Weld's Largemouth Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 Great Video - Thanks for sharing it - But PLEASE ~ do yourself a huge favor and invest the $15 Bucks and get a Fish Grip. You're going to get one eventually, might as well save yourself a trip to the ER - Besides, trebles in the hand are not exactly a good time. A-Jay http://www.amazon.com/dp/B009NOWZPW/ref=twister_B00C8DNVBM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1 Thanks, I will invest in one.. Someday lol You know what they say about us younguns, we are risk takers Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 those are some studs right there. and that is an awesome looking bed in that little canal. would love to see the fish that made that. There was a ~5 lb tilapia sitting on it before I spooked her off. Cant seem to catch them on anything... All they eat is weeds Quote

Weld's Largemouth Posted April 8, 2015 Author Posted April 8, 2015 You're Welcome ~ And if something happens - and it doesn't happen, my offer still stands. A-Jay Thank you. I may even just get a net... It will help me land those fish off that bulkhead too 1 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted April 8, 2015 Super User Posted April 8, 2015 Thank you. I may even just get a net... It will help me land those fish off that bulkhead too Good Idea - And here's a little extra info to help you make the right choice the first time. I like a rubber bag as it's easy on the fish and treble hook friendly. (Tangle Free) A-Jay http://www.lake-link.com/propointers/pointer.cfm/4/The-Real-Scoop-On-Landing-Nets/ Quote
OntarioFishingGuy Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Nice fish! And yeah, a net would be a great idea. I hardly ever go fishing anywhere with out one. 1 Quote

Weld's Largemouth Posted April 9, 2015 Author Posted April 9, 2015 Great day today! Went to BPS this morning, picked up some spinnerbaits, jigs, terminal tackle, and some Mann's 12" jelly worms with big worm hooks. Went out caught some good fish ranging from 3-4.5 lbs on spinnerbaits until I tied on the Mann's Jelly worm. Tossed it along the bulkhead in 3 ft of water and saw my PB dive out and slam it. She weighed 7lb 6oz Check out the photos: http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/154898-new-pb-time/#entry1744295 2 Quote
Shanes7614 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Use live night crawlers if you want to catch the tilapia. 1 Quote
Jmoose Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Briefly went out this afternoon to see if anybody wanted a mid day snack... I'll be heading to a different pond this evening. This one weighed 4 1/2 lbs.. could have had a couple more pounds on her with a head like that This one weighed 3 1/2 lbs and ate this bluegill swijig with a vertically rigged ragetail menace- first time catching using this as a trailer That jig in his mouth though. Nice pic! 2 Quote
Bill77 Posted April 9, 2015 Posted April 9, 2015 Wow you guys are catching some great fish in Florida. The year round spawning really produces big fish. Keep it up! 2 Quote

Weld's Largemouth Posted April 10, 2015 Author Posted April 10, 2015 Had a great time throwing lipless cranks this evening! This 15" bass didn't seem to know how big he was... I also caught this really cool tilapia on a grub. I was so surprised because the tilapia never eat lures. New video will be coming tomorrow, stay tuned! 2 Quote
Super User geo g Posted April 10, 2015 Super User Posted April 10, 2015 Keep those pics coming. You guys are doing great! 1 Quote
Weld's Largemouth Posted April 11, 2015 Author Posted April 11, 2015 Last report, flying home today Things were getting quite slow, the bass weren't biting as well so I decided to try out a new lure: a Strikeking 3XD. Most ponds here are very shallow but one is almost deep enough for this deep diving crank. I was surprised when I caught this little guy: As I was finishing up I decided to tie on a jig and pitch into holes surrounded by thick weed mats. Pitched my jig in, felt a hard thump and set the hook: She weighed 5lb 3 oz Thanks to all of you who have followed this thread and I hope you have enjoyed the reports! Things were a little slower than usual at my ponds, probably due to the extremely low water levels, yet I still managed to get my PB, and MIBassin managed his as well. Not as many fish compared to previous trips.. 38 fish over 14" total between MIBassin and I, with many <14" fish in between...Seemed like mainly the biguns showed up rather than the smaller bass this time around, which is something I'm not complaining about 3 fish between 1-2 lbs 10 fish between 2-3 lbs 7 fish between 3-4 lbs 11 fish between 4-5 lbs 5 fish between 5-6 lbs 1 fish between 6-7 lbs (MIBassin's PB of 6lb 1oz) 1 fish between 7-8 lbs (My PB of 7lb 6oz) Back to my old job... catching the NY State record 3 Quote
