Got out on the water and caught some fish, what a relief. I nearly forgot how to drive a boat. Also saw a tiny iceberg and a cool mud line

That's a daygum STUD shellcracker!   I don't even have to ask if it will be in the fryer soon 😆

 

Love those fish.  

[TnRiver46]

Hahaha actually everything got to swim away today , I’m at a retirement party for my wife’s boss (should have thrown them on ice anyway) 

[Swamp Girl]

That iceberg was so close to sinking you. Just remember, if it ever does, save your Rose because your love will go on.

Hoping to catch a break before then, and if not, that the lakes don't get trashed since they're just recovering from the last downpour.

 

Just light rain here today, with more of the same forecasted tomorrow and Friday.   Hopefully this won't blow out the lakes.  The forecast here for Saturday is rain in the PM but temperatures in the 50's and 60's.   If that holds I'm going Saturday morning and will probably fish until, or into the rain for a while.   Hopefully the warmer weather will wake them up and make them hungry.   

 

If the rain blows out my normal lakes I may try Monticello Reservoir Sunday.   It's a 7000 acre "pumped storage facility" that used for nuke cooling.   It doesn't usually get muddy.   A friend says they're catching them there suspended near the tops of flooded timber in ~80 feet of water.

Just looked it up - I’m about an hour and a half from there. Looks like a big, open lake. I’d have to watch the wind forecast closely to risk a drive like that in the small aluminum. Thought I’d seen reports though that it had a good population of fish in it.

You should fish in Woody's boat! I'd love to see two of my favorite bassin' buddies in the same boat.

He's welcome anytime.  I'd probably just sit back and learn.

You're two of BR's most consistent anglers. I'm sure you both have tricks to swap.

Pat, I love that photo.

 

That bass.

 

Your joy.

 

This day.

 

The challenge met of catching that beast on the ole pressured pond.

 

I love too how you gave Alex his due. 

[Swamp Girl]

Say, Pat, you know how I love the story of a fight and you're a top tier storyteller. When you have time...

Jr needed a haircut and it was raining so I said why don't y'all drop me and my lipless off and pick me up after his haircut and we go to the grocery store.

 

I got there at 4 pm and walked the banks and casted with no bites for one hour and got to the rip rap wall adjacent to the dam and saw piles of shiners in the dead flooded vegetation.

 

I also saw the dirty water here and I knew it was game time.

 

Made 3 casts.  She hit on the third.  I thought I hung my lipless on a log and then the log started swimming away from me and then back towards me and then started to really pull the drag out.  I kept the tension on her like I learned from ole David Fritts and when I got her in my hands the skies erupted and I let out a howl at the top of my lungs all by myself!

 

Meagan and Jake got there just in time to say goodbye and she swam away with vigor and fervor!

 

She was NOT the half tail monster of legend and as such has renewed my vigor for pursuing the giants of the Pressured Pond®™ just in time for the inevitable move to spawn coming next week!  

 

Beyond grateful to have made this beautiful ladies acquaintance and set her on her way to feast on shiners, put another pound or two on, and make beautiful bass babies!  🥹🥹🥹♥️♥️♥️

 

I'll be out there at the crack of dawn tomorrow you better believe it!

I'm out of likes y'all but this place is the best most supportive and thoughtful fishing community the world has ever known!  Thankful to call you all friends and co conspirators in pursuit of big bass dreams!
