Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 28, 2010 Super User Posted March 28, 2010 my dad and i took the boat out for the first time this year. it was terribly windy and didn't look like it was going to be a good day. but not too long into the trip my dad hooked up with a nice little 1 pounder. then it got really slow and we moved down to the other side of the lake and i caught this awesome 5lb 10oz bass on a DT 10 pulling it over dead lily pads: release: little bit further down the shore we found a nice spot where my dad caught another 1 pounder, i caught a dinky bass about 10 inches or so, and then my dad hooked a monster 27", 3lb 15oz pickerel (scale reads 3-12 in the pic but it was settled on 3-15 before he lifted it for the pic): we tried going up a productive creek but the wind drove us out, and we headed back to the truck and stopped one last time, where my dad caught a little hammer handle pickerel and dropped it as he was lifting it in the boat, and i caught a pickerel about 16" or so. all in all a great day, despite the crazy wind.

Super User dodgeguy Posted March 28, 2010 Super User Posted March 28, 2010 looks like a good day of early spring fishing to me. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 28, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 28, 2010 thanks! we're taking the boat back to that lake after easter dinner can't wait. my dad caught a 5lb 8oz bass there last year after easter dinner. Quote
hookset on 3 Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 .dsa, nice lunker ya got there. The underwater shot came out really clear.Makes the bass look bigger! After Easter, more photos would be good. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 29, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 29, 2010 hopefully i'll have some fish worth taking pictures of by then! Quote
shimmy Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Great fish. Just beautiful. You can tell thats a big fish for that lake. Reminds me of Minnesota bass, where there length is stunted and the big girls are only 20-21 inches but fat all the way down to the tail. Great fish, that's exciting. Where did you catch it? If it's private then saying a private pond will suffice! Quote
MaineBassMan Posted March 29, 2010 Posted March 29, 2010 Great looking bass, good job! Call me crazy but I kind of like this early season cold weather fishing. The fish are so clean and healthy looking. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted March 29, 2010 Super User Posted March 29, 2010 Way to go dude. Great fish and excellent photo. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 29, 2010 Author Super User Posted March 29, 2010 thanks guys. i caught it out of jameson lake. i've caught several 4lbers out of here, and my dad caught a 5.5lber last year, and he's also got one or two 4lbers from here. it definitely produces the biggest bass out of all the ponds i've fished. i didn't measure the fish, i wish i did, i only weighed it. it wasn't a very long fish though, i'd say somewhere around 21 or 22 inches.

BucketBuster Posted March 30, 2010 Posted March 30, 2010 Great pics and fish! Is your avatar from the movie "Gummo"? If so, that is one @#$%ed up movie. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 1, 2010 Author Super User Posted April 1, 2010 Great pics and fish! Is your avatar from the movie "Gummo"? If so, that is one @#$%ed up movie. yes sir it is i'm surprised how many people from BR recognized it! Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Nice fish my brother, almost a six pounder on your first outing. That's what its all about. Quote
bassman31783 Posted April 2, 2010 Posted April 2, 2010 Really nice fish & great pics. Congrats. Quote
BassThumb Posted April 3, 2010 Posted April 3, 2010 Nice way to start the season with that good looking, fat bass. I like that avatar, too. Gummo is a very memorable flick, but I like strange indy films like that. Same writer as "Kids." Quote
Taylor Fishin 4 life Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 nice fish and that jack fish looked a little out of proportioned lol Quote
LCpointerKILLA Posted April 4, 2010 Posted April 4, 2010 BTW Dave I've been on this site for a while and dang youve been growing up. Pretty soon you will be posting on here looking like Jimmy Page. Unless you're a late bloomer (for your sake I hope no Gary Coleman disease) Haha man I'm just messing with you Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted April 4, 2010 Author Super User Posted April 4, 2010 hahaha can't say i've ever been compared to jimmy page before... Quote
Super User Sam Posted April 4, 2010 Super User Posted April 4, 2010 Alright Dave! Super! Great! Outstanding! Thanks for sharing. Keep those pics coming. By the way, did I miss seeing your PFD in the pics? First safety rule, wear your PFD. Water is still cold and when it comes to Dave vs The Water, the water will win. Quote
