Latest Catch Pics Thread

Sitting here watching the snow fall. It will all be gone by this time tomorrow. Will likely keep me off the water this weekend, but its been a good week. A total of 5 trips resulting in 95 bass. Most have come on jerkbait, but have also caught several on jigs, A-rig and crankbait. The one in the pic came Thu. on crankbait. Water temps at least on our reservoirs have been running 43-46 degrees. Still waiting on a really nice warm day.

Y'all makin' me jealous. Not only is Minnetonka still socked in - I can't even legally target bass for another 2 months.

Had a fun Saturday with a shadow rap, my buddy even beached his boat below a dam and started walking around catching smallies. I also found a chatter bait in a tree

Supposed to be in the 60's late this week but raining. Gonna bundle up and try today. Kinda stinks after last Sun. being 66.

Got 4th yesterday with 13.4. Lots of rain and a cold front took away what I really wanted to do. Caught them on windy main lake pockets on a 1/2 oz red( not sure the technical color) yo zuri rattling vibe. I thought I knew my lake better than I did. I did lots of driving trying to find flat main lake pockets that are in a northeast wind. Turned out ok though.

It aint big but I got one on the Xcalibur remake lol

Only one today was camera worthy. Lake was about 4 ft high and they were tough to find. This one came on a Greenfish Ballistic HD spinnerbait in sun fish. Just 4lb 1oz, but way better than the others I have been catching lately. Need the weather to get right here pretty quick.

Caught my 1st bass of 2020 doing some night fishing for crappie. I got tired of crappie jigging and started walking the docks throwing a 5/16 jig and connected. 

[JustJames]

Man I’m opposite from you, a lot of time, I get tired of bass jigging but never tired of crappie if I find them, of course.

Well, I had to try to dodge the rain today just to find a place to fish. Rain was moving south to north across the state so I decided to head to the Southeast part of the state and fish McGee creek. I had only been there once and it was a LONG time ago so I had no idea what to expect. It was pouring when I got up but since I had about an hour and a half drive ahead of me I finally left about 8 this morning. Got the boat in the water at 9:45 and took off, not knowing where in the world I was headed. I fished a place I had found on the map first as it was pretty flat and I hoped to find some that had moved up shallow. I fished there for about 30 min and decided to move. When I got up on plane the rain hit, and it was raining hard. This went on for about 30 min and then it cleared off. The next stop was in a long creek that looked promising but it was DEEP, so I trolled around the point looking for where it leveled out. I saw some still water up around the bend and made my way to it. Water went from 30 ft to 15 ft and slowly to 7 ft. I saw the glass like water break with a splash and I knew something was chasing bait. I grabbed a 110 +2 in sexy shad and first cast, bam, fish on. It was a 3-4 and since 3 lb is my new "picture worthy" size I was going to snap a pic. Since I was by myself I didn't have everything set up so I tossed him in the box and cast again. Bam, another one, not as good but no slouch. In the box he goes. I fished for another 20 min and had 5 in the livewell, 3 over 2 and 2 over 3. I decided to get them out and take a pic and get them back in the water. Ended up catching 5 more off that point, all on the 110. Moved around and caught 2 more on a spinnerbait before the rain and wind won out. Not going to win any tournaments with those 5, but not bad for a short catching frenzy.

Me too. Here lately turning down bass just to go jig some crappie.

[Jermination]

few big brown girls & a male one on the last pic from the last week. Starting to move up to spawn here in east TN. woohoo

[PhishLI]

Squoze in a late afternoon/evening sesh with some buds. The chatterbait got some play early on, but the Buccas got bit after dark.

First bass of the year after finally getting ice out on this lake about a week ago. 

[J._Bricker]

@walleyecrazymaybe she’ll grow into this lakes “Dottie”. Congratulations on getting on ‘em in 2020!

[Midwest Fisherman]

Did a couple fatties today, beautiful fishing in the fog. 

 

 

 

[Team9nine]

Finally stuck a good one this morning :) Rapala Husky Jerk weighted to perfectly suspend.

 

[J._Bricker]

It really kinda blows when Google sends you a reminder of what a great day you had exactly two years ago. Especially while observing a mandated shelter in place. But what the heck, it was a pretty good day lol

[Bluebasser86]

Took the whole family to do some "social distancing", Wednesday. The wife and boys are stir crazy from being stuck in the house so I thought they'd be up to spend some time in the boat with me on a fairly nice day. It drizzled off and on, which it wasn't supposed to happen, but only got heavy enough once to make them want to run to the truck for a while. Didn't catch a ton of fish, but it was steady and great variety. This lake has some of the biggest crappie in the state. We caught 3, 14.5", 15", and 15". I weighed the one I caught fishing by myself, 1.93lbs.

 

Friday I met my dad at the lake by his house that I use to fish a ton but haven't because the fees are so high now that I don't live in county anymore. It's so heavily pressure, I told him I was going to try to make my $100 back in lures I'd find and I got a good start on it already. The fish were still tiny for the most part, but dad and I put over 50 of them in the boat on jerkbaits and jigs, with a couple on spinnerbaits and one on a new bladed jig I made the night before. I had the one "real" fish that went 3.40 pounds and we both caught a trout a piece.

[JustJames]

Those are beautiful fat and healthy white crappie. I wonder which one more aggressive black or white? My lake only have black crappie and seem like the spawning come to an end. Can’t find those big one no more.

[Bluebasser86]

We have quite a few of both and the occasional black-nose crappie here. White crappie are by far the more aggressive IMO.
