13.4 lb largemouth bass on a swimbait

[bboyobak]

What A BEAUTY! still trying to get bite on my hudds...

[darthshadowxxx]

whoever you called probably though you where talking about your friend's dick lol

[FilipeCzech1986]

It isnt largemouth bass. Its THE LARGEMOUTH BOSS!!! B-)

[cdoliver]

I don't know many people that can pick up a 13lb bass with their rod to put it in the net... then the fish went off camera for a bit and came back after a second... somethings a little "fishy"...

[MrAossola]

how can you land such a bigga bass in less than 10 sec............... bbull shit!!!! cannot believe it....

[McSum69]

Matt Greetings from Russia.Tell me what baitcaster you use.

[EMILYBRO18]

LOL at you saying this was a swimbait fish.. Bed fish is more fitting

[tacticalbassin]

@EMILYBRO18 Early february in Norcal... oh I wish we had bed fish that early. Perhaps you should go to my website and read the full post, I lay it all out there.

[dabloodhoundviking]

fake. that bass didn't even move

[madhops7]

@dabloodhoundviking you know nothing about catching big bass obviously

[toolnv77]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn! HAWG!!!

[frumxero]

@frumxero nevermind, i watched it again... im drunk

[frumxero]

Why did u call your wife or answer the phone at that time

[mtinch7]

@frumxero Because he doesn't want to get bitched at.

[kiss60up]

Is this Bed fish?

[echo1er]

I got a giant in my hand. I wish I could say that.

[berawll]

Just take into consideration that there are strong fish and weak fish no matter what the size. I have seen 5lb largemouth that fought so hard I thought I had a 20lber on. I have also seen men 6 feet 6 inches tall and 300 lbs that couldn't bench press 150lbs.

It depends on water quality (dissolved oxygen and temp), the water enviroment, and if the fish are prespawn, spawn, or postspawn as to how strong they are.

[xXcam0manXx]

@miamiwax Love how people hate on bass just because they cant catch one

[redshaftedflicker]

@miamiwax Agreed. My friend just hooked and landed a 14 pounder and it fought for a grand total or 45 sec. on 10lb test. BORING.

[big3474]

@redshaftedflicker X-Box dosnt count

[xx4james4xx]

y was here tail split like that

[JamesWaton]

@miamiwax A 13LB seabass from england would be terryfing on a flimsy rod like that

[MrKilln4gold]

@miamiwax trust me they fight with normal tackle

[MCthebassman]

Miamiwax depends on your rod and reel if you are using a four foot nine rod and four pound test they will fight like crazy

[madgamer248]

not that i dont belive this but y were u both on the front?

[aholekhb]

Great vid bro, where in Nor Cal is that the delta? Also what swim bait and what color do u recommend for So Cal.

[tacticalbassin]

@miamiwax  The Calcutta reel, 8 foot rod and 80 lb line definitely help. ;-)

[miamiwax]

@tacticalbassin I just saw a vid of Bill Dance catching a 13 lber too and it didn't take one inch of drag. I think when they get that big they are too fat to fight. Come to Miami and catch a 13lb peacock bass and he will run ur ass halfway around the state of Florida!! Anyways nice catch :)

[jigpitcher7]

@miamiwax the fight is not why we fish for em. in fact i want the fight to be as short as possible with a big fish. its the outsmarting em. these are this big because they're smart

[UFGatorGuy20]

@tacticalbassin What's the fun of fishing if you completely overpower a fish with an 8 foot rod and 80lb line?

[clewi1091]

Beautiful fish.

[TheBassMasta61]

o:

[TeamRippnLipz1]

@BlackRainVideo Thats whats up!

[TeamRippnLipz1]

DAMMMMMMMM great job!

[iloveguns93]

damn nice fish. where was this at?

[tacticalbassin]

@BlackRainVideo Thanks for the feedback. :-) Watch my related video called 13.4 lber release video.

[SolsticeNu]

1 person's line broke...

