We measured and the bass came in a little under 11 inches. he had crush marks where the 9 pounder had clamped him. I have never seen a bass fishing over 6 pounds and a 9 pounder would have been quite a trophy even for Scott. Neither Scott nor me have ever heard of a bass going after another bass that had been caught. I suspect Scott is going to go after this 9 pound white whale all summer.

Fishing, a Story of the Usual, then Magic then Heartbreak.
I went down to Atlanta to fish on Scott' lake. We were trolling for bass when he started to reel in this small bass. It was foul hooked a little and we saw it 30 feet behind the boat. 2 seconds later we were very confused. The fish surfaced again and it was HUGE! The 1 pound bass had turned into a 9 pound bass. Its head popped up one more time about 12 feet from the boat and we could just see a tail of the original bass poking out of the monster's mouth. With no hooks in it the 9 pounder had had enough and let go. Scott reeled in the fish and below here it is.

This post was quite the emotional roller coaster.
It's pretty common in ocean fishing for your catch to turn into bait for a bigger catch mid-catch (Ling Cod are notorious for becoming your well-fed catch), but I've never heard of it with any river fish. That's wild.
yep, i have heard similar with northern and muskie for freshwater, but me niether.
