Super User everythingthatswims Posted July 17, 2015 Super User Posted July 17, 2015 Did a little river bassin' today from the kayak, plenty of bass, green ones and brown ones. Caught fish on: 6" Bullshad, Senko, T-rigged trick worm, t-rigged speed craw, war eagle spinnerbait, KVD 1.0, X-Rap, and a 1/4oz spro bucktail. They were very hungry so I just started experimenting with different baits. This fish ate a spinnerbait that I was bringing through a laydown, she tried to go back in and was rubbing my line on a log, I was so involved in the fight that I didn't realize what I was doing and rolled my kayak over! BUT I GOT THE FISH. Also recovered everything that fell out of the kayak. She was 19" long and spit up a 7" gizzard shad. People still wonder why I throw a bull shad... I put the bucktail on as a joke but I ended up doing extremely well with it, on both green and brown fish. If guys can do it on deep ledges I can do it in a shallow river right? 3 Quote
Bass catcher Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Just looks like a good ole largemouth bass to me! Nice catch Thanks! I was not 100% sure it was even a bass, so at least I got that part right I do have a little book that shows all the different kinds of fish, but everytime I pull one out of the lake they all kinda look the same to me...except for the catfish.

It felt like it weighed between 1 and 2 lbs, but that's a guess. Can any experienced anglers tell me what kind of bass this is? This was in Gaithersburg, MD. Thanks! Nice fish, looks like a golf couse you were fishing. Where was this at in Gaitherburg? Quote
Bass catcher Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I was at the upper lake at NIST. https://maps.google.com/maps?ll=39.132576,-77.211711&t=h&z=19 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 Got another nice one today. Wasn't expecting to pull this fish out of a laydown on a flipping jig. Thought for sure I had a 5lb largemouth. Nope, 18" 2.8lb smallie. Boy can they fight! 4 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 18, 2015 Super User Posted July 18, 2015 5 pounder on the Ned Rig! Hard to get perspective without someone else taking the pic, but it was officially 5 pounds even. 6 Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 Wow that's a pig! Looks like a pretty stout hook on that jighead? Pretty heavy head too? Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 1/8 head. Casts pretty nicely on spinning tackle. It is a pretty stout hook, a lot of people say to set the hook lightly on a Ned Rig, but I set it pretty hard. Super sharp, had no problem hooking fish. Quote

Super User deep Posted July 19, 2015 Super User Posted July 19, 2015 Been on an awesome jig bite lately. There's absolutely nothing I like better than when they eat jigs on a long cast on or near the bottom. 41 keepers in ~10 hours on the water (3 trips), all over 13", none over 16" unfortunately. All on my walmart one dollar special jig (heavily modified of course). A Hudd68 type bass (wish I was clever enough to come up with that). These little fish pull SO hard. This fish at least has the length to girth ratio in its favor! Think I'll take a break for a few days. 8 Quote
livetofish28 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 5.8 pounds on a jig in a 3 hour Wednesday night tournament. Big fish and helped our other two fish to be good enough for 1st place with big fish. Pretty decent night. Tight lines Andrew 7 Quote
Fishing Cowgirl Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Well I didn't catch the 7 lber like I was hoping for the Tournament. BUT I did catch a new personal best and my first Florida Trophy Catch Bass. Submitted it last night. 8.90 lbs, 26" length. For the All About the Bass Benefit Tournament. 8 Quote
guitarglynn1 Posted July 20, 2015 Posted July 20, 2015 Had the pleasure of fishing with my bro in law Tyler. That is his first NJ LM bass. Set the hook so hard on that poor little guy he fell down.lol He lives in Texas and this was the first time I got to do some fishing with him and it was a treat. That guy has forgot more about bass fishing than I know and I am a better angler for just the few days I got to fish with him. Can't wait to do it again! That is a donkey even by Texas standards 4 Quote

Super User the reel ess Posted July 20, 2015 Super User Posted July 20, 2015 5 LB 1 OZ on a Chug'n Spook Jr, frog pattern from the kayak. It was almost dark as you can see from the photo. It only had one of the 6 trebles, under the jaw. I had to wear it down to get it lipped without wearing those hooks. 3 Quote
