New 2 Bass Posted March 22, 2007 Posted March 22, 2007 Dude. Nobody is giving you static at the golf courses? I get heat all the time. Great fish. I'm going to have to schedule an appointment to fish with you!!! ;D Al Quote
Anglin Posted March 22, 2007 Author Posted March 22, 2007 nope not really today was really overcast and rainy so not to many golfers were playing through. nearly got pegged by a golf ball though..lol . i just try to stay out of there way and they dont give me to much flack. i just put in the numbers into the fish weight calculator here on bassresource and its supposed to weigh 10.67 lbs 8-). i wonder how accurate that thing really is?

Super User T-rig Posted March 22, 2007 Super User Posted March 22, 2007 Nice fish but looks more like 8.5lb. Quote
Lightninrod Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 The BR calculator is way too optimistic :-?. Hard to tell from the pics but I'm thinking it's closer to 6-7 lbs? In any case, it's a very nice Bass! Dan Quote
Gotta Love It Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 That is one nice fish!! I can't believe you can fish lakes on a golf course! All the courses here make you leave!!! Quote
bigdog Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I have the twin sister on my wall. same deminsions mine was 8-2 but that was early march in STL.MO... Quote
BucketmouthAngler13 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Nice fish! Most of the courses around here dont let you fish. So the only way to get the bass out is to get really good with a driver and projectile golf balls at schools of bass. ;D Quote
Clayton Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 Good fish, but not 10 like the BR calc suggest. Probably 7. Either way good fish. Quote
Super User burleytog Posted March 23, 2007 Super User Posted March 23, 2007 I've often thought about stowing a 2 piece rod in my golf bag when playing. Go out late in the evening, play a couple of holes, and spend the rest of the time fishing. My friend lives on a course, has an acre pond in front of his house. There are some goood fish in there. Course ponds should be quite productive as the water should be fertile (given course runoff). Quote
Super User Sam Posted March 23, 2007 Super User Posted March 23, 2007 I have fished Congressional Country Club's ponds in Bethesda, Maryland. I was allowed to fish it because they are one of my clients and I could only fish until the first tee time, around 8 AM. I managed to extend the time to around 9 AM as I could fish the pond by the 15th green on the Blue Course before the players arrived. I have been denied fishing all other golf course ponds. So, if you want to fish the ponds I would think you could do so early in the morning before the golfers start to play the course. Quote
G_Money_FL Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 If you have the ability to fish a golf course, cherish it. I am lucky enough to have access to a 36 hole course. It is extremely productive. No fishing pressure Healthy, strong fish Well maintained banks What more could you want? Quote
Bassassasin12 Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 wow thats a really nice fish for a golf course pond. Defenitly in between the 6-8 pound range. Great Catch! Quote
SneakySnook Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 WOW! WTG! Nice looking fish. What kind of rod is that? Quote
CrazedL.IFisherman Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Very nice bass they look really healthy, ive fished a few gold course ponds near me and have caught some nice bass but man your fish are amazing, keep hitting those spots and good luck man Quote
ring fry Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 If you all would get up as early as us greenscutters you could catch a lot of fish on golf course ponds. Being a golf course superintendent, I have caught fish on every course I have worked at. Fifteen minutes here and there, lunch, whenever. I have carried a rod in my bag many times when playing a scramble that are usually sssllllllloooooooowwwwwww. People usually laugh when they see a rod in my bag, but change their tune when I catch 2 or 3 fish when waiting to tee off. Speaking of which, I am at work right now, I might just go make a couple of casts right now. By the way, nice fish! Quote
New 2 Bass Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Yo Anglin101 I bet that golf ball was no accident. I have a feeling you were targeted. Next time, moon 'em. ;D Al Quote
ratLtrapEnthusiast Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Yea I was with him and that golf ball hit the water about 3 feet from him. That bass was ridiculously large, Anglin101 is a pretty big dude, so when he holds fish he makes them look small. If my skinny self was holding it, it would look like the FL record lol. Quote
earthworm77 Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Good fish, I'll back Dan up, its about 6.5/7lbs or so. Quote
