Worst Part Of Fishing...
I had half of my stomach removed when I was 25yrs old.Two years later,I had my gallbladder removed,so I get back up with bile.Onyl two ways to get rid of it. Well I got into bass fishing in the 80's and joined a club.ONE year our monthly club tournament came on Mother's Day.I tried getting it changed,but the guys wouldn't do it.I was up for most improved angler of the year,so I had no choice,but too fish it.Well,from the time we launched the boats,this junk hit me.It was my boat and I kept running into the woods.I felt sorry for my partner,he wasn't fishing much.I made it through the day,but I was so weak,i couldn't load the boat.The guys called up my wife,she came and got me,and one of the guys bought my boat home.I ended up in bed for a week,with this junk in my stomach.From that day on,I nevered fished an important day.Oh yeah,I did get most improved angler of the year,and made Delaware's eight man team.

The One That Got Away
Back in the 80's before I really got into bass fishing,I had a 14 ft jon boat.Well one hot summer night,July 3rd,my dad and I fished all night.At 6am I caught my pb,on a buzz bait.This bass did just what I always hoped a big bass would do.It put up a show.Tail walking on the water,diving and coming up,trying to shake her head.I landed her and weighed her,6lbs.Back in the day,all I had was a metal stringer.I was going have it mounted.Dad looked at the rusty stringer,and said,it won't hold her.I said sure it will,while I was putting her on the stringer.We continued fishing,and about half hour later,I said dad ,let me see the fish.He pulled up the stringer and it was empty.Dad I said what you do with my bass?I started looking in the boat for it,but where you goona hide a bass in a jon boat?Well she got off and the tears started coming.We get to the ramp,some guy is putting in.He asked have any luck?I shouted back,shut the hell up.LOLDad told the guy,I had a bad night.For weeks I ctried over that fish.Now every July 4th,I still think about that fish.

Are You A "better" Fisherman Alone Or With Others?
I don't think that I fish better alone,or if I'm with someone.I do enjoy taking somebody,not only for the friendship,but to do stuff that I can't.Because of my mistake knees,I can't bend or even kneel to land a fish.And getting out of the boat,it's hard.Being i'm on disabality,it's hard finding someone who can fish during the week.On another bass forum that I joined,lots of guys from Delaware,says they'll go.But when I invite them,most have reasons why they can't go.

Why Should I Use Jig Heads
I fish small ponds and lakes in Delaware.Most places are 6-8' deep,and are full of different types of weeds and grass.I use reg.worm hooks on all of my soft baits.So why or should I use jig heads?

Double Catch With My Son
The winds were suppose to blow 15-25 today in Delaware.I chosed a small pond because of the winds.I know this pond doesn't hold big fish,but I figured my son and myself,could catch a few small ones.I threw a blue/black swimjig and a chatterbait.I couldn't get a hit.From the back of the boat,my son was twitching worms in the pads,and nailing them.He ended up catching seven bass.I tried twitching a worm in the pads,but nothing was working for me.I went back throwing the swim jig,and finally caught my only fish.What made it special,was that my son caught one at the same time.It was the first time that we caught a bass at the same time.We were pumping fists lol and having a good time.I fish with several different friends,but their is something special,about spending a few hrs.on the water with my son,Billy http://i823.photobucket.com/albums/zz151/pizzaman24/photo.jpg

Full Moon And Bass On The Beds
Here in Delaware for the next two days,temps will be near 90 degrees.I've seen a few beds with bass on them.When it gets real hot,I don't fish during the day.Our lakes and ponds aren't deep,seven feet is average.If the bass are on the beds,is it worth going night fishing,with the moon being full this week?Night fishing for me is like 11pm- 8am.

How Often Do You Fish?
In 2010,I had my left knee replaced,after 12 opertions on it.2013 It was redone.Because of all the opertions on it,I became disabled.I can fish everday from 4-8 hrs.Just depends how much pain I can take that day.Lots of time i'll let whom ever i'm fishing with run the trolling motor,for the day or a few hrs.

Adjusting A Baitcaster For A Kvd Frog,or Any Lite Lure
I'mjust getting into baitcasting this year.I was throwing a KVD frog yesterday,all I was getting was some bad back lashes.I'm using a Quantum reel,I believe it's got either 50 or 65lb braid on it.I bought it from a guy,& it came spooled.Do I adjust the mags or the big knob,to avoid back lashes?I'm not having any trouble with heavier baits,just with the litghter baits.

New To Wacky Fishing And I Have A Question
I was fishing with a friend yesterday,and from the back of the boat,he caught seven bass.I caught none.He was using some type of lizard,I was determine to catch a bass,wacky worming.I had plenty of hits,but who knows if they were bass.The fish would run with the worm,I set the hook,but nothing.One fish ran about ten feet,had the line tight.I set the hook,but no fish.My friend thinks that the fish are hitting the tail of the worm,using the wacky style,and not getting the hook.He said a bass will attack the head of it's prey,for a quick kill.So with wacky fishing,how do the bass grab the worm?I hope that i'm making sense,so I can get an answer.
