Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 22, 2017 Global Moderator Posted April 22, 2017 First fish on one of my new finesse jigs, and first fish on my new Favorite rods White Bird. An exceptional fish for this lake. I caught over 30 more, only 1 of them would have even approached 1 pound. 12 Quote

Super User J._Bricker Posted April 22, 2017 Super User Posted April 22, 2017 I don't know Mike. I'm pretty sure I've seen a picture last fall with A-Jay holding this same fish, er football, and she decided it was time for her spring portrait , lol. I gotta say those are beautiful pics! 3 Quote

Super User N Florida Mike Posted April 26, 2017 Super User Posted April 26, 2017 Thanks.What I love doing.When I take her I try to remember to make it about her,so she'll have so much fun she'll keep going with me. Her older brother is good at it too,but at present he's been bit by the video game bug. Quote

Fishin' Fool Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Monday was a nice calm day on Lk St Clair. Had it been June it would have been a great topwater bite all day. Here's a chrome/blue Red Eye shad smallie. 10 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted April 26, 2017 Super User Posted April 26, 2017 The spirit of Buck Perry is alive and well in central Indiana Snuck out after work for 2 hours. First structure spot, first pass (on the troll), this 4lb. plus largemouth engulfed the bait. Happy camper - picked up the crappie rod for the rest of the evening 18 Quote
WDE Posted April 26, 2017 Posted April 26, 2017 Saw this one crash the shallows on some shad. He took the squarebill in two casts. It was so windy, I had to cast into it inland to get it to fall in his zone a few feet off the bank. 3.2lbs. This is the second bass of this size I've caught in the past few days with a bloody tail. Information seems to point in either direction in terms of its sex. Is there a current definite answer? 7 Quote
HeavyTwenty Posted April 27, 2017 Posted April 27, 2017 I've been catching a ton of bass lately because its mostly post-spawn. Unfortunately, I think my best in the last 2 weeks has been maybe 3lbs. Stopped by a retention pond on my way back from the gym. Caught this one on second cast w/ zoom black horny toad near a drain after noticing a top water hit there. Weighed in at 7lb9oz. Didn't measure, but probably 24". Releasing her did make me sad. I'm pretty sure I lost a larger bass (26"-28" but also skinny) last Friday on Alligator Lake. The bass was ripping drag and pulled my yak over to some brush... got pretty close to landing her, maybe 4 ft away. Wish I had my anchor ready. 9 Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted April 28, 2017 Super User Posted April 28, 2017 Another nice fish this evening. Caught on the watermelon slice 5 inch senko. 13 Quote
JigginJim Posted April 28, 2017 Posted April 28, 2017 Hey folks. New to the forum and saw this thread. I live in SW Florida for many years but I'm a novice bass angler of about 3 years. Most of my fishing is from my kayak in smaller hard to reach spots. Just pulled this linked in on Sunday morning. Lakes and ponds are low due to no rain in months but the bass are biting. Not sure how much this linked weighs since my scale died, but it measured 25"L x 18.5" girth. Put up a great fight:) 13 Quote

Super User buzzed bait Posted April 28, 2017 Super User Posted April 28, 2017 slipped out for a little session right before dark last night.... not much action, missed one really good bite on my t rig. was working my way back to the truck and tossing the MB giant dog x in white python. tossed past a point, twitched it 2-3 times and this spot nearly ripped the rod out of my hands! 3.25lber and i caught it about 100 yards away from the 3.5lb spot i caught about 2 weeks ago! and i had to get my obnoxious selfie with my heels hat for all my haters, you know who you are !! @kickerfish1 @Catt @whitwolf 13 Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted April 28, 2017 Super User Posted April 28, 2017 Boy that shade of blue is sure ugly! At least you have better tastes in fishing gear! 3 Quote
