Comfortably Numb Posted September 12, 2014 Posted September 12, 2014 Been a bad summer for fishing in central Virginia. Went to a lake known to be stingy but has some big bass. Started with a four pounder on a Rage rigged 702 craw I injected. No other bites till a 24" 6-10 bit my home made 5" stick bait. Fish jumped and thought I had a ten pounder. Head and mouth were huge. She never jumped again and did not put up much of a fight. She was long and skinny. Must be old or sick. Looks like I am eating well though Took some pics and forgot camera was on macro mode 2 Quote
Super User Catch and Grease Posted September 12, 2014 Super User Posted September 12, 2014 Wow still a big fish! Definitely some good eaten! Quote
Kevin Beachy Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Wow! Where do you live in central Va. I live down here close to Staunton and there are big bass in the farm ponds around here! Quote
missouribigbass Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 That's a great fish. A fish that length he here could weigh 9lbs. She's definitely skinny. Great catch Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted September 14, 2014 Super User Posted September 14, 2014 Ugh... Awesome fish but skinny most often means a belly full of plastics. She probably won't live too much longer unfortunately. Quote
Super User everythingthatswims Posted September 14, 2014 Super User Posted September 14, 2014 The blurry photo does a great job of concealing your location! Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted September 15, 2014 Author Posted September 15, 2014 Ruritan in Central VA. This small lake is highly managed by the county. Lots of nutrients asre added and water is peas soup green. Most fish are footballs. Lots of pressure but many just panfish. Here is a 19" 4# I got a different outing. Quote
