My first PB bass

[Longtom Bass]

Caught her next to the stump with a jig. 2,8kg. this was @ Vasfontein. A very windy and chilly day. First of many.:fishn

 

[Van De Jager]

Nice fish, been there many, many times but still no luck. 

 

[Longtom Bass]

Thanks! Caught this one between the two dams by the tree and the stump in the water.
:fishn

 

[Blommie]

Nice fooshie bru! Big one to start with. Nou's jy gehook!

 

[Longtom Bass]

Thanks, yip and it feels great!:fishn

 

[Billaridoo]

Very good catch Longtom!
When you land your first PB size fish, everything changes. Thank you for celebrating it with your fellow Sealiners.

No matter how many times you upgrade your PB, the first one will always be the best!

I see you are from Centurion.Try fishing Bronkies ASAP! Silly season there. Plenty beeeeg fooshies in the shallows and you can catch them with anything, any size, any colour. They are in pre spawn @ the dam and chomping anything that moves.

Thanks Billaridoo, i would love to go to bronkies, but my boat is not ready for it yet. I need to do the COF and also get my skippers. So with all the new LAW at the dams, i'am a bit out of luck at this stage.

Congratulations on your fish man:first!Its very nice and I don't want to be a chop but where is your scale man? That fish is only about 900g maybe a kilo:fst:. Its beautiful and may you catch many many more though.

 

[Longtom Bass]

Hi Coffee, i've caught many bass between 200g - 1,2kg and beleive me! This one is 2.8kg. The one that took the pics caught 2 x 1kg. SO, that's your opinion and that's ok!

 

[frozensoulfly]

Well Done!! 2.8 kg is a great PB.

 

It also looked a little on the small side to me but we werent there so we cant say anything

 

Perhaps your female was full eggs, getting ready to spawn. I think this might make them abit heavier

 

Here's a pic of an almost 3kg at mteri

Congrats again

 

 

[bass mal]

Great man! A very nice bass. Using a phone to take pics can be misleading! Still congrats on the nice PB!

 

[Coffee]

Hey Frozensoulfly now there's a 2.8kg bass Sorry Longtom I remain unconvinced and deception is not in the lens of the camera but in the words of the fisherman and I'm afraid pictures don't lie. Unless you are 7ft tall and have big hands or that fish is about a kilo. Or its the bass that lays the golden eggs...vvidevb

 

[bass mal]

You hit it on the nail Coffee as i'm 6f7 and have big hands. She looks smaller that some of the other is have seen.

 

[VaalieBassman]

Coffee I agree, fish is about a kilo

 

[Coffee]

Thanks Vaalie. Like I said, I think the fish is awesome and I'm glad people have a passion for fishing, bass fishing in particular. But fisherman who have a passion for Fairy-tales and not fishing? :fst: Eish you missed the point of going fishing. Nice fish man I really mean it. Its a joy getting to play in God's kingdom. Don't moer me with those big hands please I'm 5'6 and you'll capsize me:breakd: but like I said to claim it, weigh it...

 

[Bigmouth]

Baie geluk met die PB, ek moet ongelukkig saam stem dat daai bass heelwat ligter as 2.8kg is.

Ek is ook 6'7'' en het ook 'n paar groot kloue aan my en meeste van die tyd laat ek ook my vir kleiner lyk as wat hulle is maar daai vir het nie genoeg body om 2.8 te kan weeg nie. Vergelyk hom met hierdie 2.48kg dan sal jy sien wat ons bedoel.
