Couple more pics

The mearsurements, and the bucketmouth 

I let her go after the pic. Had to use a rope until I could get a photo and a tape on her....

Nice shots.  Now I know why they're called "large" mouth 

A good sized net works well as a temporary live-well while I set up my camera and such.  Most of the larger bass I've caught don't thrash around the net if I move quietly and don't rock the yak.

Thanks for the C&R.

Hawg heaven for sure!

Is that Dons tape? Nice fish jonesz. The big largemouths are sure beautiful fish. Very nice pics also. Thanks.

Nice Hawg Jonesz!!!!

 Got to get out there soon....

 

Is that Dons tape?

 I know you as a Honorable Man Jonesz.... 

But these AOTY guys can be a bit, ah.. well...

  "Finicky" about measurements.... ...

I try to keep my crap to a minimum, but I still always end up with a ton of crap  HB your idea of a net just gave me an idea. Maybe I'll bring my goody bag from diving. It's compact enough to pack away easily. I like to keep a low profile, so things don't hang up when go into tight spots. I've never used a net for bass. Just wouldn't seem right not grabbin' em by that big ol' lower lip 

Is that Dons tape?

Yeah man, save yourself a lot of grief and get a hawg trough.

The goody bag is a great idea.  I lip most of the bass I catch, except the big ones (why take chances?), or a fish a crankbait in its mouth, or stripers.

I have posted this before but if you want a net that doesn't take much room and is still big enough to do the job try making one like this.

Sweet Tote! I like that! Nuther project..

Dood, you rock Tote!
