Josh Jones 9 pound smallmouth

[king fisher]

Anyone know where this bass caught?

 

[AlabamaSpothunter]

Dworkshak Reservoir in Idaho 

 

He's been going there for a few years now.   Has caught 8s before.  

 

Long ways to go for 11.15

That makes sense.  Rumor has it that they electro shocked one that was over 12 pounds at Dworkshak.  I thought maybe Jones caught this one at Lake Menderchuck.

No idea who that guy is but what a fish!

He's Facbook famous.  Has a knack for putting DDs in the boat, and for a not insignificant price, he'll put you on them, too.  As noted in a different thread, I don't do numbers well....but I seem to recall that he has literally hundreds of 10# plus LMB catches.  Seemed to get bored with that and now chases records.

He lives the most charmed Bass fishing life I could imagine.   He deserves it though as he was the pioneer of FFS.    A guy like you who also lives an amazingly charmed fishing life can relate I'm sure 😎

 

He either recently got back or is going to South Africa in the near future specifically looking for the next WR.

he's fishing special waters for special fish and putting in a lot of hours to do it. He isn't lying about putting in 15-16 hour days on the regular when he's away from guiding. If it were that easy everyone would be doing it

 

I think I'm just as impressed by @A-Jay on the regular if we're being real about it, if he had the sort of time JJ does he'd be showing out about the same or better

That is a monster. There is a youtube of a guy with a 40+lb 5 fish limit from Dworshak. In that video he culled a few fish over 7lbs. Just a crazy fishery.

I must go here.  Its only about a 6 hour dive.

Nothing surprising with Josh Jones.

The guy puts huge fish in the boat consistently.

And the Elites series can't come to the Northwest because it would be to long of a drive?  They need to come up with a better excuse.

Good gravy. Cheers to that.

Pretty sure I stumbled upon this guy's youtube channel just last weekend.

 

Seemed like all he was doing was using FFS so I stopped watching.

He was one of the first to take scoping out into the abyss for giant largemouth. Came from the crappie scene. You can be assured that all his content will have him expertly using ffs and be boring as heck to watch, but his success is undeniable.

Dworshak.  Josh and Joey Walton (Dworshak local) were butting heads on IG recently, fighting over spot poaching each other. 

 

I'd love to give it a try, but it's a 31hr haul for me so probably a no go.
