Personal Best Sea Bass 7/3

Went out Sunday Morning. Fished 7:30am-9:30am for a quick trip. Caught my personal best Sea Bass in 60ft of Water on a 10oz Crippled Herring Jig tipped with squid strip. It was 24 inches and 5.25 lbs.

After I fileted him up for dinner I honored the Knucklehead with a quick head mount on a tree in my yard (wife made me take it down later in the afternoon something about flies, racoons, skunks and even beers coming to visit that night)

Congrat's

Wow that's a giant !! Congrats

Beautiful fish

Jay congrats,
make me feel better, as I got my personal best yesterday 22 1/2 inches (did not include tail fin filament (tendril)) Big block head with hump
thought for sure it was over 6 lbs.
end up going 5.26 at the club scale.
yours also looks much bigger than 5.25 lbs. big block heads give some fight.
I can only imagine what a 7-8 lbs. looks like.

Awesome!!

X's 2!!!!!!!! Did Alison teach you how to hold Black Sea Bass???

Let's be honest, without Alison's tutelage there is no way I catch this that includes using the 10oz silver jig that Bullwinkle was using when we all went on Friday. In my case it takes a village.

Gorgeous fish

Stunning colors on that fish.
Congrats!

Thanks everyone for the comments. I do appreciate it.

Good job grasshopper.

Wow! Captain's approval!

All I can say is WOW

Oh yes....the old Shoulder Mount. Some women just can't appreciate Art.
