FATTY BASS in the Brampton Area AUG 24/2013

instapump416 · Aug 24, 2013

My Grandpa and I decided to do some Brampton fishing this morning and this is what happened.

First cast with the Jitterbug that I found on a recent fishing trip was EPIC.

Cast...JITTER...JITTER...JITTER...JITTER...JITTER...JITTER...SMACK!!!!

This guy was huge and fat.

I was so scared that I was gonna lose the fish that I reached down to get a hold of its mouth.

BAD IDEA...his head started to shake while my thumb was in its mouth. The barbed hooks sunk in my thumb.
I had so many things going through my head on what just happened. Luckily my adrenaline was pumping that I just pulled the hooks out like it was nothing. Easy breeezy with blood dripping out of my left thumb (reminds me I need a first aid kit in my gear).

From the looks of it, how many pounds would you say it is?

I forgot to measure and weigh it before I let it recover and released it back.

This fatty is the biggest bass Ive ever caught.

Im totally noob and im addicted to fishing.View attachment 12057

4+ in my opinion, that's a hog for sure.

Nice fish man, that's always been one of my fears when I'm lipping bass boatside, thank God it has never happened before. Glad your thumb is ok.

Thanks for the comments guys.

It feels good.

You guys wouldn't believe me that I was shaking after I released it.
It took me about 10 casts for the shaking to go away..haha

My guess is 4-5. Nice hog

That bass is huge, never seen any bass of that size come out of Brampton.

Christopheraaron · Aug 25, 2013

4-5 for sure, unless you're seven feet tall no way is it 6-7 lol

yush_gta · Aug 26, 2013

also have to say 4 min and 5 max. i think pretty much every lake has at least a few of those lurking. the question is, are you the lucky one to catch him? well done.

Kit · Aug 27, 2013

That thing is huge. Damnn

FishingNoob · Aug 27, 2013

That is a HUGE bass! Nice work on the release.

AaronKrick · Aug 27, 2013

Nice job! My guess is 5.5 lbs.

rich_ace_G · Aug 27, 2013

That looks about 4-5lb but hey what's with the weight? if that's the biggest you got in your life congrats! Awesome catch dude.
