Megabass of America

Throwing it back to one of my favorite fish from the last 5 years… blind in one eye but had no issue tracking my bait down. It’s remarkable how these fish can still grow to such astounding size (6.67 lbs x 22”) even with an issue as significant as this.

Mid summer fish too. How special❤️

Mixing bronze and silver is far from normal but I’ll never complain getting dragged around by either of these powerful Great Lakes creatures.. even better when it’s on the same day.

Wanted to share another unique fish from last year. A beautiful 5 lber with REVERSE coloring… have you ever seen a smallie like this?

I wonder if it’s genetic.. or based on environment/diet. Interesting.

This fish was also unique in the regard that it was the only bass I saw for the first 5 hours of that trip…😂 the day still paid off eventually with a 27 pound bag, but it’s good when they make you work for em.

A couple more flicks of the biggest bass of my life.

Discovering new ways to trick these old and weathered beasts will be something I likely never stop thinking about. Because the moment they cross into your boat, you experience something that few can describe.

Sometimes that feeling creeps in before the fish makes its way into the net too… and that’s what makes the battle all that more dramatic. It’s why we do what we do. Much love y’all❤️

You can’t beat shaking hands with both kinds of Brown in the same day. Especially when they’re both of world class size.

The vibrant colors and unique patterns that change so much throughout the year just fill me with awe every time I see one. Such special fish.

There are so many amazing fish to reflect on last year and I can’t wait for what’s in store for us soon.

This beauty weighed 6.62 lbs and was the third biggest fish in my biggest bag last year.

One of my favorite days on the water last year - 30 lbs 11 oz for 5 and just one of the most insane days I’ve ever experienced (so of course I forget my GoPro at the cabin)

It was an extra fun day because I swear I literally could not catch a small bass if I tried. The big girls were up and eating and the consistency spoke for itself. I ended up with a best 5 that were all very similar (Does “Cookie cutter” apply to 6 lbers too?)😂.. all of these fish were between 21-22.5”.

My 2nd biggest fish of the year, a hair over 7 #. She anchored my 4th 30+ lb bag of the year, which came out to a whopping 31.63 for 5.

She hopped in the boat during the last 15 minutes of my day as the sun was setting, making for a nice golden hour shoot.

It’s an honor to shake hands with a fish of this size and I hope she’s right where I left her next year❤️

I honestly didn’t think it was possible for a sub 18” fish to eclipse the 5 lb mark, but discovered that’s not always the case earlier this year…

I netted this one and started laughing pretty quick at how absurd her build was. She was taller than a 7 lb class fish, and way deeper too. But only ~17.75” long… and 5.4 lbs. She ended up being one of the smaller fish I caught that day, but I just find her proportions to be so incredible. A true 1% outlier.

Wanted to share my biggest Smallmouth of my life. A new personal best - 7.42 lbs, 22.25” long, and 17.75” girth. I can’t even begin to describe how it felt landing this fish. I knew it was her the second I set the hook.

This fish is what makes the hundreds and hundreds of hours I spent fishing this year worth it.

She came along my biggest bag ever, at 32.7 lbs… more to come about that later on!

A special fish that feels right to share.

5.13 lbs at just a hair over 18” long. To put this into perspective, generally a 5+ lb smallmouth is ~20.5-21” (obviously some exceptions here)… This was one of those fish where all you can do is wonder how long it will take until she’s the next genetic monster roaming the lake.

Cool catch. Hope y’all are doing well Instagram fam.

This one had me nervous when she attempted to launch herself out of the water with a big bait hanging by one hook out of the corner of her mouth.

One of my biggest LMB- weighing in at 5.33 at only 20” long. An absolute unit.
