Sweet! Thank you, Mrs. Matstone!

Welcome to the Bass Resource community!

Nice fish!!! I guess I am a sucka because my guess was going to be 6.5 - 7 lbs.

That is just totally cool, Chris! I know my heart would be pumping. Nice-looking fish.

Nice chunks, LBH!

I'm sure I caught one on bait earlier, but the my first lure that snagged a bass was a Rapala Original Floater.

From the angler's perspective, fishing an area that is close to a boat lane is not a huge issue as the waves from the wakes of other boats is consistent and coming from only one direction. When we speak of Lake of the Ozarks we are talking about a plethora of wakes going in many different directions. There is no way to plan how to hit the waves with your boat when there is no consistency, and when they are huge and coming from many directions it is not safe for bassboats, period.

Done. Good luck, Paul!

Nice trip. I'll bet you had a blast!

Wow! Freaky. I hope the fish survives. Heres the video to that fish. http://calfishing.com/video/releases/mutant_release/ That thing looks like a giant tadpole in the livewell.

Tommy Bass stated: If you are referring to my post about Smithville Lake, I must be communicating poorly. I fish both Lake of the Ozarks and Smithville Lake. No lake I have been on approaches Lake Ozark. A few years back a 30 foot long boat was capsized by the rollers on Lake of the Ozarks and a boater drowned in that event. The point I was making is that some highly pressured Metropolitan lakes can be pretty rough as well. I don't like the main lake on Smithville over the weekend, but I wouldn't even attempt the main lake at Lake of the Ozarks during the same time period.

From one spinnerbait lover to another, great video Glenn! I actually picked up a couple of new ideas. Number one, I don't use Lumaflex for my skirts so I'm going to give them a try, and number two, I don't usually change the blade color first when I have short strikes. I'm amazed at the number of guys who were looking at your legs.

The impact on bass isn't the issue. The impact on your ability to concentrate on fishing is. When you are fishing in large three to six foot rollers, as Cart7t discussed, it's basically impossible to concentrate on how your fishing that main lake point when boat control requires all of your attention, not to mention the myriad number of boats in the immediate vicinity. Dangerous isn't the word for fishing the main lake portion of Lake Ozark during the day. It's insane. Some in the Kansas City area are beginning to call Smithville Lake "Little Lake Ozark." If you're fishing on the weekend during the day and you're in a 19 - 21 foot bassboat, you won't trim up much and you won't go very fast when you go on plane on the main lake or you'll find yourself capsized. Fishing main lake points requires dramamine. The only good thing here is that over 4000 of the 7100 acres were left in timber so you can get away from all the big boats, skiers, and jet skis. However, there is only one boat launch open that will allow you to avoid the main lake traffic.

Random thoughts while sitting on the throne: 1) Research it, use what works for you on your water, and let others use what works for them . . . but keep your mind open. There may be a better way. 2) What's that smell?
