As far as BIG bass go, (40+ in my opinion,) I landed one this season (43.5) and lost one this season that I estimate being a bit bigger... 50? I'd like to think so, but more likely a bass in the 40# class... Lost it along a rocky shoreline at low tide. This fish would not stop... just could not turn it... BUT I realised the second i lost it that it was mostly my fault. the line broke off on a rock, and yes, it was dead low boulders... but my error was that as soon as I hooked it and the fight just started, I was already moving away from the point/shelf i was on and started walking to where I planned on landing it WAY too early. so as it went out, and the further back I walked, the lower the line got to the rocks and I had no leverage... snap. I learned, believe me.
