Fish Chris Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Taken totally by accident.... I had reached up to hit the timer button on my camera, then sat back down... but thought I missed the button. So, as I stand back up to hit the button again... "Flash" ! Doh ! Anyway, it was a big fish..... 13.4 I think.... But if I told you this was a head shot of a 20.6 some guy caught down in So Cal, wouldn't you believe it ? :-) Oh yea... maybe it was the 20.6 that I caught.... just forgot about that one I guess LOL Peace, Fish Quote
Super User senile1 Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Wow, that thing has a massive head! Cool pic, Chris. Quote
northern basser Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Man I'm jealous. We have a lot of good fishing oppurtunities here in MN, but giant bass isn't one of them. I've caught 4 bass in my lifetime that were 6#8oz. , my PB. If you catch a 7lber. in MN your doing good. Quote
Fish Chris Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 Yea', like I say, it was a big fish.... It's just that that particular photo makes it look like the head of a "world class bass" I think this was a regular photo of it.... Peace, Fish Quote
moby bass Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Nice! I notice the lure in his mouth. That is quite large also. Big baits for big fish. What other equipment were you using when you caught him? Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted January 21, 2011 Super User Posted January 21, 2011 Its amazing what that one little tiny stretch of bank on the left will tell you, lol. Very cool pic! Quote
Fish Chris Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Hey Moby, just a heavy action spinning rod (about like inshore saltwater) and 50 lb braid. My normal stuff for heavy swimbaits. Certainly not required for the bass..... heck, if I would use a micro-light for Sturgeon ! Hey Bizz, yea.... What it says is, that stretch, on that pond "used to produce some big bass"..... back in the good ol' days. Oh well. Glad I was there Peace, Fish Quote
Super User bilgerat Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 Good grief, that looks like one of those bass mailboxes (that my wife won't even consider ;D) Quote

Steve put me on one hell of a scrawny 9-10 though, lol. I havent been there for years. I just thought it was funny how the tiniest little slice of bank is so instantly recognizable. Did she come off of the "other " dam? Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 Here she is. Just another cool bucket face shot. Sure would have like to have caught her at her prime. Quote
Branuss04 Posted January 22, 2011 Posted January 22, 2011 Last time I went there they kicked me out. I'll never go again. :-[ Quote
Fish Chris Posted January 22, 2011 Author Posted January 22, 2011 Branuss, why ? Did you have an outboard mounted to your boat ? (I hate that rule Just because of that, I can't use my new(er) boat, but have to borrow my old boat back from my buddy, since the motor is light enough to take off of it.... The people that run Rancho have always been super cool with me though. Peace, Fish Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted January 22, 2011 Super User Posted January 22, 2011 They will not let you fish after the gates close unless you have a camping permit. It turns out that this has been one of their rules for years, they have just never enforced it. So now its like $30 to nightfish instead $5. Quote
Super User bassfisherjk Posted January 23, 2011 Super User Posted January 23, 2011 Neat picture Chris,Thanks. Quote
WdyCrankbait Posted January 23, 2011 Posted January 23, 2011 Good grief, that looks like one of those bass mailboxes (that my wife won't even consider ;D) HAHah, yeah it does! Too bad on the mailbox thing. Quote

It turns out that this has been one of their rules for years, they have just never enforced it. So now its like $30 to nightfish instead $5. Yep, that is why I got kicked out. The reason why I won't go there again is because the guy was being a male genitalia after I told him to sign me up for the camping permit and he said the gates are closed and I couldn't purchase one. He said if we weren't gone when he made his next loop he would call the "authorities". > Quote
