My biggest largemouth was around five pounds, Thurston County circa 1980.... a few years ago.... :bash:
 
And yes I clubbed it, threw it on a stringer and filleted it for my mom to cook up... :chuckle:

I personally don't have a problem with people keeping bass like others do, but I think large mouth taste like rotten poo. SMB's (small ones) taste more like perch tho I think.

when I was young I use to always take my bass home and cook em up. The bigger the better. But now I'm too lazy and only keep them if I hook them to deep. Plus now I've got a sweet tooth for walleye.  :chuckle:

Most any of the CR systems need the smallmouth harvest increased. I was 100% CnR by choice, not opposed to those who do - it's in the regs. But I'm beginning to keep some of the smaller redeyes b/c there are too damn many, not helping the fishery. I'd hope folks would let the bigger spawners go, but we could stand to weed out the smaller ones.

yeah like I said, in my opinion (humble as it may be), the bigger bass just taste nastier.

That's awesome bullchaser!  Definately the biggest one I've seen from WA.  Wasn't there an article about her a year or two back in one of the local hunting mags?  I don't think it would be possible for me not to do a skin mount on an 11+ from WA, but that's awesome you released her.  Best of luck breaking the record this year.

oldie but still good

When I retired, I could hardly wait to spend time enjoying my favorite pastime -- bass fishing. I got my own little fishing boat and tried to get my wife to join me, but she just never liked fishing.

Finally, one day at the Bait & Tackle Shop, I got to talking to Sam, the shop owner, who it turned out loves bass fishing as much as I do. We quickly became fishing buddies. As I said, the wife doesn't care about fishing. She not only refuses to join us, but she always complains that I spend too much time fishing.

A few weeks ago, Sam and I had the best fishing trip ever. Not only did I catch the most beautiful bass you've ever seen, only a few minutes later Sam must have caught his twin brother!

So I took a picture of Sam holding up the two nice bass that we caught and showed the picture to the wife hoping that maybe she'd get interested. Instead she says she doesn't want me to go fishing at all anymore! And she wants me to sell the boat! I think she just doesn't like to see me enjoying myself. What would you do? Tell the wife to forget it and continue my hobby or quit fishing and sell the boat as she insists?

Thanks,

Lloyd

P.S. Enclosed is a picture of Sam with the two bass we caught:
