Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 26, 2015 Global Moderator Posted September 26, 2015 The numbers have not been there lately, but the quality is really starting to show up lately. Thursday was the toughest day I fished this week, but it also produced my largest bass of the year so far. I was stubborn and spent too much time fishing memories instead of the conditions at hand. Once I finally switched we caught more fish in the last 2 hours than the whole rest of the day. The big girl bit right at 3pm and gave a heck of a fight. She was very thick and felt very heavy when I got a grip of her jaw. I'd been fishing a dark colored bladed jig all day until I finally made the switch to one of my baits in Golden Shiner color, which is what I caught a majority of my fish on. There was no doubt she was going to eat it. Friday was a little better for numbers and I got a couple nice ones. This was just a small, local lake that we fish Thursday night tournaments on. I didn't fish Thursday night but there was a big fish caught so I thought I'd try my luck. I fished 3 hours and had a 15 pound bag with a 3lb 10oz and 4lb 4oz fish being the biggest. Flipping a lime-purple passion Pit Boss into the water willows was the best technique as it usually is on this lake. 6 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 27, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted September 27, 2015 She thumped that blade bait! Nice work, great fish Bluebasser.. It's been a long dry spell with no big fish on my bladed jigs, then I catch that one, which is the second largest bass I've caught on one of my bladed jigs. They love them on the lake I was fishing. It's just a matter of time before I catch a real monster on one from out there. Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted September 28, 2015 Author Global Moderator Posted September 28, 2015 Didn't get any video of the big girl unfortunately, but I did get the following day when I caught the other two fish. Enjoy the cat-like reflexes at 5:38. The 2 bigger fish in the video where caught on a Havoc Pit Boss dipped in chartreuse JJ's Magic fished on 50lb Seaguar Braid with a Okuma Scott Martin TCS "Matt Daddy" rod with an Okuma Cerros Reel. 1 Quote
