My young nephew has been coming Bass fishing with me alot since he was five, at the end of September last when he was still only seven he caught this lovely 66cm one on our local marks, he's nearly as obsessed with fishing (and lures) as me now. Not a bad PB for a seven year old eh!

Edit, The Bass was caught on a white Basshunter lures Sinko and a kids 5-15g Mitchell rod.

One i had in October last from the same mark, it was 62-63cms, very lean fish, it had damage to it's gillplate and some kind of growth was appearing, it also had a thick long type of brown fur on the injury, it was very similar to the slippery brown type of weed that grows on the rocks. I have seen injuries on fish plenty of times over the years but this looked shook!

This one from Dorset came so close to the 60cm, made up for the bigger one I lost earlier just as I was going to beach it

,,

Ahhhhhhh boat,,,,,,, lol....
We bought a boat, got 9 doubles in 8 months to destroy a myth, that it's just as hard from a boat....... Old news, but amazing pictures, and fishing,,, JUST offshore as you say..... Malc got one, Dave got one,,, Joe got 3, I got 4.... (two over 13 pound)

But respect Plaicehunter,, 66cm,, nice fish,,,
But by the end of this year,, you have to thoroughly destroy us shore anglers lol....

I will end up with a boat, for lure angling,, when knees are gone,,,
But will have to post boat section, as its just not fair for my good mates shore anglers to see....
It's totally UNREAL , to me,, the size of bass 3 to 5 times out of casting range,,
I guess it's why a good onshore blow,, give lure anglers a chance,, (all be it a small window of opportunity,) to nail one of these magnificent creatures..

I think the sea is far more affluent, out of casting range,, more bait,,, bigger bait,,
More flow,,, more depth,,,, etc etc etc....

In fairness
1) I'm 74 in August
2) This fish was casting distance from the shore
3)With luck it's still out there, since all my bass go back

But I must admit my boat does enable me to access marks which are hard to reach from the shore! PH

Thanks, Mark! Not Oil of Ulay - lucky genes. My dad was still golfing at 92, mother lived to 97 and her sister to 102!
