buzzed bait

megabass giant dog x in white pyton or black orochi.... they are costly, but it's hard to lose a topwater bait! not saying i can't do it or it hasn't been done, but harder than most to lose!

nice video, awesome looking lake and even better fish! and i'm not sure who the guy is rocking the University of North Carolina hat is, but i like him already!

sometimes they do what you expect them to, sometimes they make you look like a fool, sometimes you fool them.... it's fishing. way to adjust, do something different and get paid off for it!

nice going man!

because they shot the moon landing in a hollywood studio (i had to....... now enter the conspiracy theorists)

then next thing you know, you'll have some champion extremes....

so, where exactly is this place? how far from stone mountain are we talking?

get you a fuji tip repair kit (available at a lot of places, walmart, gander, cabela's, dick's sporting goods, etc.) pretty easy to do it yourself honestly (if i can do it, i assure you that you could do it)

speed spool all day

big game is great, but i've been using sufix siege lately and it's doing very well for me.

in that price range, i'd strongly consider Dobyns fury rods. they have excellent customer service and the fury is a pretty good stick for the price.

^^^ what he said

no different than another pond or body of water.... start out with what you're comfortable with and make adjustments until you find what they're willing to bite. right now the soft plastics are on fire around here (texas rigged worms, craws and senkos)

i honestly have better luck in the later hours of the day than early with the topwater.... so i say yes. And when it gets dark, tie on a black bait (buzzbait, popper, walker) and go to town, especially when the nights are warm down here in GA!

i'm pretty sure it was Jeff @00 mod that posted some pics up a while back of some PVC creations that looked pretty cool, maybe he'll come along shortly and share if it was in fact him.

you can always downsize the frog too.... if no dice there, i'd be in agreement with papajoe that they're slapping at it as a threat to the intruder.

HAHA i said relative so don't be a hater John!!! it was low 40's and 15-20 MPH wind, also known as "ideal conditions" there in Nebraska.... go ahead throw a rotten tomato at me!! "Boo this man"

he's too busy talking to ott defoe and scott martin about how KVD doesn't "show up"...

man that's a pile right there!!!! nice work bob!

i agree completely, but "catch" being the operative word!! i'd much rather catch, than not catch!

Went back to the place where i lost a big one last weekend with a buddy. We launched the kayaks yesterday morning around 6AM and it was cold and windy (i know this is a relative term) but for Georgia, it was COLD and WINDY!! I tried to get some action on the buzzbait/spinnerbait on the edges of the pads, but nothing going there. I could see and hear some topwater activity in the thick of the pads though. i opted to pull out my brand spanking new spro frog and put it to work in the pads. After about 30 minutes of that i saw some activity near a nice little open pocket so i worked my frog through there a couple times, nothing. Tossed a weightless t rig senko in there and saw a swirl, but no strike. So threw the frog in there again and CRASH-BANG-SLURP! Hookeset away and she went straight for the pads.... after a little tangle with her in the pads, i pulled her up and realized it was a little bigger than i thought it was at first! Right at 22", but no weight on her (see my other thread about needing scales after losing mine last week). Only caught 1 more dink all day, but this fatty had my spirits high all day!

i used to catfish quite a bit with nightcrawlers and would catch some bass as a by product from time to time. nothing wrong with that!

10 fish in 2 hours sounds like a nice evening to me man! nice job!

i say plump and lovely!!! nice pig there big o

awesome day, awesome fish and awesome post there Will!
