Yes it's true, so if you choose not to believe me now is the time to stop reading. I caught a 10.53 lb bass tuesday on Wildcat lake using a shiner

Ah, grasshopper, you have done well. You have snatched the pebble from the master's hand.
![]() WTG LIZARDS! A 10 pounder is rare enough, but to catch 2 on the same day? What are the odds? Congrats on the pair of hevyweights! Or should I say trio?

Thanks guys, it really is just AWESOME. No the fish in Indiana just doesn't compare. I just emailed the shiner bass to Reb, hopefully he won't get to mad and not post the pics. The ohter 2 bigger ones should hopefully be emailed tommorrow to him if he doesn't mind of course. I truly couldn't believe it myself today. I called my dad right after the first one on the fluke, and then called him back within a hour for the second and biggest one yet. He was awful jealous hehe. I really hope everyone catches one that big, it really is just friggin AWESOME.
JB, Well you already know about the fishing difference from the sizes. But to me the biggest difference so far is all the thick, knarly vegetation around here, and most of the LAKES are nothing more than a bowl, it's not easy getting to the fish to say the least. It's ten feet at a lot of the weedbed edges, and all the fish are back in the weeds, and it's nearly impossible in many places to get the lure to the fish. Lizards

Lizards, did you get any good measurements on camera for sake of the big bass tourney?
If those are the best pics, well its obvious that you didn't expect such a big bass so I guess someone will have to take the golden rule pic, blow it up and extrapolate the length...I've done it before and it can be done so its accurate for the most part to an inch. Actually I can see that you have a pic near a white tape next to the livewell, the only problem is the darn fish is covering almost the whole thing up. Could you post a pic of the ruler without the fish so we know the length? Don't know about the girth, but those babies are fat and ready to spawn. Were you sightfishing or just casting to holes or what? What type of grass? How far back in there? BTW, ya need to clean the boat up!

Totaly fantastic. Congrats buddy. At least you got them on film. I never go without a camera anymore. It's a lesson I learned the hard way.

ARRGGG, that's 3 times in the last 2 days I typed up a long post, and it disappeared. Really ticks me off.
WTL, yes I can take more pics of the tape, but the pics I have are a lot clearer. So if you pm me your email address I'll send them to you, the golden ruler is 18" I must admit trying to take a pic on a boat by yourself, and trying to positiong a big ole bass by yourself isn't easy. I guess you can always go back to my previous weigh in's and read the tape there, and calculate it by that. It's a Fish Stick that has been mounted for awhile and is what I have used in every tourney on this forum. I understand folks not wanting to believe it, but I can assure you I don't care about the tourney, who here thinks I need more baits LMAO. I'm happy just to have caught them. Rob, No it wasn't Wigglers(I have bought some there though), I picked up the shiners in Palatka for the shiner bass, on my way down from St Augustine. I fished Rodman 2 times, for half a day. Sat I completely detroyed my trolling motor on a tree, laying down under water(had to buy a new one), caught 2 fish 1 small bass, and 1 large barrel fish. Sunday went back again, and only caught 1 midsized bass. I have verizon for cell service, and I do get cell service thereat Wilcat(not on Rodman though) my dad has something else and he can't get out on Wildcat. The Fluke was a Fin-S Fish from www.Lunkercity.com in the color of Alewife. Make sure to match it up with their 5/0 Texposer hooks. They fit them better than any other hooks. They are somewhat flimsy, but obviously worked LOL. Lizards

I'm guessing 22 inches(+/-1 inch) on the fish next to the golden rule, am I right? Man, those are some SERIOUSLY nice fish..awesome that you were able to pull in three big ladies like that. Whats crazy is that we have to catch a LM that big here in Kentucky for it to be considered a "trophy". How often ya think that happens??? lol

Lizards, I believe you 110%, theres no doubt the bass is that big. But the tourney has rules that we all must stick to. I know its tough handling a fish that large so theres no way I am saying we should disqualify it from the competition just cause the pics coulda been a bit clearer. That is a fish that if it is beaten, will only be beaten by ounces so we must have a definitive, accuratly derived number. Meaning that someone will have to take a look at the pics, blown up, to just make sure. Its more a procedural thing that we must go through in good faith I believe.
