CALIFORNIA SAYS THAT CAUSES CANCER....REEEeeeeeee ?

This game is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!

It's a Bass eater is all I know, but one angler should always respect another angler

This makes me sad, and @WRB has done a fantastic job of laying out why the lake/s of my childhood dreams are not what they were. I'd still love to fish Pine Flat Lake, but it sounds pretty slow, and not the same as it was either. Still a DD Spot is only second to a WR LGM in my book. I can't even fathom a 10lb Alabama Spot. It would seemingly pull the boat around.

I just paid $234 total for a Zillion SV TW 1000. I'd be buying another one tom if I didn't have other big holes I wanted to fill with the JDM steal-athon. Seriously, everything is a steal. The most high end stuff is the biggest discounted stuff. Daiwa's flagship spinning real is like 550 JDM.....same real is 900+ USDM

That is crazy, never seen a Spot that looked like that. Caught some largemouths with rough patches on tongues that made me think they were a hybrid though. @TnRiver46 Is the man on birds, got that big Pelican type beak

Lol, don't lie, you stuffed weights down the throat of the measured fish ? Awesome fish, great job!

Lol, I knew the story went viral when it was being posted on my gun forums....dudes are finished and rightfully so. I just hope they have to pay some type of restitution to the victims, of which there are many.

Imho, major Bass fishing circuits like the MLF and BASS will never have a format besides weight. It's like if MLB decided to change how they measure homeruns or something. When you don't account for girth in Bass fishing, you are truly only getting half the story and size of the fish.

Goes to show you how nationally important and viewed this series is. Big Fox Saturday Baseball game, and now the ESPN Sunday night Baseball game. I hope my thoughts in a few replies earlier don't play out that way, but Bassett has shown to be the only stopper in the rotation the last month. On the other hand, it's not a day game which improves the Braves chances by 50% in general. Morton just got paid $20 million two days ago, and if he can command the slider.....Braves might just put a stake through their hearts tonight.

They win today is all but over, and the Mets will have out Met's themselves ? Fish are sitting Sandy A for the rest of the year too.....imagine how mad that must make the Mets

You got to hand it to modern day elite (same type of money these two crooks swindled folks and sponsors out of) Bass tourney circuits. It's not easy to cheat in a major Bass tourney anymore I'd imagine with lie detectors, monitors, many times camera crews.....just way more eyes and scrutiny it seems on Bass fishing tourneys. I read in the early days of Bass folks were caught stuffing weights though. I'm not a tourney guy and this is just based on TV observations.

Bingo on it all. The first point is exactly what I ended up doing, and actually appreciate having it that way now. My main group of 27 for the TM has to come out each time to charge, but I can go a bunch of times before the group of 24 running the 9sv even drops to 12.8v on the screen. The idea of the backup battery is really big for me on an electric only lake that is border line too big for at least one 50lb TM . Hoping for a new decked boat with front mounted TM, and then a rear TM for long hauls. LOL.....I'm one lazy first world fisherman

It'll turn around pal, it always does knowing you even if I said one month from now, you couldn't wait....you're like a kid in a candy shop but instead of candy it's super dark lunkerheads ?

The whole dead fish weigh in thing certainly allows for it.....one would assume every fish would get cut open by an official, but I'm wrong obviously

That first one is for sure the Debil....and the last one you posted is quite curious. Has some Spot qualities to it, but overall looks like a Smallie. Beautiful fish as always! I caught a nice Debil right at dusk, and caught several more Bass, but the bite has been brutal the last two days since we got a bump in low pressure, and increase in heat. I got a double crown with a Crappie cherry on top......can I play?? Downsizing big time is the only way I've gotten fish the last two days. Mini Max took the nice Spot along with another chunk Spot, and a Flashback mini took the LGM and another small Spot. 4 fish all on Chatterbait types. The chatterbait is the only other lure that competes with a 6" Roboworm when it comes to keeping that skunk out of the boat for me. Look at how small of a profile this Mini Max makes with a 3" Armor Shad, and dipped chartruese tail.....able to throw a 1/2oz bait with a profile that size. Looks just like that baby bream size.

Congrats on the pig, but you know it would have been a bigger fish had you used mono/fluorocarbon....say it with me, "no serious Bass fisherman only use braid" ?

That's crazy, this is the most ridiculously bold case of cheating in fishing I've seen

Haha about the insider trading ? After 5months that would have tickled me pink....I'm waiting to find a $20 Luckycraft that hopefully rusts out of cat's mouth, and then a nice Jackall to start floating in a similar place like yours above. I wish it didn't bother me so much to lose lures, but it drives me crazy.

LOL....I was a Falcons season ticket holder, you can't phase me friend ?

Oh heck yeah I'd love that too. Place sounds amazing, and similar to these lakes around here. I haven't gotten to catch Shellcrackers in forever, and I think these "dream lakes" have some. I've been talking to the owner of one, and he wants 300 a day, which seems fair. That's one of the most beautiful big fish I've ever seen. Just amazing! Great info, and it truly sounds like the place you go to bed dreaming about as a Bass angler. Yeah DD Bass in central FL are very common. Certainly, one of the greatest Bass fishing locations on Earth. Before Mexico, my fishing mentor said central FL was the place back in the day everybody paid to fish and catch their PB/DD fish. Still is to some degree I'd imagine.

Tough times to be an Auburn football fan ?

Unbelievable ? ETA: That's 7.5lbs of lead weight, I mean these cheaters were extremely bold

Baccarac has been on my bucket list since I was a kid, just like Castaic, and few others that were always featured in the Bass rags back in the day. Really appreciate the info, and my parents echo many of the same thoughts as you as they visit Mexico once a year usually. They know the tourists are off limits, but occasionally something spills over. I need to research how much a trip like this costs. In Alabama we have these "Ray Scott" model lakes that you pay per day or weekend to fish. Similar numbers and size fish as Mexico, just on small lakes. Gonna try a day or two at one here shortly, hopefully that holds me over until I have time and money to dedicate a week to epic Bassing in Mexico.

Sorry to hear about the setback pal. Things will get better, and you seem to be taking a more serious approach.
