Sometimes you catch the same little ass catfish twice in the span of 11 minutes - just from different baits. (2nd catch even had the mark/blood in the corner of its mouth from where the 1st catch was hooked)

Then, you get this **** happening …

 
Lord Bumpus is happy this morning …



You Florida boys might not be too impressed, but for West Virginia … This is a ****in stud!

I may vomit.


That bass this morning WAS NOT a Largemouth. It was a Spotted Bass.

It's BY FAR my personal best spotted bass.

That's not the problem.


It weighed 3.5lbs. but I didn't measure its length.

The WV State Record for Spotted Bass isn't something that was even remotely on my radar because I see so few of them up here in the northern panhandle.

It ain't the weight that has me sick to my stomach.

WV State Record for length on a Spotted Bass is 19"

Nineteen inches.

Now I’ll never know for sure … but in my heart I know damn well this one was at least that. (at the time I thought 20” maybe pushing 21”)


I’m ****ing sick to my stomach

Should have brought him home with you

Can't you eat the fish from where you catch them ?

I don’t eat bass … too much fun to catch.

Knowing then what I know now, I’d have still aimed to release it - BUT I’d have called the game warden first to officially verify my new State Record!!! (provided it actually was)
