I am stoked to have stumbled over this single clip and I want your honest opinion down below! Same fish or different fish?! I’m going with same fish, and I think it’s awesome where it showed up the second time.
Hope to see you guys Saturday at Anglers Choice in Spindale for their open house!

That is unreal. Been trying to make 1 tournament on the occoquan for the past couple of years and hoping to finally make it happen in 24’. Really makes you wonder about how far those fish travel on Chick River.
Without a doubt that split would not be identical
Def same fish
That’s rad dude.
Fish seem to pick certain trees, stumps, etc. that they call home. If you watch some of the old bassmaster shows they would catch and tag fish then monitor them during a 3 or 4 week period. Often times the bigger ones would stay on one tree or alternate between 2 spots. Pretty cool stuff.
Looks the same to me, not hard to believe it swam back, 4 miles ain't nothing, that fish is a champion!
Think the trailer your talking about is the 10,000 fish yoto worm, also to add I think it’s definitely the same fish. Lateral lines and anal fin matched to well
Insane 😮
Same fish for sure
100% same fish! I see even more identifying marks than just what you pointed out. That's awesome I've seen this so many times now it's really making me wonder 🤔 I've also seen the same fish fluctuate in weight up and down after being caught several times
Great job! An amazing catch! Thanks for sharing!
Glad to see that fish founds its way home. Congrats and thanks for showing us.
This is awesome. I believe that the majority of fish generally just stay in the area that they're released. However, I am fairly convinced you are correct that this is the same fish. I was really hoping she would still be big enough for you to get the official lake record status since I know you prioritized preserving the fish (thank you) over getting the lake record.
What a great one! Thank you! 👍
Bigger fish 🐟 to come thank you both
So cool! Maybe she’ll break 10 if she gets caught again this spring
This happened to me 20 years ago three Saturday's in a row off t the same corner of a submerged bridge in Oklahoma I caught a 3 1/2 # fish on the same spinner bait. It had large black spot on its head above it's eye.
That's insane! Definitely same fish!
<grin> I honestly believe you've got Dorothy there … Why? Cause "There's no place like home!" You already know — you and Ace both!!! That release and only 4mi … That "homing sense"… yep — Dorothy lives! My, selling that luxury cruiser — It's been good to ya! And thanks to @Angler's Choice and the pairing … think it has truly served yalls both well, not leaving out King Neptune either!!! Changes & Growth ……… and it's been so good for all of us. Enjoy the Open-House, hope even more success with that. Have fun on the trip and most of all, Enjoy and Make Memories!!!! Be Safe
My first 50in musky came from nw wi and I was the 3rd person to catch her. She was caught June 3 years in a row the first two times were in the same area on the north end of the lake, I got her last and she was a couple miles distance away in the southern end of the main lake. She has a giant birth mark brown spot on her left side super identifiable. That's the same bass btw, it's pretty damn clear that slice in the fin is a one in a million thing
Nice
I’ve seen that happen locally and the fish lost a lb
The fact that it’s in the same spot is another piece of evidence that it’s the same fish. Great work Matt!
My son and I have gone fishing at a local lake during the month of May over the past 3 years. Each year we have caught the same female along a set of stumps on the same bait — she is a sucker for a Yamamoto Shad Shaped Worm……. My son has caught her 3 times and I have caught her once. We have pictures that show her distinct worn out tail with a section missing. Over the years she has maybe gotten 2 pounds heavier.
What's up brother me and my wife a big fan how much you selling it for very interested like that boat a lot
They could be different fish but if the fish got a bit longer that could explain why markings aren’t exact the tail fin however looks slightly different that shouldn’t have changed at all the 9.85 fish from 22 would probably have been exactly 10LBS in June cause older bigger would’ve grown somewhere between 1/4-maybe 3/4in at max younger fish usually grow 1/2 to 1in a year sometimes 1.5in from what hatchery workers have told me completely depends on it’s diet but 10LBS fish and late June to keep is after spawn so 10% is 1Lbs and 15% is 1.5Lbs so if same fish after spawn anywhere from 8.5-9Lbs is in correct range it could be sibling too seeing as markings are so similar and would be at around the same size but awesome fish
100% the same
This just goes to show that bass in general, during the prespawn/spawn, like to return to the same areas.
I’ve caught the same fish many times, and when I release them, straight back to the bed they go!
Of course, I’m not fishing any big lakes, but I’m sure those fish know where to go…😂😂😂❤❤❤
Same fish absolutely.
Dude, I happen to have several high quality HP Book laptops. I am happy to donate one to your cause if you want it.
Same fish for sure
occoquan reservoir has a always big fish who's going to get lucky to get some of those big ones
Looks to me like it's the same dang fish. Amazing!
Absolutely the same fish and to add to your comment on a bass’s genetic code I couldn’t agree more. I fished a tournament on the lower Potomac River out of Smallwood State Park where I weighed in a bass that I caught in DC water. Anybody who fishes the Potomac which I know you do can relate to that distance. I caught that same fish 2 months later in the exact location. Very distinct black pigment marks on its side and tail. Mind blown. Very cool video…Thanks for sharing 👍
Definitely the same fish. I fished a small city park pond in lower Delaware all throughout high school and caught the same bass 5 different times across 3 years. When I fish caught her she was 22” and a little over 6 and J recently caught her this June and she’s grown an inch and almost a pound. This fish had a super telltale mark, a flat fork on her tail. Super cool that you caught that fish twice in a fishery of that size.
Tails are rhe same. Same fish.
