I've noticed out west these bass are wimps (Az) gotta be over 65f. Where I'm from in northern Michigan we catch them almost as soon as I've melts and water into low 50s

Nice one!

Ya it ended up just staying cloudy. Tuesday it poured tho lol. Was waiting for the rain. Buddy didn't bring rain gearlol.

Found a spot within a spot the other day. Found a section of rock that ran about 20 yds and 5ft wide and when i could bring it the lenght of that i usually could get bit. Had 5-6 others crush the lipless but idk if they were swiping it or what. Ran a jig through there too and got 1 good hit. If i went off the edge and into the mud didnt get a nibble. pretty cool to find a spot like that. Buddy picked up 1 also. He is very new to bass. So tryin to show him the ropes. Pretty slow day. All good tho!

Love this thing! Keeps charged whole time too. So much better!

Kinda hard now that it went mainstream lol. Like i saud Richard bought the place so now he is promoting it hard. Which he should be it us a business. And he turned it around big time!

I thought it was xcalibur. Sad they sold to booyah love their baits!

Nice ones!

Dont gotta worry bout the poachers any more. Richard has game and fish on board, he has ran em off and I have been out there every Monday for the last 2 months almost pretty heavily and have heard maybe 2 gun shots and that was from the fields way to the east. haven't seen poachers in a year either. It is way better now. And ya its gotten blown up since Richard promoted it online. Which is his right since he is making a business out of it. they have a fb page and website and Instagram too I believe. so its gonna happen but Camping, events, music, pay to fish, etc. So its all good. I would rather have that than have to worry about taking a stray bullet out there. Or having my vehicle broken into or other worse things. hahahahaha for real A jay thats how it used to be!

Little bit of history on the hidden lake. Will add pics to post of my fish and some others. I have seen 45lb sacks outta this place so incredible. I started fishing these two lakes about 3.5 years ago now. Heard from a buddy that I met out here in Arizona about this lake that nobody catches fish smaller than 5lbs so of course I had to go. Back then mighta saw 2 other boats over a weekend if that. But I was told forget everything you know about bass when u come here. Everything looks so fishy but only 5-6 areas hold fish. Roughly 200 maybe a little more acres between the two lakes. What I showed up to was 2 old rock quarry that were abandoned and a small river flowing into them. We launch the boat and of course I'm like let's fish here let's fish there. Typical bass areas. Buddy told me no. We need to hit such and such areas. Boy was he right! First 5 minutes I had a 5.15lbr. I was hooked to this lake after that. Of course I tried other techniques like flipping the millionsof reeds and mats. Not a bite. Topwater same thing. Unheard of someone catching a topwater fish here. Literally the only baits that catch fish consistently is a deep crank, spinnerbait, lipless or a squarebill. Other than that I can think if prob 10 guys that refuse to use thise baits and fish the ONLY areas these fish hang out in and they have never caught a bass here. The bad is that when I started fishing here it was a high traffic area for drug dealings, shootings, robberies etc. I personally have been shot at out there and I could tell ya a hundred stories about others. Place was scary not gonna lie. Never seen anything like it for fishing or crimes. Buuuuuut a guy named Richard recently in the last year bought the property and has in turn turned the lake into an amazing "private" fishery. Cleaned up the trash, crack houses gated off the roads and now no gun shots, no criminals, no illegal netting by the hundreds of bass and cats or whatever , the bass fishing was starting to decline. But now the west lake is coming back already in the last year. Richard stocked 3k bass and they already have reached 15" and we are moving bass over from east lake to west lake. Because they will be mining and closing down east lake. Already 10+lbrs have been caught in west lake now and plenty of 5-8s. So there it is a very short if u can believe it history of the pit. The main bass forage are tilapia and shad. Its insane the water erupting with bait fish in the mornings once spring hits. Its no wonder these bass are so big. I added a few pics lol but I coulda added a ton more from the few guys that fished there with me. Ive heard stories from the old timers that have fished there 20 years ago and the stories are insane. But I'm happy that richard bought the place and turning into something nice! More boat traffic now since he went online with it and its promoted but its all good lol.

Nice. Thanks for sharing. What jerkbait is that?

Thanks man. Using the new aquastick for filming.

Went out and hit the secret lake about 3 weeks ago. Caught 2. Pretty cool mid sentence talking about what i was doing i got smoked lol. Actually smallest ive ever caught there. The guy that bought it stocked about 5,000 i believe he told me when he bought it last march. And already the fish are in the 15 inch range and little footballs. Pretty crazy how fast fish grow there. Bfore ive never caught a bass under 5lbs now we are catching 15 inchers good to see em growing so fast. Took a little drive around too just to show yall what it looks like. Didnt go over whole lake but a good bit. Thanks for watching!

Lol sounds goood

Nice!

Oh I plan on it Lol!

Thanks for watching! Hahaha I do on my deep divers but bought that on a whim the other day. And guess what at the end of the day one of my hooks was broke off! So ya hooks going bye bye.

haha thanks really appreciate it let me know what you think!

Thanks man! Just added the video if you wouldnt mind watching. Got all 3 on film this time lol.

Thanks this lake is incredible. Another boat there caught a 10.14 and 8lbr back to back casts. Only 3 boats on the water all day.

Went out yesterday to the hidden gem and caught my 4th bass over 8lbs. Best 3 fish went 8.4lbs, 6.11lbs and 5.1lbs. To hard to hold all 3 lol. 8lbr was caught in 2ft reeling lipless crank in a tilapia color along rocky bank. The other 2 were caught reeling super slow on bottom in 8ft. They were crsuhing it but were all hooked on outside of mouth. Had 4-5 others crush too but they didn't get the hooks. Will edit video later and post.

Ohh ok cool so it's a hosting site for bassresource issue. Thanks glenn!

Sometimes I have major issues uploading sometimes I can add 5 pics no issues. Currently trying to upload pics fromtodays epic Arizona adventure but it keeps saying they can't process my pictures and to contact us. First of all is us Glenn or any moderator and also why can't it process when it's way under the size guidelines thanks. Anyone else have this issue ever?
