My last one of the day....

Not one of the greatest days but atleast im on the board! Sorry about the small print on my measuring tape, only one i had. Fish 1- 17.5" Fish 2- 17" Fish 3- 17" total= 3 fish for 51.5" so far!

Yup turnpike it is! They are definitely there. That pond in particular comes right out of tradewinds park. They are huge there too. That one my friend caught is considered small for the ones I catch there. That upclose one i caught was a 6 pounder.

The last 2 bass I actually caught on gambler swim baits but the big bass and snakehead both caught on that kvd frog. Any guess as to the weight of the big bass?

.

I haven't fished in about a month but been dying to go out. Went with a buddy of mine and my girlfriend and the bite was on! Im an idiot and forgot to bring my tape measurer for the florida bragging rights tourney. Ill remember next time. Enjoy the pics!

To be honest because of Capt. Shane when I first caught snakeheads I killed them but after the first 2 I just felt horrible about it. Did some research and found out they are being hunted down for the wrong reasons. They are a blast to catch even though they almost always destroy my lure. I catch my biggest bass in the same spot I catch huge snakeheads

Wish I saw this before going out today! Caught a solid 3 pounder probably around 20+ inches. I like this idea though. I think the one month, best 5 fish idea is awesome!

Yea, that split second of hesitation is important. The minute I lose site of the frog and see my line getting tight I set the hook hard, usually up instead of to the side. I noticed I almost always rip the frog of snakeheads mouth if i set it sideways, maybe because they have flatter mouths than bass? But everyone loses fish now and then regardless of what you do, its all about practice!

Thanks man, try using one of the spro popping frogs they really go out of they're way to eat em'. Cast down the bank so they wont hear you coming! Good luck!

From my experience I would say it depends on the weather that day. How sunny it is, cloud cover, etc. A good app u can download is called bassmaster powered by scout look. Also keep an eye on barometric pressure, dropping pressure results in better fishing. With that being said it all depends but if its real sunny with clear skies, fish heavy cover, get your stick baits under those mats and grass. If you got good cloud cover than anything can work, the fish will be more active, try the edges of structure and grass mats. That's my 2 cents. Good luck!

Well now they are only $4.50 at dicks sporting goods lol so u can get it and try it out

Hard to compare a stolen senko to a $8 lure lol

Lol yea definitely. The 3 snakeheads i caught when i went back were smaller than the one i lost tho, i could tell by the fight they put up. I also realized the snakeheads really prefer the spro frogs rather than the soft plastic ones. I use the Stanley ribbits because of the paddle feet action but just in one day using the spro I've caught more snakeheads in that spot than 3 months worth!

Keep the rod tip down. With experience you can feel when they're gonna jump.
