@keagbassr, that big head is one lumpy-bodied bass. I can see why you thought she was a seven when she showed her head.

I went to Freeman Lake today, with intent to fish into the rain that was forecast. I had one nip on my buzzbait, but it was pretty slow for a couple of hours. It started raining right before I was going to pack it up, and wham a 5lber decided it was safe to come out for the buzzbait.

Whoa, @Bazoo. We need to talk about the haircut police here. And while your at it a razor would also be beneficial.

My buddy has been killing it in the back of the boat lately! He got another 20+” whilst I catch dinks

I've heard that big fish like spinnerbaits. Maybe you should try one of those.

That means the big bass are under the back of the boat. Turn the boat around and THEN you'll be catching the big ones.

Sheriff deputy for over 16 years now. Part of my current assignment is transporting inmates to and from court and also sitting in plains clothes with them during their trials. Unfortunately "plain clothes", translates to a suit and tie ?. As someone who selects clothes almost completely based off comfort,  it is not my favorite thing at all.

 

Compromise, Deputy Clayton. Wear the suit and tie, but don your colorful crocs with them.

@TnRiver46 throw a frog out in the middle of the channel. They’ll never know what hit them

Y’all are hilarious the way you keep harassing him over spinnerbaits ??

Best skunking of my life.

 

Took the new project boat out to mess with a few things and decided to take the boy for his first on the water fishing trip since it was going to be a short excursion.  Was ready to go "bye bye" after 45 minutes, but cherished every moment.

 

Did have 2 bites in 30 cast where something just blasted the blades.  Local spinnerbait bite has been fire.

Best post of the day. Likely. Unless someone posts a photo of taking their kid AND dog fishing for the first time. 

 

Seriously, I love that photo and your solid dadding.

Ironically the middle of the channel is a great place for

topwater where we were. Shad eating bugs in the scum line are always getting trucked by large SMB in the dead center

Spook? Y’all throw those a lot on the Tn River?

Ran into a sizable specimen on a black 1/2 oz nichols buzz bait and got to see a beautiful sunrise.

FWIW, I don't throw much topwater anymore, but a walking bait like a spook will get tied on before I reach for anything else (poppers, ploppers, etc).

Heck yeah, people even wear em out with ploppers. They will hit anything when they are feeling right

All this talkin' 'bout walkin' baits has me wanting to try them again. Here's how many bass I've caught on a walking bait:

 

Muskies: 0

 

SMB: 0

 

LMB: 0

I also have 0 fish on walking baits unless you count walking a frog or popper or chopping a glide bait.

 

I keep trying them at times I think they should work and get nothing.  Fast.  Slow.  Long pauses.  Burning them.  Burn + pause.  Silent ones, rattly ones, knockers etc.

 

Tie on a squarebill and let it float to the surface and sit there and it gets eaten.  I don't get it.

 

I had one blow up on a Berkley Cane walker back in early summer and I had one blow up on a super spook night fishing a year ago.

 

Beyond that, I've never even seen a ripple behind one.  I throw them at schooling fish and the schooling stops.  I let it get worked back up on the surface and toss a buzzbait in there and it gets crushed.

 

I don't know what it is.  I think walking topwaters work better at herring lakes or something.

 

Probably just need to do the ole 'tie on only walking topwaters for a month and see what happens ' game with it.  Usually I figure it out when I do that.

When I came here to TX, it became immediately apparent to me that a spook is something of a more prominent bait here than in other places I’ve been. So I got several. I’ve used them sparingly. No strikes yet, but they will produce at some point.

I'm having a similar experience...I'm doing terrible at roberts this week but my buddy at Lewisville downstream is crushing it. He's been kicking my butt since August really but it's been numbers this week
