Don't want to start any catch n release or catch n keep controversy but my first fish over 10 lbs. Got a little too excited wasn't thinking straight. Matthew it was 28" long.

Thanks everyone. Appreciate the it.

Here's my personal best I caught last year. Didn't get to weigh it until I got home. Weight cam in at 14lbs.

When it's cold, I'm using finesse techniques. Fish it slooowww... Deadsticking the bait will provoke a strike as well.

Thank you!

Hi all, I gotta say this has been one of the best resources for bass fishing. I've been fishing all my life but Bassresource has really opened my eyes into the world of bass fishing. Just wanted to say hi and join the conversations.

I live in California and some lakes I've fished are filled with it. That stuff is pretty thick all the way down. I've been surrounded by acres of it. I've fished pockets formed on the surface and found fish schooled up in those areas. Sometimes you can find underwater pockets created by the Hydrillia folding over forming something like a canopy and bass will school there too. But it takes alot of blind probing around and patience to find underwater pockets.
