Description
This beautiful large mouth bass was caught by my wife several years ago in one of our nearby lakes here in eastern Ohio. This beast weighed in at 9 pounds 9 ounces and was promptly released back into the lake after weighing it. A bass this size is considered exceptional in Ohio. She wanted me to say it was a bigger bass than I ever caught. I can honestly say that song is REALLY gettin` old.

Magnificent fish. Magnificent painting. Your wife rocks! THIS is a fish tale...who holds the record for real? (Depends on who I talk to?)
Dave Farrow replied:
Kay, I have to admit, the biggest I ever caught weighed 7 pounds so her 9 pounder holds the record (sigh) she says girls rock (sigh again)

This is doing wonderfully in the contest for fishing.... we need a companion piece, here, Dave. You cant do such a wonderful fish painting without making a companion work... : )) Don't you love how others suggest your painting schedule.

Dave, this one really caught my eye.... Reminds me of days gone by fishing with my Dad. Wonderful memories and a wonderful work. Gorgeous colors! l/f

This image brings back such a wonderful memory at Lake Guntersville in North Alabama. A male friend and I went fishing, found a place a good ways away from the people. We caught a good ice chest full of catfish, but my first bite was a small-mouth bass and he was a good size. My friend thought he was going to get the first catch, but instead caught a snapping turtle LOL. Awesome, love the colors you've chosen and the action.
Dave Farrow replied:
Maria thank you for such a wonderful comment and story. I`ve heard of Guntersville. It`s well known for it`s fishing

This must be "the BIG ONE" that my Dad always said "got away"!! Great painting, Dave. Becoming a Favorite for me! (And thanks for becoming a follower. I really appreciate it.)

Joan my dear, this was my wife`s bass. we released it after weighing it...9 pounds 9 ounces

Another great piece by Dave! Apparently this beauty was meant to be memorialized in oil and acrylic, but not eaten. Wonderful work!

Wonderful Sportsman Artwork, Dave, or should I say "Sports-Woman". LOL… I enjoyed reading your description… One of my young granddaughters caught an 8-pound bass this past summer. She was at her dad's company picnic in Wisconsin when she hooked her catch. It was also returned to the lake. L&F
