Last week on a charter trip. My client says hey I got a better fish on. I look at his line and see a dink. I tell him thats a tiny fish. He says no the bigger fish is below. The I see it. It was a 6 1/2 lb bass on the end of the line. So a little bass ate his senko, then he set the hook and the larger bass ate the dink bass. It was pretty cool.

I blew a lower unit last week on the lake. Had the boat at Don's Mibile Marine shop in Pompano at 5pm. By 1am he had completely rebuilt my lower unit. I was on the water for the next days charter and never missed a lick. That is service!

I have camped and fished out of Katies Landing many times a long time ago. Beautiful area.

It is the time of the year...give it a month and you will be full blown post spawn feeding freenzy.

You always score big! Great fish gentlemen.

Nice! The Husky Jerk (model HJ-10) is a killa down off the trail at this time of the year.

I don't know...but what an awesome fish!

Don't get too crazy with line and leader. I use 40/50 braid straight to the hook. If I were trying to set a record I would step up to 65# braid.

Very nice!!!!!!!!

The Rapala HJ 10 in Tenn Shad is my favorite.

Great day on the water!

Great catch Steve!!!!!!!!!!!

The end of March through November are the best times in my opinion.

I was out on the Alley yesterday. Off the charts for sure. Three customers with an astounding 160+ bass caught on the Husky Jerk.

Lake Istapoga should be on your list..it is on fire as well.

The fellas at Roland Martins Marina are all good guys. In your price range as well.

Glad you gave Don the opportunity to earn your business. He has done complete rebuilds, carbs, powerheads, and lower unit rebuilds for me.

Big fish are taken in South Florida and Lake Okeechobee with an assortment of baits. My preferred method it running a Gambler Big EZ (swimbait) across the surface. Working big buzz frogs or hollow bodied frogs in the slop brings up huge bites as well. Some of the better sticks I know stick to flipping jigs and punching heavy cover with tungsten weighted creature baits.

You can not go wrong with watermellon and red flake fluke..it is a mainstay in Florida water. Don't leave home with them

Funny how a big fish warms us up. Great catch Steve.

Yes it was taken on a dark rainy day with my sorry cell phone with low mega pixels. We could not get it to flash. So I had to really enhance and put some color in it. That night I went and bought a Canon Rebel Ti5.....that will never be an issure again when a trophy hits the deck. The biologist told you the truth..The souther parts of Florida are do not give up big bass like central Florida. Lake O has plenty of big fish.....but it 750 square miles. Here is the origional....I was so dissapointed with the shot.

C'mon Jeff...It was raining She hit a Gambler Big EZ on Lake Okeechobee in a field of kissimmee grass. Weighed a hair under 10-3/4. I had clients on board and the older gentlemen quit fishing. When I asked why he wasn't fishing...he told me was not going to make another cast unless I would pick up my rod and fish with him and his son. As soon as she hit...the young fella said there is your 10 pounder. It was a terrifying blast in the grass

I certainly do not mind showing off my first and only DD. Took me over 30 years of fishing to get her

\ She was nine pounds on the button.
