Same colors I use during the day senko black with blue flake, June bug

I need to be in my Zen next time I go after BOTH them thangs next time lol and focus

Lou I use to use my scale religiously before this competition, now the tape measure took its place. Anything I felt was close to 3lbs was on the scale. My scale is always in my bag but will be dusted off when I get my new PB

Lol yes I did pass up grown up activities. I'm not really a drinker but I might have to start I still can not get that image out of my head

Most of the ponds/lakes I fish are generally shallow since I'm a bank fisherman. I would probably say deepest I caught a fish was maybe between 10 and 14 feet maybe

Yea not as much as those who don't have a license and get caught and have to pay that hefty fine that some states impose.

This fish could ruin my relationship with my girl. She was so sick of hearing about it and knowing that I was thinking about it. She wanted to do some "grown up activities" before bed but she knew I couldn't stop thinking about it so she got ticked and slept in the other room. This will haunt me for god knows how long man. I planned on going fishing this morning got up at 4:30 after going to sleep at 3:15, I sat there dwelling on the fish and lost all motivation to go out lol.

That could possibly be it, I'm not sure cuz Czar showed me the spot. But fish of a lifetime in there check, fish catching air check, and big gator check (there are signs but we didn't see any) so this could be the pond once you are out of the development the 295 exit is like right there. I am going back there tonight around 6:30 or 7 til dark again see what happens this time

That's a nice fish how much you think it weighed?

Yea it's right off gate parkway In this apartment complex. It looks like bass heaven and not to mention that 10 to 13 pounder swimming around in there. The ponds big enough for multiple to reside there this is my new spot!If you ever have some free time shoot me a PM and fish it with us. I want to see that fish again and get my swim bait back so more people fishing it with me the better the chance one of us gets the once in a life time bass

Nice smallies!

Nice smallies!

I need to vent hit up a couple spots with bass czar with no luck. We get to the last spot and I'm frustrated that none of us caught anything not even a strike. I'm using a storm swimming shad cast it way out by these Lilly pads, there were patches of them through out the pond, I will get to that later! I'm reeling and then I feel my line completely stop, so I think I'm hung up on the pads. Then I feel it run right and realize its a fish. Czar looks over and the beast jumps straight out the water cleared atleast 2 feet. He thought I was still using my frog and the fish just hit it. Now back to the fish. EASILY bigger than anything ever posted in our competitions and bigger than a majority of the fish people post in the fishing report section! Would have put me way into the double digit club. So I reel it in and it gets caught up in a patch of Lilly pads!!!! Czar tells me to let slack out so it could run but it was too late. I let the slack out waited reeled felt it still on and then snap! Atleast I had someone with me this time when the monster got off. It will haunt me until I break into the double digit club. Me and Camzar were saying that I would have rather not seen the fish and have it get snagged and lose it than to actually see the fish of a life time and then lose it about 10 yards or so from shore. I will be at that pond every single weekend now until I get it again!

Shout out to the photographer

Yea man if I'm out and it starts to rain I will stay fishing. Once I hear thunder I get in my car and leave, no fish not even a double digit or state record is worth the risk of my life. Especially when you have other people to live for ie my wife and son

They can ask you for it that's why they tell you to keep your fishing license on you at all times. I have had a license my whole life and I have NEVER been asked for it. Waste of money but the one year I don't get one will be the time I get fined for not having it and fishing

Dusk for me is when I get my bigger ones, especially when I throw on that top water Ribbit frog.

Nice monster fish as usual Big-O

If you bring our boat I know some killer spots we could hit if I had a boat. Thing is the fish you guys catch in south FL are a lot fatter than the ones up here.

These tourneys need to be every month it makes fishing that much more fun and enjoyable

KVD 1.5, 3-6ft are my favorite ones to use. I wasn't a fan of the crank bait u til a week or so ago.

I went out today at my golf course spot. All I was throwing was a KVD crank bait shallow 2-5' and I pulled in 6 there including 3 nice ones smallies was 18.5". Then I hit up my other spot and caught 4 small ones in 45 mins then it started to rain. The bite was on here in Jacksonville

Lol isn't there always a 50/50 chance the fish will be active or not

It depends if the rain is cold or warm if the fish will be active or not.

Very fat fish nice
