Lake Baccarac November 2017 ~ video added

[A-Jay]

Adding the trip video here ~ 

Had to cut out a ton of fish catches otherwise it would have been an hour long.

It's over 30 minutes as it is.

I almost didn't bring the GoPro - Now I'm Really glad I did.

You'll see fish plenty of fish catches as well as scale & camera use.

We like that.

Enjoy.

Awesome vid A Jay!!  I'm so amped up and excited after just watching the first few mins lol.  Definitely bringing my gopro and extra batteries!

I had been looking forward to this report. Great fish and pictures! I can’t wait to sit down and watch the video. Baccarac really is unbelievable.

Epic video A-Jay of your trip! Thanks for sharing what I’d consider to be a trip of a life time cause I’m still shaking my head as I type this.... Wow!

Ooooooooh man. Literally got situated on the couch just right before I read my favorite yearly update. So awesome. Those fish are so big. Jeff looks like he is holding some absolute giants as well.

 

Was that 3/4 oz jig with a fluke skirted for your ten pounder? Video doesn’t look like it has a skirt so it seems it was a 3/4 oz jig head? Jeff that 10.95 was an absolute giant. I just can’t explain how much this video triggers me...

 

Jeff and A-Jay, my wife gave me the go ahead for next Christmas/first of January (not this Christmas, but the next) for another trip. While I will be recruiting my family to go, I think it is time we all meet up!!! I am sure I will be watching this video many more times. AWESOME video and AMAZING fisherman.

Enjoyed the video, the flat calm weather and lots of big bass with life long memories.

Thanks Shimmy ~ and you're right Jeff KILLED it this trip -

 So much so that I'm putting together a separate video just to document his final day catches.  Big Fish Jeff had a phenomenal day that included something like 7-7's 4-8's 3-9's and that 10.95 (his new PB) And most of that came in the morning before lunch !  It was super special and I'm glad I was there to share it.   

 

 Most all the fish were deep - and I mean Deep - 30 - 40 ft on average & deeper.  We were having decent success with swimbaits but they were taking forever to get to the bass.  So we started throwing 3/4 jigs with skirts at first. 1 oz might have been better but we didn't have any.  Then we took the skirts off to get & keep the baits deep and we were getting big fish on big football jigs with 7" Senko, 10" Bull worms & Magnum Flukes.  Did get a few on 10XD and a 1 oz spinnerbait but the big jigs were the winners that weeks for us. 

 

And I'd Love to fish with you my friend.  pm me with what you have in mind.   Right off the bat, I'm looking at late Oct 2018 as a possible 'next one' - I'll miss out on some killer brown bass here but the moon is right & we both know that place is like nothing else  . . . .  nothing.   Still nothing solid yet for me either.

Insane fishing results! Haven't watched the video yet but when I do the urge to go there next year ( which is already bad) will be tough to control.

[roadwarrior]

That's some great video on a trip of a lifetime. 

Congrats to both of you!

Ok, watching it didn't help matters lol. Where else in the states are you going to get those results?

Unless it's private and well managed - not many.

I suppose the simplest & perhaps the best way I could come to offering a glimpse of what it’s like to spend a week at Lake Baccarac – is to say that for any serious Basshead, this place is where Jurassic Park meets Disneyland.

Nice video and awesome description.

 

Bucket list place to visit for sure

[dropped shot]

Most people never catch that many fish that size in their whole life....

[Smokinal]

Ima get down there if it's the last thing I do....
