Must have had a pretty good time Kent based on the way your smiling. That blue headed bait must have been working. It that a stock color?

Sweet double digit bass. Great picture with that fish & the lilly pad field.

RoLo thanks for sharing those pictures they truely capture the spirit of the bald eagle.

Nice looking fish Shane.

It sure sounds like you had fun. I'll bet your still pumped.

Try Captain Shane Procell of Everglades Bass Fishing Guide. He is a member here.

Great fish for such tough conditions. WTG.

That's a birthday bass for sure.

Hey Goose you should have blackout your name. Now everyone on the Internet is going to know who you are.

Endless asked V-8 four runner handles towing a 18-20 foot boat with ease. 5,000lb towing capacity.

Here's my lake erie bass boat.

Just a heads up. Our local neighborhood Marathon gas station is ethanol free in Erie PA. I understand most marathon gas stations are ethanol free.

Beautiful stripers, Paul. Looks like you have lost some weight or the fish are so big by comparison your looking smaller.

Great video! Really enjoyed it.

Good fish. Just remember you want the sun in your face.

Snook It looks like he has only got one tooth.

Tournaments are off limits during trophy bass season April 16th thru June 17th on PA lakes. Trophy season permits keeping one fish daily 20" long. A one fish bag limit would not be very tournament friendly anyhow. PA is basically protecting prespawn/spawn times from tournament pressure/stress. PA's trophy bass season is more liberal than other states which denying any bass fishing until after spawn. I personally have no problem with the license fees in PA considering the tremendous fishing opportunities PA offers. My out of state friends pay $68.40 for an annual license & smile the whole way home thinking about the trophy fish they have caught. It's not what you pay its what you get for what you paid.

We have used them for smallmouth & they do get bit!

Glass Tail.

That's one heck of a back yard fish Eric. Your living the dream.

Nice fish. Looks like that fish has been eating the shad kill at will.

Great video for sure. Going against the grain paid off big time.

I use snaps on all crank/jerk bait lures. Easier to change baits and gives them better action.

PondBoss wrote Replicas are better because they are much more durable than a skin mount & they leave that fish in the system to reproduce & maybe let some else catch them. They don't fade, they don't bleed thru oils & the fins don't break off when your wife decides it need dusting. ;D

If all the fish you have caught are slack bellied,carrying no weight then the pond is out of balance and you need to take all fish under 15" out. If some of the fish are fat just short in length your probably ok. Try putting out a soaker with a blue gill fin clipped under a bobber or free lined as an extra rod. Try tossing a senko wacky rigged on your 2nd rod.
