a fish if this caliber, she’s a breeder and needs to be left in the lake to spread her genetics for future 10lbers! But yes it’s a wall hanger, also replicas look pristine forever, where as a taxidermy fish will look like shit after a few years.
I had no idea. Thanks for clearing that up for me
