Quade's well-received post got me wondering what everyone's personal best bass is?
My best is an 11-pound, 9-ounce hog that I caught on a topwater plug in 1975. My personal best on fly weighed 6.5 pounds and was caught in The Everglades.
What's your biggest bass

Nothing that big, but last summer, I caught a 6.5 lb, 22" largemouth on a purple X-rap. It was a heck of a fight, and luckily I was in a canoe with my buddy so I got pics and everything. Pulled us halfway across the small river we were fishing!
Biggest ever was a farm pond largemouth that was 5-1/2 to 6 pounds on a Hula Popper. Biggest on a fly rod was a 3 pound or so fish on a beadhead leech.
Caught a 2-1/2 pound fish a couple weeks ago on an all black size 12 FEB hopper. That's the biggest fish on a small fly for me so far.
6 pound 13 ounce smallmouth on 1/8oz leadhead and watermelon colored 3 inch grub many years ago.
19" smallmouth on a leech pattern with fly rod this year. (weight unknown)

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
my largest ever was a 11.5 on a hand line with a cricket on a hook. back in my scouting days
11.13 lm, 8.3 sm.
