Super User David P Posted August 9, 2009 Super User Posted August 9, 2009 I haven't posted on here in a while, especially the outings section. To be honest, there hasn't been much for me to post. Bunch of 5 and 6 pounders, but just couldn't find the same quality that I was catching last year. Did finally manage one decent one the other day so I figured I'd post it up. She went 9lbs4oz.

Steven Ladner Posted August 9, 2009 Posted August 9, 2009 That is one nice toad right there. Thanks for sharing! Quote
Rand Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Thats a hawg. I wish that I could consider " not much to talk about " as 5 and 6 pounders. DO WORK Rand Quote
Super User Fishing Rhino Posted August 10, 2009 Super User Posted August 10, 2009 Interesting water surface in the background. Does that happen much in California? Do you realize there are programs that can "unedit" photos posted on the 'net? If you are trying to hide the background so as to not give away a location, there are ways to get around the edit. I don't know what they are, but I recall someone posting a picture with the background altered, and another poster used the program, unedited the photo and posted it. The original poster was none too pleased. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 How many people are looking at backgrounds in other people's pics to try to find a good fishing spot? Lol, right now all over California these invasive anglers are planning their trip to YOUR SPOT! OH no! Quote

Lol, right now all over California these invasive anglers are planning their trip to YOUR SPOT! OH no! Not sure if you're taking a shot at me, but the answer is a LOT. Not sure if this isn't an issue in Texas, but here in Cali, it most certainly is. No need to post on a matter that you really don't understand. I've had a body of water RUINED from photos being posted. Actually, make that TWO bodies of water. As for the post above, I would love to see someone unedit the photo posted. If someone is going to be THAT desperate, and spend that much time, then they need all the help they can get. Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted August 10, 2009 Super User Posted August 10, 2009 Nice bass. You can really post some pictures of those 5 & 6 lb. bass , we won't make fun of you . Those 5 & 6 lb fish are almost trophies here in Ohio. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted August 10, 2009 Super User Posted August 10, 2009 I've had a body of water RUINED from photos being posted.Me too. I don't blame you, man. Its not as bad up here, but when it comes to winter trout fishing, spot burn can be really bad. you post a pic on the web, and the next day you see a bunch of out of state plates in the parking lot, LOL. Its impossible to "unedit" a JPEG. Once the change is made and the image file is saved, the changes are permanent. Anyway, nice fish, I can't get enough of those Cali slobs - keep posting them up.

Nothing personal, but if I lived in CA, I would totally ninja your fishing spot if you're considering 5-6 lbers nothing special. EDIT: Almost forgot, d**n nice fish. Quote
mrlitetackle Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 thats one NICE fish man!!!! and im sure your spot will remain in secrecy. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 I wasn't taking a shot at you, I just think its crazy that people would do this. How could it be a 'secret' that a certain body of water held big fish? You couldn't be the first person to catch a big fish there. I guess its just odd to me because it doesn't seem to be an issue here in Texas. The guides on nearly all of the lakes post their bass pictures and the patterns their catching them with. Maybe if all of the cali anglers carried guns on their boats it would solve the problem? Anyways, sorry to hijack the thread. What I meant to say was "nice fish man" Quote

Maybe if all of the cali anglers carried guns on their boats it would solve the problem? Anyways, sorry to hijack the thread. What I meant to say was "nice fish man" It's not the body of water, it's the specific location. There's TWO issues with showing where bigger fish are being caught. The more important of the two for me, is bucket fisherman. On almost every body of water out here are a TON of bucket fisherman. They keep EVERYTHING they eat, and they use live bait. Live bait in areas where there's a large amount of quality fish, is not a good scenario. The second issue is I have 3 tournaments coming up this month, and would rather not have 20 baits from 20 boats hitting each spot because they know there's a big fish there. I understand in most states it may not be an issue, but a LOT of guys out here do it, because it is an issue. There are some photos I have posted where I haven't edited the pictures. My avatar is me holding a 13lber caught on the same body of water. But there's nothing very recognizable to where I think it would harm anything. I edit photos that I believe could give a spot away and potentially cause there to be guys out there catching and keeping. Hope this clears things up a little bit. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted August 10, 2009 Super User Posted August 10, 2009 Ditch the scale...That bass is easily 12 lbs! ;D ;D ;D Quote
BassmanDan Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 Great looking fish- congrats...if you don't want to give up your spot, how about line, lure, depth, time of day and retrieve? Quote
YaHoo Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 i know what you mean brokeju about tourney time! Ive shared info with the wrong people before and had good schooling spots hit hard where the fish wouldnt hit anything you through at em! and ESPECIALLY around tourney time! anyways nice fish! couldnt imagine 5-6 lbers not photo worthy! i take pictures of 13 inchers! almost made a post with my 1st carolina rig bass who was a mighty 10incher! Quote
Super User Dan: Posted August 10, 2009 Super User Posted August 10, 2009 I completely understand the problem, Brokeju. Nice fish. And the un-editing stuff is bull honkey. Like JFrancho said, once a jpg is saved it is flattened. Un-editing it would be like trying to manipulate a photograph to see what was behind a person. The data just isn't there. Quote
Super User David P Posted August 11, 2009 Author Super User Posted August 11, 2009 Ditch the scale...That bass is easily 12 lbs! ;D ;D ;D I wish RW! She had a belly too, which you can't see too well in the photos. I stupidly didn't get measurements, but she wasn't 12 unfortunately. Thanks for making me feel a little less bummed that she fell short of a DD! I thought she would go 10 1/2 when I pulled her up. Quote
t0n3 Posted August 11, 2009 Posted August 11, 2009 amazing fish! i'm still fishing for my first big bass, although i don't think they get that big in michigan! Quote

I will pm you so you can save your spot. VERY nice fish Quote
