Nothing like fishing!

I'll say! Very impressive!

Is all the topography blocked out because you do not want us to know where you are fishing? Those are some great looking fish. Now I wonder if I should share info here if others are going to hide things like fishing locations, but it is a free country.
P.S. no disrespect intended

Nice piggies. I have been meaning to go to Whatcom, but never got around to it this year. Terrell is a beast of a lake.

Wow! Congrats Tag, wonderful catches. Most impressive is the 11.75 northern strain! Maybe you can get on the forums and share what techniques work that far north. It would be nice to have your regional experience on this site.

Thanks, guys. Awesome gallery by the way, Don! Incredible fish!

Hey Urban,

I'm brand new to this forum. Just signed up this evening. I'd be happy to share the techniques that work well for me up north. Look forward to talking bass fishing with you guys!

Glad you found this site Tag. Seems the site doesnt get much influence from places like Washington, and I for one would enjoy hearing about your adventures!

where is the 11.75 largie? I must have missed that one! that would be just a few ounces shy of the record.

man do I miss Black Lake largies and Lake Washington Smallies! you've been puttin' in some work on them smallies son!

Hey Deep,

The 11-3/4 lb. largemouth I caught last fall would have been a new WDFW state record but I decided to release the fish, rather than harvest it for record consideration. It is illegal to transport live gamefish in the state of Washington and there was no certified scale at the lake. Unfortunatley, harvesting a fish is the only way to get an official record in Washington. That wasn't an option for me.

Both digital scales I used to weigh the fish (X-Tools and Berkley) weighed the fish at 11-1/2 pounds (11 lbs. 8 oz. and 11.5 pounds). The IGFA tested both digital scales and determined they were both weighing over a 1/4 pound light (5 oz. and .3 lb.) in that weight range.

You can check out the largemouth pic in the gallery. Did you used to fish Black and Washington?

Hook 'em hard,

Tag, seems you may be an ideal candidate for a Salter scale, then having it certified through your county Weights and Measures department (well, thats how it works in Cali anyway). If you would have had that done you would be the proud owner of the Washington state record largemouth. There are at least two people on this site, probably a whole bunch more, that have certified scales in the event a record fish is caught.
