Got a 24.5" top water bass this weekend...

Post by taylor5877 » Sun Oct 30, 2011 5:32 pm

Got her on a spook jr. Tpwd weight estimator puts her at 8.5-9 lbs. I didn't have a scale in my pack, so a length measurement is all I had. Not my biggest bass, but best on a top water. Horrible "fish picture" btw.

Got her from the bank out of Lake Conroe, TX in a community area in my neighborhood.

That's a big fish, pic does do justice IMO.

Congrads buddy, all my big fish seem to come on a topwater also...Skitter Pop to be exact.

Thanks for sharing.

Conroe is an awesome fishery! Glad to see fish are still big and being caught. Great job!
