Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish. Steven Wright

Usually "there it is" and lately it's followed up with "stay down"! I can't tell you how many have come unbuttoned lately after a jump or the fish races for the weeds you can't see. If they do come unbuttoned it's "WT.." You can fill in that blank. ;D

Agreed. As Zell Rowland would say, "let the fish tell you how they want it". Try popping it and then leaving slack in your line. The lure will go to the side and on the next pop will go in the oppisite direction. Make hard pops and soft pops. The soft ones will sound like a bluegill feeding on dragon flies and will barely move the lure. I also agree, that you should try fishing poppers in low light conditions, just to to get confidence in them prior to trying to fish them on a blue bird sky.

That's awesome man!

If the conditions are right, I like dog walking baits over buzzbaits. For some reason the buzzbait bite has been nonexistent for me the last couple of years, so dog walkers has really produced for me. If there's a little surface disturbance, then a spinnerbait just below the surface is my next choice.

Just pick-up 5 spinnerbaits (safety pin style) @ Wally World for a buck a piece at the clearance bin. Then bought a 6 pack.

Excellent!! Gotta love the "what the heck, I'll try here cast". Congrats on your new PB.

Agreed. A pitch back lure works great. Another thing I like to do with a buzzbait and spinnnerbait after it gets nailed by a fish with no hook-up is to kill the retrieve and let the bait flutter down a bit. I can't tell you how many times a fish came back and got buttoned up the second time around. Hope this helps.

WOW! Great fish, again Carlos. WTG! Send some of those fish North!

Nice looking Fish you got there sqhertz! WTG!

That's awesome, Randall! Keep it up!

They all look great BIG M!

I've been going to different presentations. At the beginning I was hitting them pretty good on jigs w/chunk or grub trailers. When the summer heat came, the jig bite really slowed down for some reason and I went to top water (lots of fun). That bit slowed and now I'm finding a slow rolled spinnerbait hugging the bottom is the ticket. So, I guess, keep mixing it up is the key. IMHO

it look slike he's mounting it! where are his pants Oh you deserve a BAZINGA for that comment ok before i get one, i need to know what a BAZINGA is :-? Me too :-?

Nice catch...Congrats

Did you try Janns Netcraft? I also noticed Cabelas has a variety of blades in their tacklecraft section.

I don't think there is a right or wrong time. You won't know if someone is home unless you knock on the door.

Welcome to BR Kyle.

Very nice. Good luck with your move to Alaska!

Great post and nice fish. I think the thermocline myth you mention is right on. The bigger fish won't go below it and if you can find them, you struck gold.

X2 Are those Daisy Dukes he's wearing, and what the hell is that thing on his head? The fish is an odd one, but that dude is really creepin' me out... X3 It looks more like his shirt is covering a bikini

Hokie Smokes what a nice looking fish...Congrats Carlos!

WTG Taylor...Oh, on that 3 lber, blame the guy with the net...LOL

WTG! I would love to take a fishing trip to Canada, I hear nothing but good things afterwards! Congrats on the trifecta!

That's awesome...WTG!
