Weather : Mild:

Bait : Lug:

Rigs : 1 hook:

Result : 1 Bass:




Decided to get a session this evening after work as hadn't been out in a good while.
Popped down to a local spot at about 7ish, tide was just turning. Few small bites early on nothing to show for it. Just before 10pm had a good thump, rod pulled out of the stand, it swam straight for the shore so landed it handy enough luckily as there was a lot of weed on the edge of the shore, nice bass about 6lb i'd say 65cm a good solid fish. Took lug worm on a 4/0 hook, up and over rig. As a matter of interest there was two seals working the area as well for the evening. Great session lovely fish:

man that is some fish, I hope I get a fish like that some day! well done

very honest weight there, judging by the shimano mission in sea angler i'd say 13 going on 14lb

cracking fish well done

That's some Bass we can all now cancel our holidays to Waterford

Lovely piece of Silver Sir

Have to agree with Eric here, I would have thought more 7 or close to eight. Always hard to tell from a photo but I have seen many an angler post a "Double fig bass" post with a pic like that...!

nice one

Great Bass! Lovely pics! Looks a lot more than 6 lbs.

Fair play ! that's one hell of a Bass and in Dublin too!!!

fair play to you nice fish.
was out chucking metal and the likes last night myself and not a touch.

Well done mate,that fish looks a double figure alright,cracking Bass!

Paddy

Well done thats a great bass - it does look more than 6 lb alright although at 65 cm it should be in the 6 - 6.5 lb range.

Thats a nice fat one alright well done

Congrats lovely Bass

Cheers for the comments lads, i was just guessing the weight as had no scales to weight it, it is possibly that it was more than 6lb alright. Nice fish all the same and nice to see them that size up this way also.

nice fish there. i bet it got the heart pumping.
according to the uk Bass measure(as i dont know of an Irish one) that was posted here a while back it puts a 64cm Bass at 6lb and a 66cm one at about 6lb 8oz but says to add/minus 10% for the condition of the fish. id say you could easily add the 10% as it looks a nice fat fella so roughly about 7lb 1 or 2oz??
congrats to ya.

Congratulations on catching your Bass!
That is a really lovely fish, well done!
I can't wait to go bass fishing again, it's been weeks now, the withdrawal symptoms are really bad , I have the shakes and everything!
