Thanks, I was telling MCS, that that fish was in a wolf pack that kept passing thru every few minutes from where I was fishing. There were six of them that looked to be in the 3-5+ lb range. The cool thing about wolf packs if you convince one to bite the others will join in.

Yea that looks like a 7.5" maybe even 8!!! Lol

Me and your son are HAWG certified

  • Super User

I caught an 19", 18", and 16" but nothing compared to the fight that the little 7 inch put up! Felt like there was a weed stuck to my line and then the Hawg emerged hooked in the lower lip.

Got an early start today finally. Started with a albino swim'n Fluke with a keel weighted hook. 2 or 3rd cast I had one on, jumped it was nice, jumped again it was gone :dazed-7:  Missed another on a baby bass fluke  but didn't get to see it and then finally rigged a rattlesnake with a 1/16 bullet. Pulled in this guy. I will call him 17.5"  I stepped on the tape to take the pic so it is starting in between 1 and 2" mark. The one I lost was bigger, by a pound or two, consider yourselfs lucky guys. :laugh5:

 

Man this is a cool thread, now that I have seen it may try to get some posted. Need a tape measure though!

My top 5 so far is 90 (20, 19, 18, 17, 16)... I have to replace that 7"

I was trying to get this atleast 7lb to bite everything but it wouldn't bite. I tried senko, jig, trick worm, rodent, lizard, and even a crank nothing. It was in the same area for a while and then after about 30 mins I couldn't see it anywhere. It was frustrating to see it look at my bait and chase it but not take it

  • Super User

Man AK-NJ you don't mess around. I like that. I am with MCS, pics??  I am going to my area today, weather keeps threatening though. MCS, good seeing you up on the board. Too bad you missed that big one.

  • Super User

Gotta DQ myself, don't carry a tape, but I measured these 2 on my 20" rod mark......20 and 22, didn't guestimate the others.

I was actually fishing for peacocks in a feeder canal that feeds into the main by my house. Water was high and the recent rain moved out the top slop, no peacocks but these.  Don't report me, lol, but I walked them over to one of my ponds about 30' away. 6ht3l0.jpg wwkuwo.jpg

I have been having luck in the AM around 8:30. I've been getting the bigger ones on 6" senkos and swim jigs.

  • Super User

That 18" was one of my favorite catches of all time! I saw that one following a smaller one so I threw my senko out missed the area they were at. So I cast again and then I'm reeling and I feel my line go I set the hook and am reeling it in. Then the hook comes loose and my senko fly up out the water and somehow landed right by where the 1st fish got off and then I see the 2nd one slam it the second the senko hit the water and take off. It fought like a beast.

  • Super User

Wow!! 5 days in and you set the bar at 90inches already AK-NJ. YOU THE MAN!!

  • Author

So I went out today for 2.5 hours with a jig and some trailers (never fished a setup like that) and all I got was 1 7" bass :-(

 

I don't think I was doing anything wrong. I let it sink, twitched it, hopped it, and swam it too. Nothing except that one fish when I was about to head back home. Lame...

 

So do I need a pic if the fish was 7 inches? You guys believe me it was that long right? ok good, so I'm at 7 inches now...

What kind of jig u using?

I usually use a swim jig with a rodent trailer and cast it out as far a I can past the point I want to focus on. Let it sit and bounce it like a football jig then retrieve it fast and repeat. I hav a lot of success doing it like that. And if you see structure u want to bounce about couple feet before it and then let it sit and speed retrieve and the kill it. Happened to me 4 times today.

I went back out before dark and I pulled in 3 more nice ones two 19" and one 18"

My top 5 is 20, 19, 19, 19, 18, 95 total

I will post the new 3 tomorrow after I get back from the golf course with Bass Czar.

Ill goto Publix tomorrow and measure a bag of chinese tilapia fillets to get on the board

  • Super User

AK-NJ, you have one heck of a honey hole to produce the fish your catching. Would you say those fish are averaging 4lbs each or more? I went out yesterday to my spot thinking I had them dialed in, and nothing. My hats off to you with the numbers you are putting up.

Yea most of them were in that range nothing over 5lbs tho. I went out to the golf course today with Bass Czar, I got there way later than I expected slept in. I didn't catch anything he pulled in a few nothing too big. Yesterday the fish were dialed in this morning, for me atleast, not at all.

I had most of my fish caught during the evening so I am going to go back tonight.

But I am telling you if any of you guys have any golf courses you need to fish them! If its a private course you will need permission if its public than its fair game.
