I remember Orlando. He was fun to watch. I like them all.......

Throw into thick wood and work it back out going up and over, in and out & bump and stop. Rip it across the top of submerged vegetation.

He most definitely needs to expand his fishing techniques. I don't anybody that has won a major Bassmaster Tournament on Swimbaits. There is a time and place for every lure.

There had to be a lot of hours put into fishing a few Spinnerbaits before 500 Spinnerbaits were bought. If you are not catching anything on the first 10 you bought. Why would you buy 490 more? :-?

This combination below will catch bass anywhere: BTW, You can always send me all those Non-bass catchin' Spinnerbaits you own. I'll take them nasty things off your hands free of charge. ;D

There's no way dude. 10,000-20,000 casts??? You need to quit fishing in your cement pond(pool), and start fishing a real lake that has bass in it.

He might not be your Pro guy to watch, but nobody should be hating people. Hate is a strong word, and people that actually hate others usually live a miserable life.

All of those groups are terrorists.

Hate mail should be a crime also.....

That's funny!!!! ;D ;D ;D

Tannic acid from the Cypress trees in the water makes it look like tea. Gold, brown or copper looking lures work good. Anything in Green Pumpkin works also. Zoom Black Trick Worms work good also. Try those and see what happens.

I have caught plenty of bass with them. Throw that Spinnerbait into the heaviest wood, and work that "thang" back out. Up and over, in and out, bump and thump......Wham!!!!! fish on!!!!!

Somebody will invent a scrambler if it starts happen too much. You should be able to arrest them for harrassment because it is legal to hunt and fish. It's illegal to harrass somebody. Peta, what losers they are. >

I would just have to start carrying a shot gun to the tournaments, and shoot Robocarp. Peta and their kind are some the stupidest people around. They do that with a lot of money on the line and somebody will go "IKE" on them. I would ban them from launching from my marina. You could go non-lethal and pound them with rubber bullets or a bean bag gun. Or you could go the old fashion way and board their boat, kick their butt, and sink their remote control. ;D

It's all right if people bash Perry. Heaven forbid if we question Mac's catch. > I guess were not allowed to state any opinions on Cali's catches.

Good read.

As long as it stays in the USA, I don't care which state catches. USA, USA, USA!!!

This is not a Snagging poll. It's a "Will she be caught again poll". There are two or three other threads that will accommodate the snagging opinions.

When the Summer gets into full swing, the daylight hours will up to 9PM. :) :)

Maine only has two seasons right? Fall and Winter. ;D

A big fish will be caught in March 2007 on the beds in Cali. Will it be the same one? As long as she was able to recover from the stress of being caught last year. I think so.

Yep. The bottom line, it's always up to the fishermen. We do have to be prepared for anything. WR, boat safety, bad weather...etc....

Would they have admitted it if no one was around? We will never know that one. Witnesses will usually keep you honest. The boat trip to the middle of the lake to discuss the issue is kind of fishy. They could have been discussing if they can get away with. Like I said before, prestige and money make some people do the wrong thing. I'm glad they decided to do the right thing.

I here guys saying they have a IGFA certified Boga Grip. I thought they came pre-certified.

Has A New World Record Bass Been Caught? A possible new world record largemouth bass was caught in California Monday, March 20. Mac Weakley of Carlsbad caught the fish off the bed at Dixon Lake. He and two friends have been fishing for this bass every bedding season for the past couple of years. He was interview by another site about the catch. The bass has a distinctive mark on her and is probably the same bass caught two times in the past, when she weighed 20 to 21 pounds. The bass weighed 25 pounds, 1 ounce on hand held uncertified scales Monday. As always, there is controversy surrounding this catch. The fishermen had bought a camping permit to get ahead of other fishermen in line so they could be on the water first. They set up on the fish after watching someone else fish for it on Sunday. Rumor has it they tried to pay that fisherman to leave it alone and let them fish for it. Observers on the bank said they watched Weakley set the hook five times before hooking the bass, and it was foul hooked in the side, not in the mouth. The fish was photographed and released before Game and Fish officials could arrive. An observer said the three men in the boat landed the bass near the dock after fighting it for a while, then went to the middle of 70 acre lake to discuss what to do. They then came back to the dock and released the bass. They did not measure it before releasing it, and did not try to get certified scales to weigh it. For these and other reasons the San Diego Times says the fish will not be submitted for a record. This article also has a picture of the fish. George Perry caught the current world record bass 74 years ago in Georgia. That fish was not photographed but a replica was made and pictures of it are on a sign in the small town in Georgia where it was caught. The new world record has been an object of fantasy for bass fishemen for years, with some saying the fisherman catching it could earn over a million dollars from the catch. Field and Stream, another site and FLW both have more information on this catch. Largemouth bass are not native to California. They have been stocked there for years and seem to grow bigger and faster there than in their native range. It helps if lakes like Dixon have trout in them, bass love to feed on trout. Some have said non native fish should not be considered for records, but that is not in the International Game Fish Association rules.
