Hi,
Some time ago I quit posting on SAI forum. This was bad idea. So I.m back :)
In other thread I was complaining that my tope trip was cancelled. It looks like for consolation I beat my personal best in bass. Here is 78 cm long bass from Dingle. I do not know how much it weight because I want that fish back in the water as soon as possible, so measuring its length was method of choice to determine its size.

All the best to ya all,
Tommy

Super fish, Tommy. Well done. 9 - 10lbs at a guess.

Super fish. Were you spinning in the dark?

id give it a good 8 anyway tommy man... well done

Nice fish....pencil bait,stick bait or slider...definitely not a popper...

Have a look at this thread:

78cm would seem to put it in the 10-12lb range :D

so my 9.5lber could have been a specimen :shock: :shock: ... i sholud always carry some set of scales myself for future verification :wink:

No, your 9.5lber was 9.5 lbs (+/- 0.51lbs). :lol:

11-12lb to me. What a cracker!

great fish mate, one to remember

Thanks for all your comments.

Were you spinning in the dark?

Yes I did. Like that very much – you can hear that water is alive! All that sandeels, escaping from under your feet, worms, crabs and birds on a beach. And what I like best – sound of bass striking on it’s prey. :)

I would say so. As I was holding that fish on my hands I would say that it was slightly more than 5 kg (11lb) – but of course that is only my guess.

My hat goes off to you tomas, catch and release for a fish that big is an amazing feat...obair maith mo chara

nice bass you know its a good fish when the angler has to keep his arms in cos its to heavy to hold out for a photo :lol: not much point in trying to make that one seem bigger :wink:
