Lightninrod Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Went to my former boss's pond this afternoon; high 80s, light wind, partly cloudy. and bright sunshine. Tried several lures at the deep end and then mid-pond with no takers. Got to the shallow(3-4'), upper end and started throwing a Viva Pencil(Japanese, 1/4 oz popper) lure. She rolled on it at about 3:30 PM but I didn't know it was a nice one until I got her to the shore. Got 2 or 3 more small ones on the same bait and then headed home. Dan Quote
edbassmaster Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 Awesome!! I guess the fish near you have spawned? Quote
Guest avid Posted April 19, 2007 Posted April 19, 2007 viva la pencil. didn't we have a few posts about pencil poppers being bigtime saltwater lures that never really made it in freshwater form? Maybe it's an idea whose time has come. way to git er done Mr. Imus. I mean Dan. Quote
Lightninrod Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 I really don't know if they've spawned out yet :-/. I'm guessing some have and some haven't? Thanks guys and Avid, ya got me 8-). Dan Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 20, 2007 Super User Posted April 20, 2007 Did you measure the length? That looks to me like the biggest, or at least longest bass you have ever posted. Man, you're on a roll...Keep it up! Quote
Super User T-rig Posted April 20, 2007 Super User Posted April 20, 2007 That is a loooong fish man and what a head! Congrats Dan! 8-) Quote
Lightninrod Posted April 20, 2007 Author Posted April 20, 2007 Forgot to post she weighed 6 lbs, 5 ozs. and was 25" long. Her head was huge compared to her body. My former boss, has added forage fish and two feeders to help grow the Bass. Quote
Fishin Phil Posted April 20, 2007 Posted April 20, 2007 Look at the head on that thing!! Nice fish. Quote
Super User Dan: Posted April 20, 2007 Super User Posted April 20, 2007 it looks like a bobble head, nice fish. Quote
Cigarlover 1 Posted April 21, 2007 Posted April 21, 2007 That's a really nice fish! You can tell in the last pic how big the head is compared to the rest of the body. It almost looks deformed. Hope you're having some nice cigars after catching all these nice fish. Quote
Lightninrod Posted April 21, 2007 Author Posted April 21, 2007 Hope you're having some nice cigars after catching all these nice fish. Wink A Partagas Lusitania for sure! Dan Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted April 21, 2007 Super User Posted April 21, 2007 Very nice fish, but JUST as important, LOOK AT THAT ROD AND REEL COMBO! Quote
Lightninrod Posted April 22, 2007 Author Posted April 22, 2007 Thanks Robert. It's a MB F5-66X Bearing Down rod and a Daiwa Pixy(tuned by DR, becoming a Pixilla!) Dan Quote
preach4bass Posted April 22, 2007 Posted April 22, 2007 Lightningrod, I hate to hijack this thread, but I've got to ask you this. Is that Imus in your little side picture beneath your name? By the way, nice bass. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted April 22, 2007 Super User Posted April 22, 2007 Imus? heck no! That's Dan when he had long hair. Quote

By the way, nice bass. Yep, that's him and thanks. I changed my avatar in his support right after he got screwed. Robert: I've still got my wavy hair that grows long except I like it cut short. Wait until you get my age and you might just be glad for any hair.... Dan Quote
