Got a good schooling bass in open water on Lake Okeechobee. I was in the grass looking out over the lake and saw a school working bait. Worked my way to the school and we picked up a couple of two pounders and then started blind casting the area and this chubby girl swallows my spook. The funny thing was that another chubby bass made a play for it at the same time. Made my day since it had really been a tough day.

Isn't a topwater blow up exciting? She would have been a porker a couple months ago. Now if I can only get one or two of those tomorrow night.

She's a Beauty Shane and WTG! Awesome photo too

Nice fish, great pic!

Great fish Shane!

I also had a nice fatty hit a spook yesterday as the sun was going down. most fun way to catch them in my opinion. great pics and great bass man!

Awesome, Shane. I had a feeling you'd find some fish out there. You stay down south or make the trip to the north end?

Bingo!

Beautiful fish Shane, what did she tip the scale at ?

Ya, did you weigh her? Nice job! The way it's been overcast these past few days I was wondering what type of bite was going on out there. Lake looks calm.

i have always had a thing for the chubby ones! Nice fish brutha!

Thanks fellas! I was down south. This was an incredible trip....not because of the fishing. My co-angler was my YMCA football and baseball coach and my best friends father. I spent many a day at his house, basically like a father. He had always wanted to fish the everglades and it was truly my pleasure and honor to spend time with him since he deposited so much in my life.

Special thanks to Robert/Mike!

No problem Shane. You don't need my help though... that's bigger than any fish I've caught in the last year. That one has to be +8.
