Nice combo what did u catch it on? Craw type bait

FL is the ultimate freshwater fish state! Lake Okechobee was created by god as a bass heaven

I don't eat bass but if I do I prefer a knife an fork.... I am the most interesting fishermen in the world

I have never seen a bass with red eyes

Live minnows by far catch more bass BUT Artificial lures IMO give me a sense of accomplishment that's why I prefer fishing that way

How deep was the fish caught? 4 feet Did the lure contain rattles or have hinges? No Was the lure a natural color (brown, green) or was it an unnatural color (chartreuse, orange)? Natural If possible, what moon phase was your PB caught during? Not sure

I feel for you but since you are beating me in length I think, I can't feel that bad lol

Yea man I can't wait to catch me some of them south FL monster spawn fish

That's why you will see me at your door Lou with my fishing gear in the spring for a nice fishing weekend lol

Nice fish Your a soldier for fishing with the swim bait in your skin for 3 hours... DEDICATION

I generally try to find ponds in residential communities, parks, office complexes, and golf courses that have been there for many years at least 10. MCS put me onto that last year me and czar fish with this guy who has access to Orange Park Country Club and those ponds have been there since the 70's the guy was saying. Only problem is we can only go when he has time since its restricted access. But he has caught tons of fish over 6lbs and 15 that exceed 10lbs all this year!! Orange park has some ponds that are ancient and hold some monster fish. He was showing me pics of fish he caught around Orange Park and it makes the fish I think are big that I caught look like guppies lol.

You could just google them in whatever area you are located. Then call them or go and ask permission to fish. Some of the biggest fish are located in golf course ponds they must eat the golf balls.

Yea man I pray I run into that dorky wanna be cop. It's going to be hard taking him serious especially if he tries to take my picture lol. If e gave you the benefit of the doubt then he will prob just call the real police on me ha. I was fishing the other day and someone called the cops since it was private property. The cop approached me and was really cool about it, he even told me about spots that were close that he has seen people fish. It seems like rent a cops take their job WAYYY more seriously than the real ones, who have more important things to deal with than to harass people who are fishing not bothering anyone

4lbs

Struck out on the big one but managed to get 3 nice size two 17" and one 18" and some dinks. I hit up the law school lake this morning ran into the cool security guard he just waved to me and kept it moving, I missed a nice fat one wasn't hooked right, and pulled in 4 decent ones didn't think they would replace my lowest 19" so I didn't bother measuring them Caught them all last night using a swimming shad same kind I hook the monster on, not sure what brand they are though originally thought Storm but they aren't This morning I got 3 of them on a white ribbit frog and missed the biggest one and caught the other one on a KVD 1.5 crank bait in crawfish color

Round 2 I am on my way back to the scene of the crime

Same colors I use during the day senko black with blue flake, June bug

I need to be in my Zen next time I go after BOTH them thangs next time lol and focus

Lou I use to use my scale religiously before this competition, now the tape measure took its place. Anything I felt was close to 3lbs was on the scale. My scale is always in my bag but will be dusted off when I get my new PB

Lol yes I did pass up grown up activities. I'm not really a drinker but I might have to start I still can not get that image out of my head

Most of the ponds/lakes I fish are generally shallow since I'm a bank fisherman. I would probably say deepest I caught a fish was maybe between 10 and 14 feet maybe

Yea not as much as those who don't have a license and get caught and have to pay that hefty fine that some states impose.

This fish could ruin my relationship with my girl. She was so sick of hearing about it and knowing that I was thinking about it. She wanted to do some "grown up activities" before bed but she knew I couldn't stop thinking about it so she got ticked and slept in the other room. This will haunt me for god knows how long man. I planned on going fishing this morning got up at 4:30 after going to sleep at 3:15, I sat there dwelling on the fish and lost all motivation to go out lol.

That could possibly be it, I'm not sure cuz Czar showed me the spot. But fish of a lifetime in there check, fish catching air check, and big gator check (there are signs but we didn't see any) so this could be the pond once you are out of the development the 295 exit is like right there. I am going back there tonight around 6:30 or 7 til dark again see what happens this time

That's a nice fish how much you think it weighed?
