Good, Big, Giant

[Champ 2001]

Here at Clearlake 2 pounders are Rats. Need 5 lb average to play. Took 59+ to win the 2 day last weekend

I consider a 4lber a good fish at Clear Lake and the Delta. 5+ better and 6 to 8lbers great fish. Go to a reservoir a 2lber may be great?

I agree with the 2, 4, 6 around the midwest area, now down south they may not think so especially Texas where everything is bigger.

Around here a good fish is anything over 3 and giant is anything over 6. I did catch a 6.90 and a 7.90 in last Saturday's tournament but that isn't normal for me.

Here in PA is would say that

Good One - 2 lbs.
Big One - 3 lbs.
Giant One - 5 lbs.

Watching a rerun of a fishing show and got to thinking after listening to them. When you’re fishing, what is your definition of a good one, big one and a giant when you set the hook and reeling it in? It’ll be different for everyone depending on tournament or fun fishing and region of country. For me it’s

Good one = over 2
Big one = over 4
Giant = over 6

Same here!

[Mark Perry]

Good one = over 3
Big one = over 5
Giant = over 8

[twitch]

Good 2 to 4
Big 4 to 6
Giant 6.8 to 8

On Erie:

Just 15” - Excellent eater

2lbs - Good eater

4lbs - Good smoker

6lbs - Throw it back

8lbs - Throw it back

10lbs+ - Might place in the top 10 for the tournament

[Big Bass Man]

Good one = 5lbs

Big one = 8lbs

Giant one = 10lbs +

By local16 Here in cent4al Illinois, I’d say a keeper 14 inch was a good one, a big one would be 3-4 and a giant would be over 5

Same here. Some years I get one 5-pounder. And darned glad to get it.

Sounds like fishing in IL and OH is a lot like fishing in NE so .. . . this ^^^^^

Relative to where you live... Where I grew up:

2 - 3 lbs, good'un
3 - 5 lbs, big'un
Over 5, PIG!
Over 8, wall hanger.

Asked my fishing partner, she said 6,8, and 10.

Does she know about shrinkage?

[haftafish22]

4/6/8 for me….

[foulhook3]

Here in Indiana we just say 'fish' as getting a bite alone is often cause for great celebration

[santee bass]

Lived and fished in Florida for 49 years - Dink - anything less than 2 pounds
Good one- 4-6 pounds
Big one - 7-8 pounds
Giant - 9 pounds plus

I agree with the above if applied to the Santee Cooper Lakes in S.C.

[wtf]

Good one = over 3
Big one = over 5
Giant = over 8