[BassFishing375]

it's nice that you released the fish so you can catch it when it gets bigger you know you could make a replica all you need is a picture and the length and girth

[tacticalbassin]

@BassFishing375 Yeah, she's still out there for someone else to catch. I've got other big ones, no need to make a replica of this one.

[TheJohndeere1998]

@BassFishing375 Why would you want a replica? a bass that big would be one my wall the reall bass

[MrNuggy420]

You get some big ass fish in fast, yo should use lighter tackle.

[dannymartin66]

you guys out there love those huddlstons and I can see why!Love it ,you got the moment of hookup too.Awsome!

[xXpurplenurple007Xx]

Did you stuff that monster? I wouldhave

[tacticalbassin]

@xXpurplenurple007Xx No sir, she was released to bite again another day.

[baaaaaaasssssssss]

@tacticalbassin good job

[TheDerick435]

@tacticalbassin i wish more people would do that. Thanks buddy

[TheCheaterFilms]

@tacticalbassin theres ways that they can stuff the fish from the picture. plus the weight and length. They dont need the actual fish anymore. I have a 35lb 53 inch musky above my fireplace just from taking the weight, length, and picture.

[camoman122]

Well I'm glad someone can catch a fish on a HUD

[camoman122]

Well I'm glad someone can catch a fish on a HUD

[Jazepentz]

That is a gorgeous fish. My biggest is 12.5 so I got a little work to do to beat that one! Very nicely done man! Did she swim off ok?

[tacticalbassin]

@Jazepentz Thanks! Yes, she swam off just fine. If you look throw my videos you'll find the release video.

[Jazepentz]

@tacticalbassin Sweet! I hate seeing those big beauties die.

[RGutz81]

that was sick!!!! y did u guys turn the camera off after?

[tacticalbassin]

@RGutz81 Thanks! That particular camera can't be edited on the water and we only had limited disc space. We turned it off to conserve in case we caught more later.

[erix073]

matt lures or dobyns rod?

[tacticalbassin]

@erix073 That particular fish was on a huddleston and a Dobyns 807 MAG swimbait rod.

[patryklucarz]

This fish would make the illinois state record lol

[TheTomkat11]

what lake was that

[tacticalbassin]

That was 80 lb braided mainline with a 30 lb mono leader.

[kdubboyblue]

what pound test were you using if you dont mind sharing ??

[tacticalbassin]

Sure, I think I could put something together. Keep an eye on the website over the next few weeks and I may give some tips for sight fishing.

[CaptainG23]

Even though it was not a bed fish, you should be congratulated on such a fine catch.

I have caught dozens of DD largemouth on bigbaits, but very few bed fish that large.

Bed fish are very witty...any tips on how to up my game?

I really enjoy fishing the Central and Nor Cal lakes for giants...I have done reasonably well at Del Valle, Chabot, Coyote.

Keep up the awesome catches and videos!

[tacticalbassin]

No sir, that fish was caught in early February (that's 6 weeks before the spawn in Northern California) She had just chased the bait to the boat on the cast before and I could still see her heading back to deep water. So I am casting to a fish I can see but its just a big swimbait fish that swam up from a deep ledge.

[CaptainG23]

Was that a bed fish?

[bigbassmagnet]

WOWWWW. What lake is this??

[tacticalbassin]

Nope. The jig hook had failed on that particular hudd and had been replaced by a treble. It was the one and only hook and she was stuck well, right in the lip.

[dmbanik]

did u catch her on a stinger hook?

[stevemcgranahan]

monster bass

[tacticalbassin]

:-) Priorities... that's all I'm saying. :-p

[tacticalbassin]

When you're targeting big fish its best to carry a big net. :-)

[maplestar67]

Wow your net its huge

[tacticalbassin]

That was a huddleston Deluxe 8"

[72bassmaster]

what kind of swimbait was that

[Anglingissweet]

@72bassmaster its a huddelston deluxe 8

[tacticalbassin]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[mowderhed]

damn thats a nice fish......

[ST1delta]

Hudds are $yKc !

[bassinjames]

I love this! This is James William Maier, from Facebook!

[layschips11]
