 Thank you. He even texted me and thanked me again later. It was kind of a special moment that is hard to explain.  He is a great nieghbor also , always willing to help with anything he can.

I may have created a monster though…😂

My nieghbor Leon called and wanted me to see his new combo. He brought it over and we went out back to try it out. He didn’t catch anything on it , so I showed him how to catch bream on my ultralight.

Apparently he hooked a little bream and this bass ate the bream.  It fell off on top of the grass right at the bank, and I reached down and grabbed it. I haven’t seen many children that were as excited as Leon was . It was his first bass. 

Now he’s wanting me to take him on saturday!!

Hooked for life.

That's a whole lot bigger than my first bass! Very awesome of you to be able to get someone's feet wet in this sport.

Working in Louisiana for a week so got a little fishing in at Texoma and Roberts before leaving.

 

Flipped a war eagle colorado blade around the docks at Texoma and hooked into this angry little spotted bass. Slammed it as I was chatting with a buddy. You know those times when you're mid sentence and then conversation stops as you set the hook? Yeah, that.

 

In the Roberts shallows, a whopper plopper grabbed a little largemouth and the weightless fluke grabbed a few super dinks so I get the feeling I'm antagonizing males. Maybe when I get back the ladies will be around.

 

Probably gonna stop at some east Texas Parks on the way home. Congrats to the people catching tanks, looking forward to my next one.

Highlights from a super weird cold front.  Lotsa toads!  Too many to post smaller than this.  Been a fun last 24 hours.  Can't wait to see what this weekend has in store for us!!!

 

Jake started us out right before it hit with a 5.5 on the boat and I followed him up with some chunky pre and post spawners at the pond while it blew hard and got chilly.

Rack ‘em and stack’em @Pat Brown, stay on a roll!

I haven't fished/ caught/ posted much in a long time, but good to see lots of nice fish being caught! Here's a 7.5# NLMB I caught today on a swimbait (WCZ citizen) though.

Daygum freak @deep Congrats!  

[Swamp Girl]

Heck, yeah, @deep, that's a Megaultrasaurus! 

[TnRiver46]

@deep is back!!!

Had a few minutes after dinner last night to go down to the dock and prep some tackle in the boat for this weekend.  I'm thinking the white Rage Bug will be the ticket....at least it was for 20 minutes here in my cove....these were just from the dock

[Swamp Girl]

@Choporoz: How big are those bass? The second and third ones look exceptional. 

[Choporoz]

Didn't get the scale out....so, I'd guess more than 3, less than 7?

They look big, but it's hard (for me) to guess their weights with those perspectives, I.e. not much more than a head. I also get muddled when bass are thrust at the camera so that they're as big or bigger than the angler's torso. Whatever their weights, they're impressive and even more so caught from a dock in 20 minutes.

Okay guys, you heard @ol'crickety. Southern kinsfolk in this here God's Country, this is our moment. You all remember those Northern guys and gals catching fish after fish all summer while we sit scratching our heads right? It's time for us to flip the script! We must start landing bucketmouth after bucketmouth while those yankees accumulate bucket after bucket of snow. 

 

^Posted^ last October and so true. You southern anglers have sure delivered and we Mainers are still buried in snow.

I caught 15 this morning.   14 Largemouth and one Spot.  I was going to stop all my sonar if I was seeing fish, but not catching any but I had no problem catching them.   Most were 14" to 16".   Biggest was 5.12 lbs. (12/100ths, not 12 ounces).   Pictured are the first, then the biggest.   The first 2 were on a Texas rigged lizard.  After that I started getting short strikes.  I switched to a Texas rigged craw for most of the rest.  All of them were caught after running a buzz bait over them a few times.  The big one hit the buzz bait.

Toooooads @deep  @Woody B, and @Choporoz !!!! 

 

Love to see everyone getting big beautiful bass in the spring time!

Caught a handful of these 2-3 pounders off my kayak today.

 

Late this afternoon I fished off my backyard and lost a BIG one. Man I hate when that happens.

 

UPDATED: I lost that big one swimming a jig head minnow on a Dobyns Fury 703C. I rarely use that rod, but I picked it up the other day and it felt great so I thought, what the heck.

 

I fished off my back yard again tonight with that same setup and I lost FIVE fish. Yes, five. Granted, these were little bass a pound and under, but it became comical. Maybe it's because I was sweeping my hooksets, but I don't think that's it.

 

I fish braid with a flouro leader on most of my setups and I fish the same jig combo on an Expride and have no problems with hookups.

 

It's probably me, but I'm going to blame the rod 😀 Tonight I banished it to my shed.

Hey,

 

Caught some largemouth today, not the biggest but I'm still happy about it. One destroyed the body of my swimbait and left the hook and weight still hanging on 😆
