Biggest fish of '07 so far...

[OBX-BASS]

i know its kind of early to be askin' since we are only just over a month into 2007. but whats yalls biggest bass of '07  so far? also what kind of lures and presentations have you guys been using? i have caught just a couple little guys back in January. It has gotten really cold here in VA lately so i havnt been able to go out since all the lakes and ponds i fish at are frozen over. haha but i caught all of mine on jigs in deep cover and also bringing a spinner bait really slow about a foot off the bottom through some deep water....seemed to work for me...what about you guys??

I managed a few keeper size largemouth on the Pamunkey River using a Rootbeer Bandit 200 series crank and a black/blue jig in about 11' of water. My dad did haul in a nice 6lb striper from the Pamunkey on a ZOOM trick worm in Okeechobee Craw on a 1/4oz jighead in 5' of water. But I haven't made a cast since the beginning of January.

I can't wait til spring cuz me and OBX are gonna be tearin up the brown bass on the Rivanna

[tube]

I would say close guess would be 3.5 lb. caught towards the middle of january (largemouth)

forgot caught a 24" whiper also waiting on pic from my friend since my camera was to cold to work    ;D

[craigaria]

I've had 5 or 6 fish over 7 lbs, but I have yet to break the 8 lb mark yet this year

[OBX-BASS]

you got that right basspro!!!!! we are gonna have to wait a long while though...the rivanna has had chunks of ice floating in it so id say we wont be breaking the kayaks out for 2 months or so :-[ and we gotta work around baseball season!!! gotta remember that one!! but they are there waitin' fer us...i know where the honey holes are and i think you do also if you remember what you caught on our last trip down that river!!!!

[flukester]

5.6 lber, in the power plant lake where I live, fishing has been great there, they'll be on the pre-spawn in a few weeks here! heard there were some bigger ones caught earlier!

I have one just under six pounds that I caught just a few days ago.  My boga grip scale doesnt' give exact ounces but that's ok, because it is deadly accurate.

I posted the pic.

Another one of "Avids famous fish heads in the shadows."

I do have a reputation to maintain you know

I just cannot get to those bass. I went the other day and tossed a tube and it just slid across the ice. I threw a spinnerbait and it just slide across the ice as well. I need to learn more about this winter fishin. What am I doing wrong?

Those things happened to me too!!!!

I pitched a jig to a stump sticking through the ice, all I could get was a thump from under the ice ;D Bet that fish had a headache.

Living in Maryland to start!

[BucketmouthAngler13]

I attepted to fish yesterday, and I had to run the line between my fingers on the retrieve to get the ice off. Only stayed for 15 minutes (10 of those minutes was trying to free a snag) and hurried home for some coffee.

I havn't had a hook up since november.
