PB Bass
I don't fish for bass, but today I caught my PB by a long shot.
In my exploration of the NYC water reservoirs, I found a new spot loaded with medium size gills. After catching about 20, I moved to another spot, surprisingly shallow, so I didn't have much hope. After a couple casts, a fish started pulling line. Thankfully I moved to 8lb braid, since the 4lb I was using before would never have held.
After a good fight, I netted a massive bass.
Beetlespin for scale. Attachment 488640Attachment 488648Attachment 488650Attachment 488649

I didn't have a measuring tape, so I lined it up to my rod to measure later. By that measurement, it was about 19.5 inches.

Congrats on the PB!
But I'm not seeing the picture of it, only the sunnies....
Could be something on my end; anyone else not seeing it?
We want to see it!

I was going through some old photos. Every nice bass I've caught has been on a black beetlespin!

Nice bass. Personally, I'd delete the bottom pic.

In my best Roy Scheider voice from Jaws........."you kinda need a bigger net"
That's a beauty, congrats!

That’s a nice one! Extra nice on light gear. I got one on 6 lb mono a lot of years back that scaled at 5lbs7oz. Took a long time to calm down after that. They always get my heart rate up when they’re big like that. I hope you get another bigun soon!
