MaineBassMan Posted April 6, 2010 Posted April 6, 2010 My Uncle and I went back up today and nailed them again. This time between the two of us we caught 46 bass. I had a 5 fish total of 16lbs 02oz yesterday and we beat that by 9oz today with a 5 fish bag limit of 16lbs 11oz. My Uncle caught another 4lbs 03oz largemouth and took my dollar for big fish. My biggest today was 3lbs 14oz., almost four pounds. The bass we have been catching are all slack and look like they needed a good meal, I think they were all males. Usually they are fat pigs this time of year. We caught them on wacky worms, jigs, and cranks today. Here are a few of them: My Uncle's 4lbs 03oz. bass, Once again slack, he should have been closer to 5 pounds again Old men and cameras don't go together My 3lbs 14oz bass, look how slack he is! Quote

MaineBassMan Posted April 6, 2010 Author Posted April 6, 2010 Wow you guys are on'em strong and the water must be brackish clear with the great colors on the fish. Big O www.ragetail.com Yep, you are correct the water is very dark, and yet it is pretty darn clear. Quote
bassman31783 Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 The old man & cameras actually made me laugh pretty good. ;D Nice going, really good pics. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted April 7, 2010 Super User Posted April 7, 2010 Man, that's great, but why do you waste a minute on green trout? If I were living in Maine, it would be small jaws only! Quote
Super User Paul Roberts Posted April 7, 2010 Super User Posted April 7, 2010 Looks like nice water. Love those tannic fish. Quote
MaineBassMan Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 Man, that's great, but why do you waste a minute on green trout? If I were living in Maine, it would be small jaws only! Because I like variety, I've hit the smallies pretty good this season too so far. Honestly though in my part of Maine I think the largemouth fishing is better than the smallmouth as far as numbers and size. I have to travel about an hour minimum in any direction to get to great smallmouth water and only about 20 minutes to find great largemouth fishing! I prefer smallmouths but at the same time the largies are unique, they are the new kid on the block. Also in this lake the smallies don't get big for some reason even before the largies were there. I only catch a couple 3lbs plus smallies here a year, and the largies seem to be doing much better in this watershed. Don't worry Roadwarrior my next few trips will be to some awesome smally water so I will try and please your eyes with some nice tiger striped small jaws! Quote
FivePoundBluegill Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 LOL@ The old man and cameras part... Hey your uncles attempt at useing a camera is 10x better than any of Avids pictures ever were... Quote

Super User Tin Posted April 8, 2010 Super User Posted April 8, 2010 Nice, it was on like that a few weeks ago down here. Now the bite has really died in most lakes. I love that opening ice-out fury. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted April 8, 2010 Super User Posted April 8, 2010 Hey MaineBassMan be careful! Us old guys might take offense at that statement. Funny how the old guys do catch an occasional big fish. ;) Quote

MaineBassMan Posted April 8, 2010 Author Posted April 8, 2010 haha i love how far out he is holding them thats great LOL, he likes doing that!! The weights are true though. I weighed them on my x-tools scale and that thing is dead nuts on! I verified it on my certified 5 pound weight! Quote
