basscaster88 Posted March 19, 2010 Posted March 19, 2010 So i went out to a local pond today. When i went earlier in the week i got a nice 3 pounder and a big 5 or 6 pound spat my plastic out on a jump heartbreaker. That was monday. I went to other places tuesday and wensday and today i went back to that pond. It was goin slow and steady but a great day for fishing! It was about 65 or 70 degrees with the sun out and a little wind. For the entire day i was getting a lot of bites from small fish and a few from large bass... Saw a few monster grass carp skimming the top traveling in 8's or so.(each about 20-30 pounds in case anyone is wondering). ANYWAYS! on to the point. the day was winding down and i wasn't completely disappointed since i was getting lots of bites in cold water. Towards the end i was "sight fishing" if you will. And the bass i could see weren't goin for my gary yamamoto kinami plastic.(black and redish pink) so i had enough of that game so i took a long cast in some deep water and sure enough WAM!! a 6.5 pounder nailed that kinami with such force the kinami was way above the line by the time i got that thing in. Tried to keep it low so it wouldn't toss the hook like the other one did earlier in the week. but boy was it pulling that line out when i was trying to reel in. I texas rigged the kinami with a light bullet weight. and used fairly long pauses in between small tugs. Oh boy did my confidence for the week rise there! Sorry for the length of the post. I just can't wait to get back out there for the big bite again! Quote

basscaster88 Posted March 21, 2010 Author Posted March 21, 2010 Ha well it just slingshoted me into the season but this weekend has been a DOWNER....all last week temps were 60 and above....today....25 with blowing snow... still caught 8 LMB...(yes i went haha). And Illinois has more than 6lbs in it trust me.. A classmate of mine holds the record out at a lake for the largest largemouth to ever be caught there. I'm preety sure its 13lbs 1oz. not sure on the ounces but i know it was 13 pounds. The record for a fish to be RECORDED anyways... March Madness has brought mad weather and sort of ruined the fishing trip today...come onnnn aprillll Quote
