5.3 pounds on a Watermelon Red Senko with a red 4/0 hook with a weight pegged in the tail at Lake Amistad in Del Rio Texas this past weekend. Man it was awesome! DannyG

welcome to the forum man, i just went through the same thing but with a used boat and i ended up getting a Bass Cat Pantera II, they have some awesome customer service I guarantee you! Man guys your hard on the kid, he talking about his Daddys boat Im sure. DannyG

thank you, good link!

If I happen to catch the big one this upcoming weekend at Amistad here in TX Id like to know how to measure it to have a replica made so I dont have to kill the fish! Any tips would be useful, thanks to all of you who will help! Bitman PS Whats the limit poundage of a TX Share Lunker fish? Im thinking 13 is the number! I know thats nearly impossible but if it happens to me I would like to be ready

Whats a good comfortable pdf to use for tourneys and fun fishing? Should I go with the Sospenders style or a standard jacket type. Lets hear opinions on both please. Thanks Bitman

Your right , its a Pro V. It shoots the hole really nice. Its got a jack plate on it and Itll run 64 with just me in it and 55 with me and my fishing buddy. SO thats plenty for me. I didnt want to overboat myself at this stage of the game if that makes sense. I want to become a proficient boater before I drop 20K on a newer boat, LOL. Thanks and keep it coming Bitman

It only took me 5 years to wear the wife down but she finally agreed to letting me get a boat. I got a 1993 Bass Cat Pantera II with a 150 Yamaha ProMax 2 stroke. Its in very good condition especially since we wrewired most of it and replaced the electroninc dash with the replacement from Bass Cat. Anyhow Im looking for tips on boating in general!!!!!!!! All tips are welcome and the more the merrier! Ive always been the guy fishing from the back of the boat except the rare occasion when I was able to borrow a boat. So Im looking for any and all tips, you post it Ill read it! Ill post up some pictures when I get a chance. Thanks in advance Bitman

ANy Bass clubs out here in West Texas? I live in Midland so if you know of any in Midland, Odessa, Andrews, Lubbock, San Angelo or any other surrounding areas? Id appreciate any info you have, websites, contact information, tournament schedules and so on. Very new to this and looking for some help starting. Thanks Bitman

We have them in Lake Alan Henry near Lubbock TX and they are pretty tough to catch, at least for me Although you will catrch a large fish ever once and a while. But the number of fish you catch in a day are few. I do know alot of folks catch bass and some bigger ones on minners out of the crappie house, Im guessing the fish know where the easy meals are, LOL DannyG They also have it stocked with Smallies and Spots, Ive never caught even one of either so they are very hard to catch

you left off Skeeter, shame on you -

whats the website, im a mag junkie too Thanks dannyg

There is an article in the current Bassin' magazine written by Mr Bill Dance huimself. I havent read it but if theres anything good in it Ill let you know. Late

ANyone purchased these? They are kinda expensive, you get 12 dvds and 12 audio cds for $274 I think. Are they worth it? I wonder if they are that informative. Holler if youve tried them. Danny ps the website is dancefishingschool.com

good post, im wanting to know the same sort of imformation, im looking forward to responsed on this one guys, help us rooks out. danny

Welcome from another newbie here! Id guess 2.5 to 3 pounds max. About the size I usually catch when I catch a decent fish. They fight good still dont they??? Keep up the good work! DannyG

Im settled in out here in West Texas, Midland to be exact. Ive been fishing Amistad and Alan Henry lately since their good bass lakes. I used to fish some at Brownwood but mainly for white bass and crappie. Yeah I need to read more of those articles on here, Im gonna start printing some off daily and highlighting all the stuff I understand, some of its very overwhelming!!! Thanks so far to all of you! DannyG

Im from Houma, Terrebonne Parish. I have fished alot off the coast of Cocodrie and Montague. We also had a camp on Timbalier island, that was awesome! But I like the bass hunting alot too. DannyG Geaux Tigers!!!!!

Hello all, Im new to the forum and Im new to serious bass fishing. I grew up in South Louisiana so I did my fair share of bassin but we mostly fished for reds and specs in the bays. I live in West Texas now, about 3.5 hours from Amistad I might add so thats cool. Anyhoo Im wanting to learn more about bass fishings ins and outs. Do you know of any good books that are educational in terms of bass fishing? I would like to learn more about using electronincs on the boat, different presentations and why they work and when to use them, about weather conditions. You catch my drift by now Im sure. I would like to get better at this sport and join a club one day and maybe fish a few tourneys in the long run. I really love fishing and I enjoy bassin way more than any salt water fishing, I guess because it seems like hunting on the water. ANyway holler with any help and info you may have. Im sure Im gonna learn a lot on the boards as well.
