Popular Post brgbassmaster Posted January 9, 2018 Popular Post Posted January 9, 2018 Epic day today out at the hidden spot here in arizona. Biggest bag of my life 30lb 10oz. My previous PB bag was also out here. 27.5lbs. Finally beat that. Epic day. 11 bass caught. Strike king 6xd in chilli craw and an unknown brand my buddy had in tilapia were the tickets today. The picture with my buddy holding the small bass and the big one was one of our serious culls lol. We ended up culling a 5lbr out too later. 34 4 Quote

MichaelCopeland Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Awesomeness! Congratulations on a new PB bag o bass! Definitely some big uns! My dad and stepmom live in Gilbert, AZ. Are you anywhere near there? I'm hoping to get to go visit them out there some day and do some bass fishing. Been a long time since I've fished with my dad. Quote
Dorado Posted January 9, 2018 Posted January 9, 2018 Cool pics. I know exactly where you’re at and your secret is safe with me partna. That place is inundated with Tilapia. I’d love to join ya someday. PM me if you’re interested. -Fellow AZ angler. Quote
Super User senile1 Posted January 9, 2018 Super User Posted January 9, 2018 Amazing! Those are some extraordinary fish! I am curious what is the main forage that these bass are chowing down on. The post above mine arrived while I was typing. I think maybe I have my answer on the forage? Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted January 10, 2018 Super User Posted January 10, 2018 Wow! You got some hawgs right there! Quote

Got a couple videos I'll put something together. My buddy's that he got from the back were not on film unfortunately cuz my old navigation port mount broke and my aquastick hasn't came in yet. 6 hours ago, senile1 said: Amazing!

I think maybe I have my answer on the forage? Tilapia and shad are the main forage. Millions of tilapia in here from 4" to 4lbs. That's the big bass stuff right there. From what I read if there is good tilapia base in a lake then the bass usually grow big and here it's rare to find a fish under 5lbs. 3 Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted January 10, 2018 Global Moderator Posted January 10, 2018 Crazy fat fish. Do they fight very well? Most of them look so fat that they seem like they'd have a difficult time even swimming. 3 Quote

Right? Lol na I'll sacrifice. The 8+lbrs fight once water gets into the 60s. Right now water temp is "cold" according to the arizonians at 58F. They talk about slowing down while I'm burning 6xds ?? 2 Quote
