Graham Posted June 30, 2018 Posted June 30, 2018 Second best of the summer on the frog. Mid day 90 degrees and full sun. Absolutely choked it and I had to horse her through 20 feet of thick vegetation. Went for 4.63, snapped a few shots and she was on her way. Update: Went out in the kayak for round two and caught a 14 incher, on a frog again. I’m on a frog kick here in Virginia! 22 Quote
UPSmallie Posted July 1, 2018 Posted July 1, 2018 Biggest smalljaw of the year so far for me. Was banging flats with a Rapala X-Rap in olive color when this tank decided he was hungry. Hit like a sack of bricks and made me think I had a 30+ inch pike on the line. 18 Quote

What a crazy fight, considering I had about 8 inches to work with between boat hoist and dock. It pays to spend the dough on Sufix 832! Close to my PB, it went 22". I put her back, of course. Sufix 832 is all I use. 30lb on my spinning rig and 40lb on my baitcasters. Really good braid. ? 1 1 Quote
Black Hawk Basser Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Indeed. Once I tried it, I have never gone back to anything else. 1 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted July 2, 2018 Super User Posted July 2, 2018 Only a 3 pounder but it was the first cast of the day on the first time throwing the Rico popper. A fun bait to throw.... 14 Quote
Jmp_37 Posted July 2, 2018 Posted July 2, 2018 Caught my first fish on a big swimbait a couple days ago! 17 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted July 2, 2018 Super User Posted July 2, 2018 That is definitely a hawg. Congrats. 2 Quote
Super User deep Posted July 2, 2018 Super User Posted July 2, 2018 Caught a few walking the banks. This one was the only non-dink. 18 Quote
haggard Posted July 3, 2018 Posted July 3, 2018 Reading about other people's 70-fish days, I just can't even imagine... you all are catching monsters. Took about 8 hours in grueling heat on the home lake to land six fish. Best of which is here, a largemouth on a Texas rigged 5-in black/blue-flake worm fishing a dropoff at a tiny island. Worth it? Totally! 15 Quote

I used to use 50lb Power Pro Spectra until I was given a spool of 40lb Sufix 832 when I was working at Rat-L-Trap by the boss man. Been using it ever since. ? Quote
Super User N Florida Mike Posted July 4, 2018 Super User Posted July 4, 2018 Nice way to start the 4th. She Crushed a watermelon red super fluke. 18 Quote
Super User Team9nine Posted July 5, 2018 Super User Posted July 5, 2018 High in the low 90s with heat indexes over 100, so called it after 40 fish. Fish in this little lake are fat and healthy, and put up one heck of a fight, but I haven't found any of the big girls from last year yet. Looks like the deepest water is only 7 or 8 feet, and we had a pretty severe winter, so I'm hoping they didn't die off. Got some solid chunks though today. As always, all my tackle went in my back pocket, and thanks to the Elaztech, I only had to use 2 worms today 20 Quote
Bulletman20XD Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 Here's a Lake Falcon Hawg for you boys!! 24 Quote
Super User NHBull Posted July 5, 2018 Super User Posted July 5, 2018 Top water was on.....Whopper Plopper for 3.8 18 Quote
Super User NYWayfarer Posted July 5, 2018 Super User Posted July 5, 2018 Happy 4th fishing with a classic lure. Caught these Bass on a Heddon Baby Torpedo. It was the only lure I could think of that reminded me of the fourth of July fireworks. Top water bite was on as the temps climbed to around 95 degrees. The top Smallmouth was wrapped in someone else's fishing line. I was able to cut it off before releasing him. 11 Quote
lo n slo Posted July 5, 2018 Posted July 5, 2018 i have a tiny torpedo in that frog pattern myself ? 1 Quote
Super User deep Posted July 6, 2018 Super User Posted July 6, 2018 About time I stuck a half-decent fish here. 23 1 Quote
Fairtax4me Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 Finally got on some smallmouth this evening after work. Only had about 45 minutes of light, and only caught fish in about 15 of that. Caught three, hooked but lost two others, and had one maybe pound and a half follow worm right up to the bank on a straight retrieve. That one clued me in to how they wanted the presentation though, and the next dozen or so casts resulted in 5 hookups. All from the same spot on the bank! Another milestone... The pic is my first ever Ned rig fish! I kinda like this little turd worm. 14 Quote
BubbaBassin’ Posted July 6, 2018 Posted July 6, 2018 First ever jig fish. Falling in love with this style of fishing. Didn’t even know she was on, but I had a gut feeling that it wasn’t a rock. Set the hook and up she came.Great fight. 2.64lbs and 12 inches. 13 Quote
