DINK WHISPERER Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Yes, just one.............can i fish with you!?! J/K, congrats man!!! Quote
BlakeMolone Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Awsome! how big is the pond? Were there big bass in there before you stocked it? What did you catch the fish on? Mabey someday you will get a dd bass outa there! Quote
-HAWK- Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 So let me get this straight. You "FRESHLY" stocked a small private pond in Illinois 3 years ago, and the pond is already producing 8.5lb bass? Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 Just two. 1) Where in Northern Ill.? 2) Can I come with you one day? Quote
tyrius. Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 do you have any questions? Yes, is your scale accurate? Quote
Tokyo Tony Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 do you have any questions? Yes, is your scale accurate? And did you take pictures? Quote

Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 Look, yesterday we poked a little fun at you. You were advised by one of the mods to help along the way and the thread was closed. It appears that you didn't heed the advice given, so I will try to help you out. For those of you that know me, I know this is a stretch. ;D It's great that you are excited about bass fishing. Telling "fishing stories" is part of the game, but they have to be marginally close to the truth. Seriously, take a look at what you wrote and tell me that you are being remotely honest about your day? If not, man up and say it wasnt entirely the truth. If you still think it's the truth, well.... : Your future interactions on here might not be as courteous. ;D Really, chill out and enjoy the place. Dont stink it up with Quote
IdahoLunkerHunter Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Three year old 8lbers. They must be like my bass up my way. I saw a couple last weekend laying in bed watching Simpson's drinking beer and eating porkrinds... freaked me out too! Quote
pondmaster32 Posted May 29, 2009 Author Posted May 29, 2009 ok, i did not catch that many, but i did some of the big ones. this lake has been stocked for years. but then we had a fish kill and a lot of bass died. so just to be sure, we stocked again and the bass have grown quikly to nice 2 to 3 pounds. that 8 pounder i caught last year suprised me because i thought most of the big bass were dead. i think we caught 60 total but i caught about 30 or 35 and my friend caught about 30 or so. we also had perfect conditions. this pond is not to big so the bass are easy to find and easy to catch them. so yeah, i went a little over board. i got a little excited about this site and i wanted some attention from some other anglers. im also new and i think a lot of other anglers will make a fish story. so in all this story was only half true and i now how to act on this site a lot better.

Super User CWB Posted May 29, 2009 Super User Posted May 29, 2009 Much better! X2 Trust me. The guys on here know their stuff, especially the B.S. part. Most are experts at it themselves. Like the saying "you can't kid a kidder", you can't B.S. a B.S.er. (Is that a word?) I know 8lb+ bass are caught in northern Ill, I even had one on I would have guessed was that big, but it's not exactly common. Bring a camera and snap a quick pic or 2. Worth a thousand words. Word of advise. Start your sentences with capital letters and use the spellcheck feature. Quote
mattm Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 While were on the truth serum did you actually weigh the fish on a scale or are you guesstimating? Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 you did something I've never seen another fisherman do. you didn't stick with your lie! this post must be a first on this site. Quote
Dad_Golf_Fish Posted May 29, 2009 Posted May 29, 2009 Bring a camera and snap a quick pic or 2. Worth a thousand words. I bought a cheap drugstore digital camera ($9.99) for just this purpose and keep it on the boat in the glove box. Last week I was on the boat by myself and caught a monster bass (must of been 20 pounds : ). I held it up best I could, even with my super-human strength, extended the camera out with my other arm and snapped the picture. I rushed home and downloaded the pics to my laptop only to find a picture of myself with my arm out to the side, cut off at the elbow right where the fish should have shown up. When I get home from work, I'll upload the picture, and you can use your imagination where the fish should have been. EDIT - Sorry for the bad cut/paste on the quote :-[ Also -photo of mentioned monster fish Quote
CJ Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Wow! I guess I should have only read half of the story... Quote
Dad_Golf_Fish Posted May 30, 2009 Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, it was 20 pounds if it was a pound and a half (which it was ;D ) Quote
