He came very close to a mount... but one tine's tip is broken, and one on the left side is small. I decided to just have the antlers put on a plaque. The mount I do have is taller but not as wide. I will use this one to measure the rest, and if one is better... it will be a mount. WolfyBrandon

More Pictures... ~19'' Spread WolfyBrandon

Took less than 1 second after seeing him in the scope, to decided this trophy was worth keeping. WolfyBrandon

Image might have been too large, fixed? WolfyBrandon

[ October 18, 2015 ] Got drawn for the late buck season, but the big one that I saw while scouting that I nicknamed ''Angus'' because of his wide rack, decided to get up in front of me at ~8:15am on the second day of Deer Season. WolfyBrandon

[ September 18, 2015 ] Where do I begin? It is now the middle of September... the weather is getting worse, the water is cooling down, and the Fall Season is in full swing. The fishing has been great the past few weeks as I have caught great numbers of fish in a short amount of time. I have seen bass schooled up in numbers roaming around in the shallows and have been able to catch them on almost every cast. It didn't matter if it was calm, windy, sunny, rainy, early, or late... they have been biting. That was until a few days ago where it seemed like most of my fish came during the day and then the bite seemed to slow down during the evening. I took note of this and have been trying to fish as much as I can, as early as I can - which for me would be the afternoon. Well today I got off work early at 2:00pm and started making my way out to the lake. I have been consistent catching bass for the past 85 days that I have fished, and today I was starting to feel a little burnt out. Since I had extra time to fish, I planned to spend a few hours at the marina, then possibly head out in the boat for the rest of the day... I arrived at the lake around 2:30pm, grabbed two of my combos (first with a Tube softbait, other with a LiveTarget Blueback Herring Swimbait) and started fishing. The sky was mostly cloudy, with little to no wind. The water has about 10+ ft clarity with a bit of color to it, and the temperature is 62F. The lake is also currently over a foot low, and seems to be slowly falling as the days progress. I made only 2 or 3 casts, then dropped the tube next to a piling in about ~25ft of water. I was watching the line as it was starting to sink and when it got down about 5-7ft deep, I saw the line stop. I immediately dropped the rod, reeled up the slack, and set the hook hard. First impression was I thought I just had a decent one on... then a few seconds later I knew I had a good one on... and when I got it near the surface and it started going crazy I knew I had a great one on (but I didn't think it was a PB). That was until I put it on the scale and learned that it was... 5lb 1oz, 21 & 1/2'' I will point out that my digital scale which I believe to be fairly accurate said 5lb 01oz (and I double checked the weight and even re-zeroed it). However my BogaGrip which is a $100+ fish gripper that can be officially certified said it was around 6lb. I don't know if I can believe it was 6lb... so for now I'm going with the lower weight that was on my digital scale. In the future I might decide to invest in a new scale (AccuScale) to be sure. Anyway I continued fishing to catch another 7-10 smaller bass and also hooked into a nice bonus fish. It was a great day, and just what I needed to spark my enthusiasm again. What a way to start my weekend... 86 Days Consistent. WolfyBrandon

Awesome, my style of post. Love all the pictures and information, you beat me to creating the pic with all the nice fish... as mine is still WIP. WolfyBrandon

Omg... WolfyBrandon

Finally, a Bass Fishing Store in my local area that stocks some high quality baits, with an Owner who actually knows about bass fishing. I was able to pick up a few things I've been wanting for quite a while and haven't been able to find until now... WolfyBrandon

Another tool (in?, beside?) the tackle box. I actually used it to do my fishing log for the day when I was done fishing, and noticed I had free Wifi and was able to access BassResource while on the lake. I could probably do a lot more with it as it is a 2015 laptop with tons of features including a webcam. I was curious if others even have access to BassResource while on the lake... if so, post a pic with the website and your lake in the background. WolfyBrandon

Thanks Everyone! She put up one heck of a fight let me tell you. I was sure she would either break my line (it was frayed in a few spots), or bend the hook out (I was using a Tube with a 1/8oz jig head which has a light wire hook). Not making excuses though, you always have to be ready as you never know when you will hook your next PB. Gitzit Tube (Smoke Sparkle) with a 1/8oz Jig Head.

Limited use so far, I've had luck with the Bluegill colored Banshee Spinnerbait. The paint on the blades seems to easily wear off which sucks (wish they were more durable) but as they spin fast idk how much it really matters... I care more about the blades giving off flash anyways. I like the skirt colors (one of the reasons I bought them) and they come with a trailer hook which is nice. If I remember correctly, the last time I used them I felt they were more of a "Slow-Roll" type of Spinnerbait. I don't own nor have I used any of the Buzzbaits... they didn't look very appealing to me in design. I prefer Cavitron Buzzbaits, and as an all purpose Spinnerbait so far I prefer BOOYAH.

That's what I plan on doing. I would recommend using a rod that has a good parabolic bend. Early this year I did get snagged up and found that the Shadow Rap's hooks can bend fairly easy... so just be aware of that and you should be fine. WolfyBrandon
