Fished Lake Perris this weekend with my Dad, and we both caught a personal best. I caught two, a solid 10.4 lb. and 10.1 lb. Largemouth Bass.

However, my Dad landed a monster 13.3 lb. Bass!

It was an epic day of fishing. I will never forget it, specifically because I was with my Dad. Enjoy the pics!

God those are nice bass! How cool is that, that you were fishing with your father and you got to see him catch a fish like that! And you got two! Really nice photos too.. worthy to be framed and hung on the den wall!

Good job guys. We were fishing next to you for awhile. You guys really need to get your scales checked though.

Yes, we will be doing that for sure. My Dad has a nice 10 lb. Bass on the wall that he caught a long time ago at Vail Lake. Now he caught a bigger one with me, and below his fish will hang photos from this trip. Man, what an epic fishing trip; such an amazing time on the water!


Oh and by the way regarding the "scale controversy" that is going on in the forums (which is ridiculous), the "SCALE" never lies. =)

They didnt catch any of those while we were fishing there, or I wouldve lent them my scale. My scale isnt certified but I did strap a 10 lb dumbell to it and it read 10.01 which isnt perfect but it is close. So dont try to come on here and get all chesty with me and stir crap up when all you guys just bashed Tagg for his fish.

:Soap Box: I have nothing but respect for those that fish Lake Perris and post on here but with all the drama I don't post my catches on here any longer. I acknowledge those that did well and PM those that I know are the true sportsmen. I know what I caught and don't need to have others question my catches. I totally believe what the last two posts have to say about their catches and the scales that they use. This is not tournament fishing so relax and enjoy the pictures and stories others have to share....... :My Two Cents:
Once again to Tagg,Rapala17, and others congratulations on the fish that you caught and the experiences that you are willing to share with us.:Thumbs Up:

Some guys invest an unmeasurable amount of time on the water for a double digit, but you got TWO in one day! Congrats to both you and your dad on the stellar double digit pig 'olas!

Time to stop the insanity, don't understand and will never understand why there is a need to question the weight. What does it gain you? If there was a slight exagertation in any post does it matter unless it's record? All these fish being caught are toads so a few ounces here or there should mean nothing!

Don't get it, never will.....
