Nice looking bass! I'll say somewhere between 5 and 6.

Let that girl get put on another pound and go back and get her.

First thing that I do is do an online search of the lake to see what people have been saying about it.

Can't wait to hear about the trip!

Glad you got out and had a good time. Careful not to over do it though.

For those that fish out at Busch Wildlife, lake 32 is closed for now. Sometime earlier in the week that lake had a fish kill.

Have you guys had any UFO sightings up that way? Turtle could have been abducted.

You can't go wrong with lipless cranks.

Welcome aboard!

Sorry about the spinnerbait. At least you got the fish in. We have had muskie short strike jigs and spinnerbaits that bite off the skirts.

I haven't done any good on spinnerbaits this year either. Try something slower that stays on the bottom. Maybe a Texas rigged Senko, or a baby brush hog.

Good looking fish and boat!

I think it was one or two years ago that someone caught a piranha at Lake of the Ozarks. The fish probably got to the size where the owner couldn't afford to feed it any longer and into the lake it went.

Wow, that is a lot fish. The sad part is that they're probably not the only ones doing it.

Congrats! That is really something!

One more vote for returning them. Don't let the clerk try and tell you "that they all do that, its just the way there made".

Nice looking bass! You guys had a good day!

If you can see them, then they can see you. Try making longer casts and moving more slowly around the edge of the water.

Those purple vines look fishy. Have you tried for bass in that canal?

They have been active all summer around here. Seed ticks are the worst.

That is hilarious!!

I have never caught one, but I have had several chase a spro frog across the lake.

If holding that rig is making him tired then its probably too big for him.

I keep my plastic baits that get torn up. I trim them back and use them as trailers. Green pumpkin baby brush hog works great as a trailer.
