  1. Nice fish. Its always fun when you are catching fish no matter what you throw. Its funny that we try so hard to catch fish, but (atleast in my case) when I start catching loads of fish Ill switch to a different technique just for some good practice with a new bait
  2. Never had a color that worked better than black. Usually they throw some red flake in them, but the more black...the better. IMO
  3. Okay. didn't know if my post was clear. Im talking about when setting the hook on a fish with the same pressure. That answers my question. Thanks
  4. Does a heavier(greater diameter) mono line have less stretch compared to a lighter line? When I pull on my 8lb mono vs. my 14lb mono, the 14lb seems to have a lot less stretch.
  5. I tried fluoro and had the same troubles. When i tried to flip it, it didn't come off the spool nearly as smooth as mono. When making long casts, I couldnt thumb the spool because the lines would just back up on the spool. Although I liked the thoughness of the line, I think Ill just stick with the mono.
  6. Thats awesome. I always kinf of thought this was crazy, but it seemed to be true when i caught fish out of different areas. Thanx for the info
  7. I heard once that the darkness/brightness of the color of a bass can tell you whether they have been holding deep or shallow. Is this true? Or is this just a genetic triat within the population?
  8. Picked up a pack of Kinami worms today. Couldn't tell any difference between the Kinami worms and senkos. They are both made by Gary Yamamoto........anybody know the difference besides a different colored package?
  9. Bass n Bows, You can usually email yourself pictures off of a phone. You send it just like sending a picture to another phone, but you put the email address in. I have an old phone and can do this, so yours probably does this as well.
  10. Lefty here. Tried my buddy's right hander for a day and hated it! It's going to be hard to find a cheap left hander though. Most cheap reels dont come in lefty
  11. What is your most effective pattern? I've always used the midnight black. Just seems to me to be the most noticeable if a bass is looking up.
  12. I've found that their is a time and place for rattles. I cant say Im a jig expert, but I usually use rattles when fishing for less aggresive bass, or in muddy water. I've actually had more success without rattles, but again....I just started using jigs about a year ago
  13. What is the best technique to use immeditaley, and a couple weeks, after the spawn? I know.....a very broad question. Just looking for all different views
  14. Awesome video! It definatley had a "sand lot" feel to it. Cool stuff
  15. Yeah. I finally hooked into the fish and drug it out. Found out it was an alligator gar.
  16. I've tried both the suffix elite and just using hi-vis yellow braid. The braid is a lot more visible. Im kind of partial to braid anyways
  17. Yeah. If i could see the fish i probably wouldnt have asked the question. The whole pond was covered in algae, and the fish weren't jumping out of the water, they were just hitting at the frog. Anyways, problem solved
  18. Aha! Solved my problem. Just hooked into a 4ft alligator gar on my spro frog. Good news.....I solved my question. Bad news......No way I could have gotten the frog out of its mouth=$8 down the drain. I didn't know alligator gar lived in ponds. Oh well, guess they do
  19. I've recently found a secluded pond that is covered in some kind of floating algae, not anchored but floating. I've been fishing it with a frog, and have gotten some huge explosions on the surface. For some reason they never seem to take the frog. Every now and then these huge fish bolt around on the surface.....looks like chasing baitfish. They almost look too big to be bass. Is there a type of carp that will attack a top water frog? If not, any advice on how to catch these monster bass?
  20. Hey. A buddy just caught this bass out at a pond i fish every now and then. He said he didn't get any measurments, because he wanted a safe release. Any guesses as to what the weight is?
  21. Those are the kind of stories that cause me to have 10 last casts!! Anyways, nice fish man!
  22. Which ones did you compare? Have you weighed any all stars by chance. Pretty much Im just looking for a good light weight rod for less than $90.
  23. Sounds Awesome! Abu also has a $10 rebate on all their reels. I love my revo s! Just got it. Smooth as can be!
  24. For some reason I cant find the actual weight of different types of rods. Is there a reason the weight isnt shown, or is there a place where I can find the weight of different rods?
  25. What do you consider the best line for froggin. I was thinking about switching to fluoro, but the In-Fisherman that i just got in the mail said absolutely no fluoro on topwaters. Dont really know why......anyways Im wondering if i should stick to the mono or go to braid? Just affraid 30lb braid in open water will be too visible. Opinions?
