BIG Largemouth last night

[kremer01]

Went out after work to a nearby impoundment. Not much going on until I landed this fella around 6:30PM. Needless to say it I stayed there the rest of the night. No more big ones but I landed a few more decent bass up to 2.5 lbs.

This one was 21.5 to 22 inches long and FAT! I could stick my fist in its mouth!

We estimated it at 5.5-6lbs.?

I caught it on a light purple tube with black flake.

That's a pig! I've never seen one that size that wasn't the southern strain.

And I want a Yuengling fly vest...

Thus the nickname "Bucket Mouth" awesome largemouth.

Morty, ya that was an awesome gift my neighbor gave me last year - he works for a distributor.

He is a great guy and hooks me up with stuff all the time - including Yuengling!

I take him fishing.

Unless you are a little guy, if you can just about say "I can get my fist in his mouth" I would definitely say a 6-6.5lber...Nice job I've caught 2 largemouths like that in my life, one at the north end of Honeoye Lake on a regular 1/8 oz. black grub body jig by the bathing beach, and one in Hempstead Lake (on Long Island- Nassau county; basically New York city) on a black 6 in Creme worm. Both weighed in at 6.5lbs. on the scale. Yep. "I can put my fist in it's mouth" is the first thing that comes 2 mind after "what a hog!"...Then the scale, after you think it might be an 8 to 10 pounder. .... One of those bigger brutes is REALLY large!!!!

I'll always have a soft spot for Yuengling. Spent the Pennsylvania blizzard of '99 at a fire hall in Pottsville, drinking free Yuengling and playing pool until 5am. They got two feet of snow overnight - troopers blocked 81 and escorted us off the highway, declared a state of emergency, called out the National Guard to rescue stranded travelers...

panfisher - I am 6 feet tall and 190 lbs.

I put my fist in his mouth with ease - room to spare.

Nick, he's still out there so git him!

BS you aren't far from me gimme a shout and we'll hook up if ya want to.

I'll gladly show you some spots I go to.

I'd like to get to know some spots over Corning way

What a pig! nice catch for sure. I saw one swim by me the other night like that in a pond and have been fishing it pretty heavy since. May have to give the tube trick a try.
