demonjd22 Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 How's everyone doing today. First time poster, longtime lurker (been trying to soak up knowledge like a sponge), so i figured i'd finally introduce myself when i had something to contribute. I'm just a poor college kid that loves to fish whenever I get a chance. ;D But now to the meat of this story, I didnt mean to "lure" ya guys in here with that title (that pun is so corny it made me chuckle) but a warm spell hit us up here in Northern NJ so me and a buddy decided to get some time on the water. We go to a small 5-6 acre lake my buddy lives on and get out on the water. Within 5 minutes of being out there I hook up with a 3-4 lb largemouth on a carolina rigged 6 inch natural color creme worm off a small island. To my chagrin, the fish throws the hook when it leaps out the water. Rest of the day after throwing whatevers in our tackle box, and just not putting fish in the boat we call it a day and decide to try a little catfishing from shore. Low tech, splitshot and hotdogs worked great. I dont really know how to resize pics from the digital camera from over a meg to 150kb, so i just posted them on that photo sharing site Flickr. Maybe someone could pm me a how to on the pic resizing? Anyway heres the results http://www.flickr.com/photos/7943016@N04/. Needless to say I was pretty pumped as these fish were the first of this season for me. Next post will be a lot less longer and have pics of some bass I promise. I just wanted to introduce myself, and heres to hoping everyone's keeping those rods doubled. Quote

Fish Chris Posted April 23, 2007 Posted April 23, 2007 Welcome :-) Those are some nice big Kitties you got there ! Looks like you had a really fun trip. You might find a few guys here that only fish for bass.... But I'm not one of those guys. If it will bite me hook and rip drag, I'm always down with it ! :-) I've been thinking about trying for a monster cat myself lately. Continued success to you :-) Fish Chris Quote

Don't hold that again me. : I love to bass fish but look out in a couple of weeks the big bluegill will be on the bank in front of my house. That's a blast too.
