endless Posted July 25, 2009 Posted July 25, 2009 i'd say bout time for me haha. ive been fishing this pond and only landing lil guys today started off like that caught an 8" bass on a 5" senko so i switch to a popper.never used the hula popper before so i gave it a shot. landed a 3.5 lbs 18.5" to 19" bass. so far this is my biggest to date. fishing beaverdam pond in fort ap hill in caroline, va you know i would thought it to be heavier.

endless Posted July 25, 2009 Author Posted July 25, 2009 nice fish, you kept it? thank you and sadly i had to give it away. i usually catch and release but i never really had a chance to save him he took the popper all the way. all that flopping i think must of damage him to much.my line finally snap and when i did try to get the popper out he was swallowing it. i put him in the water to see if would swim off but never did so i took him to my bait shop near where i live and some people took him. if nobody did take him then yea i would kept it and just fillet it. never had bass before but i dont like killing to kill. especially over a $5 lure. so i just got a picture of me holding it to show the whole fish and me. its hard trying to get a good pic of you and the fish when your taking the photo too.lol the lady at tackle shop took one too. she posts pictures in her tackle shop.

Always nice to catch your PB, makes the day that much better to. i no i was having a ruff start too. hard time leaving the house. was trying to get out there at 6 in the morning than when did lost my jig. my senko. no activity happening, nothing was jumping in the water, couldnt tie a freakin knot to save my life. but its all good now. ima probally go hit it this evening but its will be 95 degrees today so im not sure if they will be in the same spot. i think the spot fishing is no more than maybe 6 feet. but its always shade ther covering the water and its the only spot that has all the cover surroundings.

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 26, 2009 Super User Posted July 26, 2009 Try bending the barbs down on your lures. Bent barbs makes removal much, much easier. Don't worry about not being able to hook the fish with a bent barb. Keep your line tight during the fight and she'll stay on. Quote
