  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Went today but not really sirious, had a major hangover from a parte the evening before.
Caught 2 perch 8-10inch region and a ruffe.
nothing picture worthy
 
Wish I had found this thread earlier in the season when i was actually gettin able to go fish a lot haha. I won't spam it with pics from february and march (unless anybody wants me to)

Went thursday june 23rd for the first time in about a month, first time i had taken my nephew fishing - he caught 3 bullheads around a lb or so and i caught this approx 3lb bass, good day on the water and he had a lot of fun which is the important part

Nice report boss !! I miss my nephews wanting to go fishing with me, enjoy ur times cause once the girls come they dont want to go fishing as often !

The fishing has slowed down again. Only bluegill and 1 or 2 perch the past few days. I'm going Monday-Wednesday over to my cousin's house to do some day and night fishing at a small private pond by his house, where he has been pulling up 3-5 pounders like nobody's buisiness! I hope I get in on some of this action!
 
NCstatefisher,You gotta spam this thread with pics of catches:popcorn:
 
sounds good to me ;) lemme get some worked up hahahaha
 
First Trip of the year, went in February when the water was still about 30 degrees - caught a good amount of crappie and a couple small bass i believe the date was 2/15 should show up on the picture, caught a solid bullhead too, pushing 19"

*NOTE, I DO NOT TYPICALLY KEEP BASS TO EAT, HE WAS GILL HOOKED AND WOULDA DIED ANYWAYS*

2nd trip of the year, got a hold of this big bass - surprised the heck out of me as i was still just crappie fishing not expecting the big boys to be out yet

A little later on near the end of february my friend came up for the weekend to fish, the night he got there we went out and i caught this bad boy, water still high 30s:

The next day was hands down the most productive bass day of the season for me, I landed 17 fish 1lb+ and my friend landed about 8 with another friend landing about 10. Started the morning off with these 2 bad boys and it was just consistent fishing from there, also had one monster around 7lbs break off right after catching the 2 that started the morning, he jumped head shook and that was all she wrote:

I had to go a lot less in march and didn't catch a ton of fish, caught a few 2lbers and under here and there but not a lot picture worthy, little did i know what was gonna await me one morning in april.... Went out bright and early and started the morning very confused:

was a solid fish.. no complaints... little did i know that day i'd be pulling in the biggest bass of my life, without further adieu:

I don't carry a scale with me when I fish, but I do carry a tape measure. Fish was 27.5" long, had a girth of 19", and was SLAM full of eggs, im guessing with eggs it was at least 8.5lbs if not more, im 6'6 if that puts the fish in perspective :)


After that I've had some good and bad times, had a fishing tournament about 4 days after catching my big bass, had one get off that was easily 6.5, spit the hook when it surfaced and the winner ended up being like a 2lber, was a really tough day of fishing. Also had a big bass get off that was bigger than my biggest of my life at another pond, spit the lure right at the shore mouth looked like a dinner plate opened up... Overall it's been a great season of fishing even though school and work have kept me off the water a lot over the last couple months.. Thanks for looking :P

Nice catches,looks like you got a nice season this year?
that 27.5 Bass looks like a true monster!
 
Thanks :P - yeah the season has treated me pretty well so far, counting all bass i've probably hauled in somewhere in the 130-150 fish range with about 15 cats and then probably 40 crappie with a few bream mixed in, really hoping when i can't a chance to head down to the beach to fish my luck follows me :P
