CPBassFishing

No big fish in the pond. It is just full of small bass from 3/4 pound to 1.5 pounds. I wish......

It's just a genetic variation, more melanin that is usual in that area. I have caught several bass like that before.

I'd love to fish with Gerald Swindle. Site members- Speedbead, Big O, JFrancho, & Glenn

Lesson of the story....... never use anything short of 50lb braid for frog fishing. Sorry to hear about that. What line were you using?

Try a livetarget 45T or a spro baby popping frog. Small mouths mean smaller baits.

I use the 4.5 and 6" exclusively for shaky head fishing. The softness creates unmatched action. Black grape is my go-to color, the 4.5 goes on an 1/8 oz megstrike shake2 and the 6" on a 1/4 oz.

whaaaaaaaaaatttt did I just watch? This little girl is screaming a metal song she and her brother wrote called "Zombie Skin" on america's got talent. I had to share this craziness with you guys.

You tie a dog toy to your rod and play fetch by casting and reeling as fast as you can.

Well, I haven't experienced any paranormal activities, but my mom has on april 1st! I own a universal TV remote...... let's just say I played a little harmless prank on her from the top of the stairs.

Spit on it? If that fails, spread the skirt band with needlenose pliers and put it on the hub.

I can't see them tasting very good out of a golf course pond with fertilizer runoff. As much as I love a good fish fry I'll pass on the cancer.

5 in the past 2 weeks fishing with bass lures. I can't imagine how many I'd catch on nightcrawlers. Got pics of 3 of them. Caught on a tube: And another on a tube: Buzzbait, seriously? I caught another one on a 4" fluke and another on a jitterbug. These crazy things fight harder than a bass of the same size and are twice as aggressive. When they hit, they thump it hard. Pretty fish.

For punching, I use a heavy action rod, 65lb braid, with a tungsten weight ranging from 1 to 1.5 oz. I peg the weight with a 6th sense bobber stop. These work the best for me. Following the weight is a 4/0 gamakastu heavy cover flipping hook. The stock keeper is junk so I cut it off and solder the keeper directly to the hook. The only bait I punch with is a powerteam lures bully grass devil. It slides through the mats easily, lasts 5-6 fish, and gets great hookups. Here's a pic of it. Also, if I am targeting larger fish I add a punch skirt between the weight and the hook.

I have both.

Shane and Speed are already being very generous. Quit begging for table scraps and let whoever guesses win the baits.

Wow, I thought I had nailed it by guessing your PB weight (7-9) but I guess I was wrong.

Caught and snagged are two completely different things.

$15 bass pro shops Z9R Perch swimbait. Broke off on 20lb braid when I let my friend throw it on his rod. I didn't really care because I never caught anything on it and the swimming action was so unrealistic.

Big shakey head (1/2 oz head, 7-10" worm) Football jig (3/4 oz) 6XD

My guess is 79.

Using barbless hooks is just begging to lose half your fish...... why would you do this in an effort to make a hole half the size of when the hook with the barb is half a millimeter?

I catch em all them time on livetarget frogs. Caught 2 this morning.

I agree with your sentence about keeping tightness and slack in your line at the same time. Fluorocarbon really helps me with this because of its slack line sensitivity. I keep enough slack so I can feel the fish but it does not feel me. Great post Catt.

when I first go to the site I get a mobile version, then I click go to full site. When uploading pictures I start a post then click "more reply options" in the bottom right corner of the text box. This lets me upload pictures. Not sure about "my content".

2 minute bike ride to the end of my street pond. 7 minute bike ride to another pond next to a community pool. 15 minute bike ride to my favorite gold course pond.
