I saw that a bunch this week. Real nice!  It's girth is impressive,,!  I've caught them 22" a few times and they were about 6lbs.  I saw one once that I swear was 24" but didn't get her to take.   I bet it still wasn't 9lbs though like this one.

Wow, nice fish!!

Replica fish mounts are pretty amazing these days.  And actually often look better than the real thing.

I’ll be trying to break 22” for (9) days staring October 19.  I did get a 23.5” in Lake Erie, about 30 years ago, but released it, along with this 22.5” from the little Adirondack lake that my father in law still scolds me for releasing, back in 2014.

@mlamm24 and @Otto same one?

Maybe Wolcs 23.5" bass was based off the University of Pennsylvania Girth Chart and not the actual measured length???

Weight don’t matter, it’s all about the length.  The taxi can stuff as much foam in as you want, to make them look big.
