A bass that size is VERY old. Been avoiding nets and trawlers all its life. Almost certainly a female. It will live to breed again and almost certainly not be caught again. All big bass should be returned without question! :-)

A magnificent fish! Never caught one that big (a bass) What the viewer doesn't get is your heart pounding in your chest with the fear of it getting off! I had this when I caught my 27lb cod on the Pier at Newhaven.I like the way it conveys the time and effort it takes to subdue a fish of this size. It always looks better when someone else films it, you have quite enough to think about fighting the fish!

They fight so well and I’ll never forget the speed it stripped line off the reel. Mine was also 11lb 8oz and it was returned too.
