It bothers me alot longer if i don't get to see the fish, then my imagination gets the best of me on the size of it.

I haven't tried the baking soda recipe or the other recipe. I've copied, pasted, and saved the Asti recipe and will def give it a try with fish. It sounds great. We are in the process of moving homes, and i can't think of a better house warming dinner than giving that recipe a try and pairing it up with some Prime ribeyes or Prime strip steaks. Thanks for the recipe!

Yeah like i said earlier they were out of my pond, i haven't ever kept any bass from a public lake. I don't live in a tent, but have stayed the night in a few..... Maybe bass are a comfort food or just bring back childhood memories, but i love the taste of bass fried up with peanut oil. Don't get me wrong i'd much rather go to Oceanaire or a Michael Mina restaurant for some chipino, but once or twice a summer its hard to beat fried bass with friends out by the pool.

Those fish are out of my pond that i paid to have stocked, but i'm sure if i catch all of them out of there the local fish farm will be more than glad to have my business

That is a great bass! I'd love for my wife to catch one like that! Of course i'd be jealous if she did because i've never caught one that big

Congrats on your fish! Glad to see i'm not the only person who doesn't use a jig much. I never used one growing up and now i really regret it. I know they catch really big fish from all the videos and stuff i've read on them in magazines, but i have zero confidence in using them. I forced myself last fall to use a jig for a couple of days in a row, and by forcing myself i honestly only took my jig box and some trailers. I knew if i didn't leave my other tackle at home the jigs would be off of my reels in a heartbeat. I caught a few fish, but really didn't gain much confidence in it.

Good looking fish, what did you catch it on?

Is that a regular worm with a curl tail or some crazy shaped worm i haven't seen before? Either way that is an impressive day of fishing!

Haha, for some reason Roland Martin drives me crazy. BUT.......He's the great american fisherman, he'll fish anywhere, anywhere there's water you know he'll be there

I was on a cattle drive with my good friend Sean an Irish boy, and as we were crossing the Rio Grande he was attacked and killed by water moccasins. One even bit him in the face....... I named my boy Augustus if that gives you any idea of how much i like that movie!

I don't know if you've ever checked out tinboats.net but there is a TON of info on working on older boats and everyone over there seems really helpfull. You might check it out if you get a chance.

Anyone know of any good, decent, or just holes with water in them around dallas to fish from the bank? I'm from Oklahoma, but my wife LOVES going to dallas and shopping we are probably down there a couple of weekends a month. I'm wanting to find a couple of places i could fish from the bank. It sure would beat walking around the mall for hours......

Yeah i'm actually looking forward to catching another one. I was watching Hank Parker today and he was doing a 25th anniversary show and one of the clips was of a drum that he caught while fishing with his brother. The fish was a monster, it never did actually show what it weighed, but it was big enough for him to "try" to put it in the livewell and take it in to be weighed. I don't know if anyone else saw that episode, but its a really good one it shows him fishing with his friends and family over the years. Wasn't alot of fishing in the episode, but def worth watching for reminders of why fishing is so great.

I agree with Speadbead the 4" seems really small esp when you compare it with the 5" bait. I caught the 3 crappie on the 4" swimbait.

I bet that fish put up one heck of a fight scott. Looks like a blast.

Longmire is a beautiful lake, its one of those lakes that looks like it should have some huge fish in it. I've only been fishing there one time, i didn't manage to catch any big ones that day just small bass. I'm planning on going sometime this spring though and giving it another shot. I've heard the crappie fishing is amazing there too.

That's hilarious Sharpie, i think i would be divorced if i tried that! Well maybe not divorced, but i'd def be sleeping on the couch for a while, lol.

Yeah its the fish on top of the car, they are kidna hard to see, probably because they are pretty small. She told me it was a "redneck" thing to do.....It felt strange driving down the road with fish on top of the car.

I was going through my computer looking at some old fishing pics of mine and found this one. My wife wanted to borrow my truck for the day, and i just couldn't resist going fishing. She didn't think it was as funny as i did.......

My wife and we were joking around earlier about how much i like to fish. Everytime i leave to go fishing i tell her this is the day i'm giong to get my "wall bass" and she always laughs. Anyway the conversation got around to what i would actually do to catch a state record bass. I told her i would cut a toe off and use it for bait if i knew it would catch me the oklahoma state record bass.........To far? (i'm not really into wearing flip flops anyway, lol)

I've got a question about my trolling motor, i tried searching the site, but didn't come accross what i was looking for. If anyone can point me in the right direction, thanks in advance. I have a minn kota 12/24 trolling motor. It came on the old boat i got last year and the cables that connect the trolling motor and the battery were in really bad shape. So i replaced them with some new ones. It seems like there were three cables when i replaced them, but i only replaced the red and black. I used it all year last year and everything worked great. This past week i was looking around online and i came accross trolling motors so i got to reading up on them and the different voltages. When i got to reading i noticed it says you have to have 2 batteries for a 24V trolling motor. I only use one battery for my trolling motor, but the trolling motor doesn't work when its on the 12V switch, it only works on the 24V switch. Am i missunderstanding this or shouldn't the 24V switch take 2 batteries?

I caught a zebo 33 the other day. When i was a kid i would go to the creek in our backyard and catch some perch, and then take them to this little bridge up the road and rehook the perch and dangle them down over the rocks and catch snakes. I don't even have a guess as to how many snakes i caught that way over the years, but i know it has to be over a 100. Still gives me cold chills to think about those big snakes coming out.....

I have an old 14' 1954 larson with an 18hp motor. When i first got it i figured i would just fish watersheds with it, but since then i've been taking it to konawa alot. It does great until the wind gets over 15, then it becomes a little bit of a challenge......If the winds over 20 i keep my lifejacket close, just incase i have to abandon, lol. You fish konawa stew?

Thanks for the info! Yeah he put up a great fight, i thought i had a pretty good sized bass until i saw this little funny mouthed guy......I'd love to hook one of them over 10 pounds, i bet that would be a blast!

I caught this fish yesterday and can't figure out what kind it is? I caught it on a 1/2 ounce lipless crankbait, not quite sure what he was thinking the lure wouldn't even fit in his mouth, but a trebble hook fit in there nicely......I'm in oklahoma and looked around at the department of wildlife website, but couldn't find it on there. Thanks,
