Nice catch. I agree with the estimates given. I would say 3.5-maybe 4lb.

Thanks Shane J.

Good one Zoff!!

Big "O" no pics or stories lately I am starting to get concerned. LOL. Those shellcrackers look nice. Do you know is BPS is carrying them yet?

That's why I love topwater so much. You never know when the strike is coming. Cool Vid. Interesting camera angle mount.

Here's a good one. When I was kid my friend and I had slingshots. So we did what kids do with sling shots, we shot at objects and lizards. This one particular day we saw this nice lizard on a big oak tree so my friend and I got on opposite sides of the oak tree. We failed to notice that we both stood looking at each other with the lizard level to us, we took aim and you can figure out the rest... ouch. And yes we missed the lizard.

Done.

Cool thanks!!

20lb power pro braid with 10lb yozuri leader or depending on application no leader.

Scaleface what type of set is that with the swivel and the hook looped thru? Looks interesting.

RW, I live in a big bass state and yes they are a lot of big bass in Florida. I live relatively close to everglades and I am only able to go out once or twice a month tops. Although there are big bass to be had if I catch one awesome and if I don't oh well. However when you catch over 50+ bass in a day using top water hollow frog and the fish are avg 2- 3.5lb. I just can't put down my rod and say I am only going to focus on catching a big bass. In situations like those the big bass is one cast away. Sometimes she comes sometimes she doesn't.

We caught them using my go to bait. Watermelon seed french fry worm on 1/32 weight. Works every time.

Hope the second time worked.

Sorry pics did not come out. I will try again

I have been sidelined with severe fishermans elbow for while a now so I have not been able to go out fishing. However, it has not stopped me taking my kids out to the community park. My kids are 6 and 4 and my son has a 5ft bass pro combo reel and my daughter has a 3ft Disney Tinkerbell spincast combo. We caught 3 little bass yesterday and they had a blast. Today my goal is to get my son on some fish with his rod. Parents you know how that goes. Here are my some pics I apologize for the quality its my first time posting pics.

$400!!! I do just fine with my 7'4" heavy, St. Croix Rage.

Enjoy!! Give us your feedback

Hey, you are talking about my home court. Welcome to BR. I fish Amelia often. There is fish to be caught. They are not easy but they have size to them. My largest to date was 6-7lb range I friendly with the park staff and reports are some have caught 9lbs plus. is The whole park shore fishing, only thing is there is no fishing around the ski boat area, and when they do the remote control speed boats its a real pain. Avoid weekends. They charge a entry fee but its free during the week.

Catching dinks gives me hope that there is something bigger around vs fishing for hours at at a time with no signs of life. When top water fishing those 2lbs still get my juices flowing because sometimes you would have sworn that something bigger hit.

They do not call Florida and especially South Florida the fishing capital of the world for no reason. As far as hunting goes can't help you. I only hunt bass (and release of course). As far as Miami goes, I am born and raised here. Does it have its bad areas? Yes. But what city doesn't. Does it have its nice and pretty areas? Yes, plenty. As far as the people? We are a melting pot of many nationalities. Some more than others, however NYC? That's another melting pot of nationalities. Weather? Can't beat our winters. Summers are tough. Hurricanes? The potential is there. We have not had one (direct hit) for years. You are Coast Guard, they know our hurricane history. I am close to the Opa-Locka base. Hope my info helps. Good Luck. Be safe. Thanks for keeping us safe.

I have the same exact one as shown above and the dark green one with brown wings. I have had no luck yet with either. The weight is similar to the heaviest Kopper's frog. Keep you guys posted if catch anything on them.

Mark, I knew exactly what you were saying. I just used the "Quote" feature incorrectly. I do not want anything to get lost in translation. Although the OP is asking an innocent, and genuine question, this post can sometimes get a little heated. Your post speaking on LgMouth behalf brought some comic relief.

Sweet!!

From a boat or from the bank?

Wrong Quote. MarkHO24 and LGmouthgambler you guys always make me laugh. I am really suprised you guys contained yourselves. The post is still young though. LOL.
