Never forget Craigslist, a lot of people upgrade and unload their perfectly good old motors for a bargain.

Anyone out and have any success yet?

Don't forget farming, increase in development, and the general increase in the use of chemicals in our society that continue to pollute our waterways. BUT, we must never forget that bodies of water go through a "natural" process, that eventually ends in their disappearance.

Nice! Look like giants in my book.

I've noticed this also. I once observed a "wolf pack" of 3 lb LMB following two channel cats that were rooting around in the grass. They literally followed the cats all over, hanging right on their backs, just waiting for something to scurry away. They were very difficult to catch because they were so focused and moving pretty fast.

Poor man's bonefish!

Depends on conditions, time of day and year, but generally I start with a top water, buzzbait, spook, popper, frog,ect..

LunkerFisherman just purchased a Sea Eagle inflatable kayak, you could PM him, and see what he thinks of it.

65 lb. braid! That's heavy slop frog or punchin line. Like others said, you could down size line, and gain some capacity, although you don't have to worry about spooling out on a cast. I once cast an umbrella rig 80+ yards, of course it wasn't still attached to my rod and reel.

Well...that we can believe, who doesn't like turtles?http://mashable.com/2015/04/07/turtle-tortoise-florida-mixup/

...and still promoting their "Big Bass" program! Yay! Let's remove the biggest bass from our most productive bodies of water. Oh, bummer! I can only keep four instead of six, darn! Guess that 11 lb. LMB record will stand for a while. They just don't get it!

I don't believe it! I heard "The Mighty SPEEDBEAD" was born of no mortal mother, but arose from the water like the God Neptune upon the fins of fish, a gift to fisherman and the world!

"Crap! I had a tough day on the water, I didn't place in the money at that tourney and my mortgage payment is due!" Yeah, right!

Baby BBZ Shads, BBZ Shads, Mattlures U2 Gill(or similar swimbaits). Plastics, Keitech Swing Impact(Fats mostly). Getting them back from snags is "relatively" easy, back from cast offs,or breaks, not so much.

I always wondered why anyone would want to become a professional fisherman any way? The last thing I would want is to have to "make a living" off of fishing, turning the whole experience into work, and the pressures that entails, is counter-intuitive to the reason why, personally, I fish. So,in short, if you have the opportunity, and good fortune...go to college(but work on your spelling first, the spelling-grammar Nazis will get you.).

As an example of a way fish can get from one body of water to another...I fish a pond, former sand pit, that was stocked with LMB, and Crappie. Long story short, river over two miles away floods, and the pond now has SMB,Striper,Musky, and some Walleye.

Gary Yamamoto's "new" rig, Kut worm, center hooked, with a nail weight? ...or are you talking about the bait rig, which I've used, otherwise, I have not used Yamamoto's rig?

"PACK OUT MORE THAN YOU PACK IN!"

Don't know, but probably, he catches fish on most all of his baits...
-
Like I said, possible, but not ideal...same goes for forage. "Ideal" situation you would have self-sustaining population of bait fish and blue gill, but every pond has natural sources...craws, creek chub, terrestrials ect...that could sustain a small population of bass. Possible, but not ideal.Put it in perspective, this "pond" is a lot bigger than yours, and it still has winter kill...http://www.bassresource.com/bass-fishing-forums/topic/155664-some-bad-news-about-one-of-my-favorite-springtime-spots/

I will definitely check it out, because I've caught a lot of smallies, none have looked like that, especially the variation.

What did you use to take those first four pics, the fish look so vibrant?
