...you catch a bass that's smaller than your lure.

Heck! I've had days that I'd use that fish to cull! ?
RPreeb reply :
Wish I'd had my phone ready when I caught a 4 incher last week on a 3" popper. Many years ago I caught a 3" LM on a Jitterbug casting plug.
Largemouth bass clearly have a problem with ego, or delusions of grandeur. They will hit a bait that they couldn't possibly swallow even if it was something alive.
OCdockskipper reply :
This little guy was such a bad*** that he went for the center hook.
Interesting how both your & mine were caught on the same lure, Rapala X-Rap

I noticed yours went after the one red treble hook - and people say they make no difference

I had a similar experience the other day! This 4 incher tried to eat my 5" senko! What's so funny is that when I pulled him out of the water all he had a hold of was the tail! The hook was still buried up in the top of the senko.....
GrumpyOlPhartte reply :
Hey! Look at the bright side! The taxidermist can't charge too much to mount those for you. Just make sure he includes the lure in the mount!

I don't have a pic but I caught a smallie that was considerably shorter than my robo worm. So where can I pick up my masters certificate?

Anybody can catch a 10 lber, catching one of those takes a lil bit more skill....

7" bait, 5" smallmouth.

Funny thing was this little dink rips up and grabs the lure just as I was pulling it out of the water. I was like, 'Seriously?'
I quick snapped a pic, then he fell off and landed in my tackle box. There was something truly comical about this moment, looking at this little bass flopping around among all my other lures. I fished him out and tossed him back.

When you can catch fish on any body of water

You are doing better than most of the local bass fishing guides in your area.
You are consistently catching big bass in tough conditions when others are complaining about how bad the conditions are.
You catch more state citation sized fish in 1 year of fishing than most catch in 10 years of fishing.
You have people offering you free boat fishing trips so you can put them on fish.
You go out of your way to teach children and good people how to fish and you do it for free since you enjoy seeing the smile on their face when they are catching fish.

I had a little bluegill annihilate a whopper plopper right when it hit the water today. I was like, are you serious? Really?

Lol...that was me when I caught that little bass.
Angealy reply :
Here's a few fish from yesterday, We had fun catching these.
Turtle was okay, He didn't get hooked but rather just bit down on the hook and worm and wouldn't let it go.
OLD PICTURE but still look at this little guy.

Caught this little guy on a jerkbait. Half inch fish on a 5 inch Husky Jerk.

Can't tell if that's a piece of slime or a tiny, tiny fish. If it's a fish you win no doubt....
