If so, what do you consider a big one? I just started about two weeks ago and caught a five and a half pounder last night. I thought I was reeling in a whale. I know they get much, much larger but I can't imagine hooking a 15 pounder.

I fish more for trout and smallmouth, but I would say 7+ lbs for a really big largemouth, depending on where you are. Some of those lakes in Mexico are full of monsters.
A 5 lb-er is a significant fish though

15 pounder would be a wall hanger and one you would never forget...hard to find that guy in a pond with any kind of pressure...cause they dont have the chance to grow...much like a huge buck deer

7-8 lbs is a good bass, there are guys who fish regularly for years who never hook a 10+lb'er. I think the average size for an adult largemouth is around or less than 3 lbs.

Fyi, most trophy sized bass are taken at night, for whatever reason. Ive only ever taken 1 over 5 in broad daylight.

My largest is a 10 pounder caught in a nearby lake. And yea, I would say that 7 lb. is a large/trophy worthy largemouth bass.

The largest one I ever caught was just over 10 pounds. Have yet to go over seven since.

I grew up bass fishing in Alabama with dad. He has a 15lb 2oz MONSTER largemouth on the wall he caught on Lake Lanier in GA. Haven't had the time to go lately. I got to get back on the water.

5 LB is nice but get on the right lake or pond and it's not a big deal.
My standard is 8 LB. But I fish about 15 days of a year on a 400 acre private cypress pond a mile below the Ga state line in Hamilton Co. Florida. Biggest I have caught there in 20 years is 13lb but have caught dozens in the 8-10 range.
