Is this fish a snake or what?

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

Yep,but look at it this way if you got a bunch of them around the action may start to get hot while they attempt to put some meat back on their bones. I been getting a few like that here and there. 5lbers that should be 7, or 3 lbers that should be 4.5-5 etc..

BTW nice bertha in your avatar. What did it go for?

Bassin finatic...i see you're from bradenton...i do a lot of fishing in lakewood ranch...anywhere around the area i should check out?

[Bassin_Fin@tic]

Lakewood Ranch huh? Tons of water out there. Most all of it is private and or under construction I fish the town center lake out there every so often but it is a stunted dink hole.If you want to catch 50 .5 lb fish in a few hours thats the place to go LOL,they will bite anything since they are starved. In this area there is a Gravel pit off Honore rd in Sarasota between University and 17th.Runs beside I-75. In an area called the meadows.Killer fishin hole.Electric only. It is all structure fishing though definitely not for the bank beater and a boat is a must.Check out google earth and you can see it. I don't get around a whole lot due to not having proper transportation or a trailer for my boat.I fish mostly small ponds/lakes in this area and am always looking for new holes off the beaten path. PM me if you want to get together or if you know a few little spots out in LWR to hit sometime.

I got a few last year like that and they still weighed 7-9lbs! I can only imagine them full of eggs.

Hey Fin@tic, still waiting on you to come up to my neck of da woods man?

haha bassin fanatic...i've found some nice little holes tucked away in some of the neighborhoods.  The fishing is really good during spawn, but i try to avoid the areas that are over fished.  Unfortunately I don't have a boat, so I'm pretty limited to where I can fish.

The absolute best time to hit the little walk around ponds is during spawn.That way you can get a glimpse of what is actually swimming there.
