Summertime is just the best!
Lord Bumpus is happy this morning β¦
You Florida boys might not be too impressed, but for West Virginia β¦ 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"

Now Iβll never know for sure β¦ but in my heart I know damn well this one was at least that. (at the time I thought 20β maybe pushing 21β)
Iβm ****ing sick to my stomach
I donβt eat bass β¦ too much fun to catch.Should have brought him home with you
Can't you eat the fish from where you catch them ?
