um that is impressive for a 13 1/2" LM Bass

I have been wondering what the record for the yellow bullhead was. I released a yellow bullhead that was 17.5" last year on Osakis. I didn't realize how close I might have been.

5lb black crappie is amazing! I held a 3.5lb crappie and couldn't believe how retardedly big it was. The 2lb13oz gill would floor me as well to see one in person! Didn't that bass record get replaced a year or so ago? That rock bass record is beatable!

Posted

No doubt about the rock bass record.Probably 20 years ago my dad and my son were fishing on lake lizzie by pelican rapids.We hooked into a rock bass that we thought was all of 2.5 to 3#.I said boy is that a big rocker and threw it back.Later that year I saw the record size and said darn or something like that. frown.gif

Posted

We released a 19 1/2" mooneye on the Miss last summer. If I had known the record was under 2lb, I likely would have brought it to a scale-it had some shoulders!

Posted

Ya, I have also caught several rockbass that I am pretty sure were over 2 pounds. I guess no one wants to be known as the guy with the state record rockbass.

What the heck is a mooneye?

I looked at the DNR website, no real info....

Posted

13.5" weighting 8 pounds.. must be a fatty wink.gif.. here is the current record for the largemouth bass..

Bass, Largemouth 8-15(weight) 23.5(length) / 18(girth) Auburn Lake Carver 10/05/2005

A mooneye is a skinny fish that is a very shiney silver. It has big eyes like a crappie. Very sharp teeth too. I have heard them called skip-jacks also.

Anyone else find it pretty funny that the "beautiful" lakes around Alexandria are the home to three state records? Those three are: brown bullhead, yellow bullhead and dogfish! smile.gif

      My son got paid back for a good deed he did several years ago. He found a couple of expensive items at a boat ramp and called me asking what he should do.   I told him to bring them home because I was afraid if someone else found them, they might keep them. It was winter and nobody was around. This was when Facebook wasn't really popular yet, I was on several sites like this. First thing we did was make a big sign and posted it at the boat launch, then I posted it on all the forums I was on. Long story short, we never found the owner, but we sure tried. I know to this day, if either one of us found something, we'd do our best to get it back to the rightful owner.

      Yes, for sure.     A few years back, and unbeknownst to me, a piece of trim came off my sled while traveling over the lake.  A fellow sledder and complete stranger found the piece and followed my tracks all the way back to my cabin to return the lost item.  Couldn't thank him enough.  His kindness will never be forgotten and is something to which I aspire.

      I'll bet your son and his buddies did the happy dance!!!  
    • smurfy
      Sweet!!👍 there are still good people out there!
    • CigarGuy
      We got the auger back! The person who found it didn't want me to mention his name, we can't thank him enough! Still good, honest people around. He called Spring Bay Resort and asked if they heard of anyone losing an auger and they sent him a screenshot of my post. So, thanks to Dayis and Steve at Spring Bay Resort for that! Thanks again everyone for getting the auger back to us!

      Hope your well on the way back to feeling bett5 bud!👍 Been able to avoid all the bugs going around so far

      Who’s been out? I got hit with the flu and am still recovering. 
    • CigarGuy
      That's what they're going to do. I always read these posts and wondered how people could lose or forget stuff, well it happens!
    • Wanderer
      Dang….  I know it’s your son, so kinda different, but I’d be expecting a replacement from those who lost it.  The group could each put in and wouldn’t hit one or another too bad.   But that’s just an old man’s thoughts….💭    Good luck.
    • CigarGuy
      So my son and buddies were out this morning fishing between Wakemup and H.O.L. Bays (probably between Metza's pt and Schmidt Island), so they had to cross the snowmobile trail to The Landing. Well,  MY Strikemaster 24 volt auger fell off the back of my sled.  They didn't realize it until they got back. If anyone found it, would be nice to get back...please and thank you. Good news is they had the battery in their pocket..... Dip $hits😡
