Fat-G Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Wow. I just had my best day (numbers) ever. 40+ in a little over 3 hours. All on Rage Craws. I actually had to start using Space Monkeys because I ran out of Craws. Normally I would be super hyped up right now, but I'm beat up and sore. I had a real close call at about 7:30. A fish hit the Craw so darn hard it literally ripped the rod from my right hand. I somehow caught it with my left hand near the butt. That would have been $260 in the drink. I can't freaking believe that day just happened. I had three periods of about 10 mins. where I caught one on every cast. Both thumbs are bleeding as I type this. My shoulder blades hurt. My back is killing me. Unbelievable. Here are the two biggest of the day. 20.5" 4 lbs. 10 oz. 20" 4 lbs. even. Quote
Mrs. Matstone Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Awesome day for sure. Congrats to you! ;D Quote

Fat-G Posted July 25, 2010 Author Posted July 25, 2010 Nice fish but what is up with that second bass :-? :-? :-? I have no idea. It had two golf-ball shaped knobs. One on the left, one on the right. Wierd. Quote
MasterBasster09 Posted July 25, 2010 Posted July 25, 2010 Sounds like you had a fun day. Just remember that the pain you are feeling is good pain. That second photo definitely shows some sort of irregular growth on that fish. He may not be with us much longer. :-/ Quote
Super User islandbass Posted July 25, 2010 Super User Posted July 25, 2010 Congrats. It's always better to be worn out like that with great success than to be worn out and skunked. ;D Well done. Quote
culprit71 Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 Wow that is incredible. Can I ask what your usual numbers are like and if you fished before or after the cold front moved through. We had a a rainstorm fast and furious move through around 3 pm on Sunday in NJ and the temperature dropped at least 10 degrees or more. You also fished furing a full moon phase. I hear a lot about those rage tail craws gotta try em. Excellent man, excellent. (I had a crappy day on saturday, felt like my rod was melting in hands it was so hot out) Quote

(I had a crappy day on saturday, felt like my rod was melting in hands it was so hot out) My average number per trip (2-3 hrs) is probably 4-5 fish. But, the average size is 3 lbs. I like to fish 1-2 hours before the front arrives, then if there's no lightning fish through it. After the storms pass it slows down, but the fish can still be caught. Quote
Super User firefightn15 Posted July 27, 2010 Super User Posted July 27, 2010 Yeeowzah! Nice job Fat-G, dig out the Ben-Gay. 8-) Quote
