Guntersville Giant

A young man that used to fish in a club I was in with his Dad, caught a 13 lb 7 oz giant on Guntersville yesterday. I don't have pics but it is easily found on Facebook. His name is Tyler Mahaffey. It is the 6th largest bass to come out of Guntersville. He had it weighed, then took it back and released it where he caught it. It missed the lake record by about a pound. His dad could catch a bass in a parking lot, however Tyler would often out fish his Dad. This is not a fluke with him. His whole family has fished the lake for many many years and they have caught multiple fish over 10 lbs.

still hate that place.lol
but congrats to him

This one?

Heck yea, congrats to him! Could someone post a picture for us that don’t use Facebook?

Not surprising. The big pre-spawn females are all loaded with eggs right now and with the mild fall/winter and current water temp moving into the 50's, they are in great shape physically and feeding up before the spawn. Congrats to the guy, any "teen" fish is a 1 in a million fish.

Wow, bucket mouth!

Yes, that is it!!! Thanks for posting the pic.

High fence!

He wanted to release it right away, but his dad and uncle talked him into getting it weighed.

Corn

Hello of a fish? They fishing out of an Allison?

We will never believe this unless you show the bait it was caught on.

Dang crappie eating bastage...he shoulda thrown it on the river bank with the rest of the trash fish

Nice

Im glad he released it. Thats pretty classy thing to do.

Kudo's, I regret killing my 13.4. In 73 we had no livewell or cameras avilable.

I bet he was fishing over corn......or drug the fish to where he had been feeding them corn.......

Nice one.

I talked to him today.
Classy young man.
Swimbait.
I believe the boat is a Triton TR21.

Should have stabbed it with something. That way it dont tangle all my rods when I'm spider rigging. I caught a 5lb spot Sunday and he wrecked my setup bad.

I'm so proud of you two. LOL

😂😂😂 they just as bad as a damn white bass

No freaking kidding. I was out all day yesterday. Went to the lake with 10 dz minnows left with none. I'd get in a school of white bass and would catch 10 before I could get out of it. I started to mash em against the side of the boat lol. But I didnt.

Easy now, you talkin bout white or yellow bass? I like me some white bass, they fight hard and don't eat crappie.

LOL...you know punted that sucker back in the lake, admit it

And those shitass smallmouth suck. Stab all of em y’all can please

Naw, he had one of those high tech fish callers.



j/k

As much as I wanted to put the filet knife to him fow what he done, I didn't. I snapped a pic and turned it loose. Then rerigged.

them white bass are fine to eat bowtartist

I dont care much for em. I'm real prejudice over a crappy.

You gonna kiss yo mama with that mouth??? Stop talking filthy like that!!

My username on another site used to be "710brownfish" (caught a 7-10 smallmouth on Pickwick). And to pat myself on the back, we released her and got a replica done.
If I could catch smallmouth within a short drive of my house, I'd seldom fish for green bass again.

Theres atleast one fish in the river that would make you forget all about eating crappie.

You're right, them sauger are hands down the best eating.

^^^^👍🏻

A friend had a 10-11# bass weighed in at wedowee last Saturday, he had a 23.5 bag & half his bag was 1 fish.

Probably caught it over corn. Hence the reason for the Facebook pic. Nice fish!

Ol Birdcarver woulda nailed that 13-7 to a fence and filleted it.

There are lots of swimbaits and jig heads on the market. Can you be more specific?

Damn ol trash fish...

Nice one

Goodness that’s a toad

Zoom swim bait in blue herring. Don't know about the jig head.
