WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! PB for me!!!! 2024

I.rar reply :

went to a park that another member recommended for an hour or so today. walked around a smaller creek and caught a couple 7" LM on a 5" trick stick. one , i set the hook and it flew right out of the water. both were released successfully.

continued to walk around the south east side of the lake and saw some boils on the water. casted to them - nothing. started sprinkling but i stayed out. walked a little further south on this lake and cast out a 8" taper tail in watermelon... twitch , twitch... pause...SLAM! i saw the bass engulf the bait! i sware my heart stopped. i was reeling her in as she was stripping line. once i got her a couple feet from shore , i jumped in there with my socks and sandals (dont ask) and lipped her.

i was about to pull an ike and start screaming and breakdancing but saw that there was a family taking pictures and didnt want them to think im a nut-job. she was also released unharmed.

i dont know for sure how much she weighed , but i know ive never caught one as big. i would guess 7lbs? not too sure. maybe one of you guys could tell me.

wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'll let you know if I'm free on Saturday. I'm trying to go out on the boat sat or sun to nail some fish on the reefs. Snapper and kingfish for dinner sounds mighty nice. All depends on what the weather does though.

As far as the font being tiny, resize it back up at the bottom right corner of the reply box. It happens to me once in a while also.

Nice fish again bro! Got me soo hyped up I had to go out there and try out Tree Tops Park. Didn't expect much company out there but was nice to run into you today man and sorry about that fish that spit the hook but seems like they were kicking both our butts out there today well at least mine. lol! Next on the list is T.Y. Park. ;D

SoFlaBassAddict reply :

I was talking to my kids P.E teacher today while I was out on the lake. One spot he highly recommended is Quiet Waters park in Deerfield. He said they sink a lot of trees at whatnot out there. He landed a good 40 fish out of there last weekend. Most were small fish, but he said he picked up several larger fish. Apparently electric motors are allowed up there. I'm trying to plan a trip to drive out there one of these days.

thanks bro.

i would say shes around 24". i really need a scale , measuring tape or both lol.

I.rar reply :

so i think i cought the same fish today, lol. got some pics but havnt uploaded them yet. looks very similar in size , weight and pattern , so im assuming its the same bass. this time i got her on a 5" trick stick in his 'bull frog' color. i kept it in a bag with other colored plastics so it had more of a swirl pattern. either way , she fought hard today digging on the bottom , trying to shake my bait out.

after that, i went to the dock and lost a couple decent sized ones that were hanging out in the brush along the shoreline. couldnt of been more than 3 FOW there. i definitely pulled an ike when i lost those. thankfully no one was around to hear the wrath ;D i really need to give those straight shanks a shot. BPS , here i come!

pinesangleroff178th reply :

Congrats again bro but honestly it might just be a different fish. The first catch doesn't seem to have that dark circular birth mark like the second pic does right below the lip. Wish I was out there we could have weighed that big mofo. lol!

YNCBASSMAN reply :

congrats bro!! i have fished Quiet Waters Park quite a bit and it's pretty nice. there's more than one lake there, which is nice and you can rent jon boats and trolling motors. we should put together a little shore fishing or jon boat tourney there one weekend. it's $30 to rent a jon boat for the day.

I really need to call Quiet Waters and other parks like Markham to see if they'll let me launch my jon at them as well. Hell, I'll pay the rental fee if I can use my boat. I'm game for doing something one weekend though.
