I'm hoping the new outfit will be a horseshoe in my boxing glove when I meet Ms. Mike Tyson again.

They really wanted the topwater today. Caught a nice smallmouth first thing, it slammed the pop-r after a single pop. Then a sand bass did the same thing. It mangled my thumbs pretty good, I took a gill plate to one thumb and two barbs into the other. That fish may have been tossed back into the lake with a little bit of disrespect. Still I persist. Got two spotted bass and two nice LM after that. Bite ded, morning done, no regrets.

@thediscochef those are some nice fish! 

 

I feel your pain: had a fish spine me pretty good in the hand yesterday. And then I dropped him out of pain and surprise, and as he fell down into the water, he managed to spine my knee on the way down.

Oh, no! You got to see The Revenge of the Bass and its sequel in the same second.

Thanks! The smallmouth really are a treat, such angry little fish. My first topwater smallmouth too. 

There is a uniquely Christmas-ornament sensation that comes with having a sand bass hanging from a lure that's hanging from your thumb meats. 3 stars, would not recommend

Streak day 68. My girl keeps telling me I need to have a funny pic. So here we go. Gave the little girl a kiss before I put her back in. Got it off a zoom speed worm. Super super hot today. 98F and the feels line is 109F. My biscuits were burning. 
 

[Pat Brown]

Come on.  You gotta pucker up and smooch that pretty thang!  ?

 

[Swamp Girl]

Is kissing a bass cheating on your sweetheart? 

 

My second question: As your face approaches the bass's face, is she thinking that "he's going to eat me" or "Yeah, I get to eat him!"?

[Pat Brown]

I'm guessing the bass is thinking 'this is the last time I eat anything ever again'. ?

 

I reckon it's safe to kiss bass when it is the wife is behind the camera taking the picture of the smooch ?

[gim]

You guys are creeping me out a little bit.  Think I'll pass on swapping saliva with a fish.

You got to love the fish. They bring us years of enjoyment…decades even. 
 

it’s funny to think what the fish thinks of this….haha

Heavy downpours on and off all day, finally clearing around 7pm. Went to the closest spot not certain what to expect. Water level had risen several inches, but not overly stained. Halfway expected a super shallow bite, but that didn’t appear to be the case. Only caught 7, one of which was on the bank. Everything else was sitting at least off the weedline or deeper. Don’t think fish have settled in good yet. Got 3 on vibrating jig, 2 on finesse jig and 2 on Ned.

Got a decent one right off the bat this evening then only dinks. My buddy’s dog was trying to eat them all as we brought them into the boat. Barely dodged a lot of lightning and got a cool cloud photo 

[Bluebasser86]

I almost didn't go because it was supposed to storm all day. Almost decided to just stay close to the house because of all the storms that were coming. Decided just to make the drive and fish a better lake and take the chance. Never saw a single flash of lightning on the water and it never rained hard enough for me to stop and put on my rain gear, and I caught my biggest limit I've ever caught from my kayak at 97" (18.25+18.75+19.50+20.25+20.25). Not only that, but I caught over 50 throughout the day. They were eating a tube really well, but I was going through so many that I decided to switch to a jig towards the end of the day to see if I could still get a few bites and save some baits. I got bit my first two flips and ended up catching my second 20.25" fish of the day on it. The only other boat on the water left early because they weren't biting ?‍♂️

I wish I could launch these for real for you:

Nice camera upgrade @ol'crickety

 

Looks like you had an incredible day.  I'm very much looking forward to this weekend what with the new moon and such.

 

@Bluebasser86 I need to stinkin commit to the 'stupid tube' jig on Saturday on the boat and see what happens.

The Big Bite Baits craw tube has some mysterious drawing power on big fish for me. I went through a majority of a 25pk of the Hematoma color Sunday.

WOW!

Same lake I took you to. No grass in the lake anymore so it fishes a lot differently now.
