went out to check on some of my kids at my project pond today.  wanted to do some weighing and measuring to see how some of my young fish were coming along.  last time i saw 'em, it looked like they were really getting fat, so i thought they could use a little exercise.   fished with a modified ragetail thumper worm and got a nice 6-9 right off the bat.  so tickled that forgot to measure that one before letting it go.  doh!  after that, got a little chunker, 5-2 at only 19".  then one that was even more impressive, a 5-0 at only 18.5".  ended with a 6-14 at 22".  not richmond mills bass, but they'll do.  all of these bass weighed well above what they are "supposed to" for their given length.  pretty pleased with that, especially considering the drought we've had.  looks like my babies are coming along nicely. 

also incredibly pleased with those thumpers.  absolutely amazing what can be done with this bait.  highly versatile is a severe understatement.

I love that ragetail thumper worm also. Were you using the 7" or the 10"?

thanks guys. to anwer the question, it was a 10" that i was using. the thumper worm is beyond versatile. when you think you've figured out everything this bait can do, guess what? you ain't even scratched the surface. if you will look beyond the obvious, i promise you can unlock some VERY cool stuff. deadly stuff. things that none of the bass in your favorite lake or pond have ever seen type of stuff. the "at first glance" applications of this bait are great. beyond that, it only gets better. to say that this bait is "overdesigned" is a massive understatement.

dwight, i'm sure we can work out some kind of a deal. my lm for your sm. your smallies are absolutely gorgeous. :)

as far as my babies go, i wish y'all could see some of these fish. absolute tanks. i honestly believe i like growing big bass as much as catching them. challenging, but quite rewarding. here's a pic of one of the "little" ones from a while back. you can tell from the size of my hand in comparison to the fish that there's no way this fish should have weighed any more than a pound. yet i'm sure it weighed 3 if it was an ounce. imagine a fish proportioned like this at 25". hope i get to find out one day. that's what i've been up to this past year or so. i'll keep my fingers crossed.

Hey, Paul.  It's good to hear from you.  Come on, Dude, spill the beans on what you're feeding them.  When I retire I plan on doing the same thing and I need some tips from the master.  :)

What are you feeding those things?  They have alot of girth for being so small in length?  Please share a secret or two, it's only us here looking  8-)

I had a friend down here in Fl. that would hand feed his pond bass hot dogs.  It was the most amazing thing you would ever see just wave them around near the waters edge and bang these 5-6 pounders would come out of nowhere and grab em.  Very cool stuff, wish I had video of it.
