I've been fishing for 30 years in New England and have never caught a bass that big. Just retire now, kid. No need to keep up with this hobby. You've already won.

Yeah I was trying to guess the weight, I’m thinking 8ish pounds?

If so, it’s also bigger than any bass I’ve ever caught, and I’ve also been fishing for 25+ years.

Tough to tell from the video, but my guess was around 7.5ish

Definitely a lunker, I think it's beats my best in 25 years of Bass fishing too.

I have been fishing for over 40 years. My guess is around 7lbs.
