Big-O Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Decided to make a long drive to Falcon (8 hrs) this past weekend and the water was down 3 and 4 feet since my last visit. The good news was that the fish were still holding at the same basic depths and structure types as the last time I fished there... So I was able to WRECK'em a bit. The Football jig and Rage Lobster (Falcon Lake Craw color) took care of business. It was like showing me "Ice Cream"... I'm gonna EAT IT My buddy Terry had a good day as well and when we got off the water, he said he was painfully sore in the areas of his HANDS, ARMS, SHOULDERS and especially RIBS Appears that I have the week off after tomorrow, so I may slip away and try to find a few more Big O Babies hope yall are having some fishin' fun too!

Mrs. Matstone Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 Yet another awesome fishing trip for you. Beautiful fish! Congrats to you. Quote
Big-O Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 Thanks y'all, a guys gotta get lucky sometime This one came from a spot that only held two fish and the other one was about 7. Probably spent more time on it than I needed to but things worked out for the better anyway. Spent much of the day running a gunning different spots and if we hit 2 small fish in a row... off we went. We finally found a mother load This spot dialed in to be less than the size of a house, and we snatched over 20 fish between 6 and 9.5. Now that's the type of area that I'll wreck pretty hard My best 5 for the day was 43.5lbs and Terry's was 39lbs. We figured that was good enough to celebrate with a few adult beverages I'm headed out tomorrow for another round of action and I hope I've figured out something that can help me to do a little better! Early this year the flippin bite was STRONG, then the T rigged Thumper, Anaconda and Rage Hawg took over. Recently the fish moved a little deeper and the Football jig n Lobster has been getting all of the action. I'm sure the jig is gonna stay active but now I believe they want the best I have to offer when it comes to a C rig too I'm planning to Eeliminate'em. Won't be back for a while and I hope yall have some fishin fun too! Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

BassCats Posted August 23, 2011 Posted August 23, 2011 What he isn't telling you is that his buddy Terry is Terry Oldham of Oldham jigs. Visited Terry Oldham the other day at his home in wimberley and he said ya'll were destroying them by 9am. Quote
ICU812 Posted August 27, 2011 Posted August 27, 2011 Man it's just plain insane the things you do Glad I caught this, almost missed this post. Thanks for sharing such a nice fish and a little of the method to your madness too! Quote
Super User CWB Posted August 28, 2011 Super User Posted August 28, 2011 Nice one as always. Just for laughs, how about posting a pic holding a 15 incher? Wait, they are born 4 lbs in Texas, right? Quote
