It had just rained so the carp were biting very well Very weird half white koi and half common carp Bladeslinger caught a 20 LBer!

Thanks for shareing. All around epic post.

Great fish!!! Wooo Hoo for a guy who describes his fights with fish in as much detail as I do LOL!!!

"50% OF THE TIME IT WORKS EVERY TIME"

In the winter time I will often fish for carp and catfish. I have some great fun.

LOL funny I said pretty much the exact same thing on the thread without even reading your post. Il cast a senko then count to 30 a lot of the time before moving it and it gives me great results.

I AGREE with slowing down the presentation of baits and bait presentation 100% especially if the bait is not producing results right away. I have had so many baits produce fish once I slow down the actions and presentations that were not producing in the first place. What I often do with wacky rig senkos is I will toss the senko out and then count to 30 seconds before I do ANYTHING at all with it. I tend to have great results doing this. I DISAGREE with "slowing down" when it refers to staying with the same bait and presentation for longer periods of time if it is not working. If its not working quit using a losing tactic.

I know of so many lakes where they dont let you bring any beer in Cali. You dont have to let this stop you though.

Try out new baits. Try out multiple presentations with each bait. Learn the structures of the lake you fish. Fish to your strengths. Observe the weather and conditions. If packing a snack to take fishing. Leave the bananas at home.

This bass measured 19.5 inches and had a 12.5 inch girth. I would guess he is in the high 4 LB range. Now the funny story that goes with this bass is I was fishing with a finesse worm ( what a suprise) when he hit the bait. I thought that this bass was actually bigger than he actually was because he was putting up a huge fight even though I could not see him. The bass then got stuck in a big clump of grass and weeds. I stayed there for a minute lightly turning and pumping the bass in different directions with no results. This was not working so I took off my pants and went wading into the lake (sorry for the disturbing visuals). I waded in with the rod and real and was able to get enough leverage to get the bass out. I was then standing waste deep in the lake fighting the fish towards me while I could lip it waste deep in water... I think I take the cake for the most hardcore fishermen at the site now. EDIT: Fixed the epic fail giant too big pictures.

Wow those are some lunkers.

Yeah I remember him showing me that bass a few days after he caught it. It could well be the same fish. I caught a 5 Lber from that same pond today Il post the pic up when I can.

That is a great photo... refering to the first one.

Was going to say how much I love zoom baits but everyone else beat me to it.

I just set up a facebook on monday. Good to know... well I never use it for anything but talking to friends anyway.
