I got one yesterday but he’s in the cooler on ice along with brother and a solo crappie. Not sure you want a picture of them in storage. Just good eater size. Happy New Year’s!!

Wow!! Great Job!! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure 😁👍

Nice Job!! Definitely 6+ 😀

What a Blast!!! Thanks for sharing ! 😀

Absolutely!

5.8 pounder 23” long Swam away nicely upon release. Never mind the smile- I had a dip in 🙂 #3 ewg with watermelon n red flake plastic worm. 1/16 pegged bullet weight

Love It!! What a Great Day!

I got my PB the morning of a hurricane. I’m in central Florida so we just get some wind & rain and decided to sling a watermelon 6” plastic worm from the dock around 7:30am!

Awesome write up! Thanks for taking us along on the adventure!

Very Nice!!!! Thanks for sharing ?

Keep us posted please. Can you post a picture of your setup? I have a small boat and am considering upgrading to a larger screen too but not sure best way to mount. Thanks!

Yes sir. Sorry for late reply.

Now That was a Great story! Thank you for sharing the exciting experience ? Always the last cast, huh? LOL

I live fish north of you. My recommendation is to get a $130 4” garmin fish finder. Will save you a lot of time. Typically on my lake early mornings and late evenings the bass are 18’ or less

Awesome Fun!!!! Thanks for sharing the Excitement !!

What a Hog!! Congratulations!! Happy you were able to get her to swim off ???

Congratulations on all them catches. Weather is just letting them have a break from being caught by You! ?

Are you fishing too fast?

Central Florida- 8.22# 2 days ago 7.54 in 2nd pic and 8.2. (Pic size too large to upload) Been my Best Year Ever!!! 8.2# was PB until 2- days ago

Went out last Thursday after hearing a big splash - wanted to see if we have a gator. Couldn’t find anything so cruised over and chatted with few different neighbors out on their docks enjoying the evening (I was making a circle around the lake). Last neighbor -2 houses to left of ours -and I had just finished a conversation about his new duck chic. Decided to cast a shallow diver in a clear pocket of weeds. It sank a little- gave soft short tug then felt soft pullback. Set the hook and IT WAS ON!!! Yelled Fish On! and Bobby started back down the hill. Knew it was a big one as drag was being stripped and my little 10’ plastic boat started moving towards the deep! Then it turned me towards shallow!! Ohhh if I could keep her on and wear her down I might be able to land her! Heart racing and blood pumping I hung on and remembered NO SLACK! TIGHT LINE!! DON’T LET HER THROW YOU!! After the Most Exciting 5-8 minutes she was near the boat. Lipped HER in, “BOBBY I NEED PICTURES!! He says “Don’t have my phone “. “WELL GO GET IT!!!” He ran up hill and returned ???. Meanwhile I broke my old tackle box lid by ripping it open to get scale. Weighed in my New PB @ 8.2 Pounds!!! She was 2” longer than my 24” scale too!! Released her safely back to her home ???. Barely had rear treble hook in her mouth at this point so was easy to get out and very little damage ???

Now THAT IS KOOL!!! Are you able to export to a computer or IPad screen and save it? How many acres is the lake? I would love to see how you have it set up on your kayak. Thanks for sharing

Hi Guys & Gals, I'm in Central Florida, water temp is 68 degrees on our little lake. Just completed power to new dock and installed a BO JO Fish light which knocks bugs to the water surface at night. It's been going each night for about 2 weeks. Wild minnows are coming in and eating the bugs as they should. Recently I noticed about 6-8 LM Bass that appear to be 3 pounders circling under the light at Nascar Speeds and pattern! The bass are about Mid Level in Water Column 4 -5 feet deep-( total depth = 8 feet) I have dropped 6" Live Night Crawlers, Large minnows, Crappie Jigs, and a spinner bait down on the racing bass. They pay NO ATTENTION! They will bump the worm or minnow away as they do their laps. Every once in a while a Monster Bass comes busting thru really fast and they all split up, but do come back after 15 minutes or so and start the race again. Anybody have a clue as to what they are doing? The lowest surface temp the lake (11 acres) has gotten this fall/winter is 65 degrees. It's a Spring fed lake. My Guesses are : 1. Male chasing Female - I have seen a pair of bass looking for a place to build a bed near the dock, so maybe it's that time? 2. Creating vortex pulling minnows down and eating? 3. Keeping minnows in bait ball? When the light is turned off, the top of the water starts busting all around as the minnows disperse Thanks for your ideas!

Man what an AWESOME STORY!!! You are a BLESSED MAN!!! Get as much of it as you can and take pictures ??. Keep trying to get your boy out with you and Grand pa!!

VERY NICE BASS!!! She did WELL!!! You have Many GREAT Reasons to be PROUD!!!! I am Happy for You and Her!!!
