5 pounder on the Ned Rig! Hard to get perspective without someone else taking the pic, but it was officially 5 pounds even. 

 

 

 

 

Wow that's a pig! Looks like a pretty stout hook on that jighead?  Pretty heavy head too?

1/8 head. Casts pretty nicely on spinning tackle. It is a pretty stout hook, a lot of people say to set the hook lightly on a Ned Rig, but I set it pretty hard. Super sharp, had no problem hooking fish.

Got another nice one today. Wasn't expecting to pull this fish out of a laydown on a flipping jig. Thought for sure I had a 5lb largemouth. Nope, 18" 2.8lb smallie. Boy can they fight!

 

 

Killing them!

Been on an awesome jig bite lately. There's absolutely nothing I like better than when they eat jigs on a long cast on or near the bottom.

 

41 keepers in ~10 hours on the water (3 trips), all over 13", none over 16" unfortunately.

 

 

All on my walmart one dollar special jig (heavily modified of course).

 

 

 

 

A Hudd68 type bass (wish I was clever enough to come up with that). These little fish pull SO hard.

 

 

This fish at least has the length to girth ratio in its favor!

 

 

 

Think I'll take a break for a few days.

 

 

 

5.8 pounds on a jig in a 3 hour Wednesday night tournament. Big fish and helped our other two fish to be good enough for 1st place with big fish. Pretty decent night.

 

 

 

Tight lines

Well I didn't catch the 7 lber like I was hoping for the Tournament. BUT I did catch a new personal best and my first Florida Trophy Catch Bass. Submitted it last night. 8.90 lbs, 26" length.

For the All About the Bass Benefit Tournament.

Had the pleasure of fishing with my bro in law Tyler. That is his first NJ LM bass. Set the hook so hard on that poor little guy he fell down.lol He lives in Texas and this was the first time I got to do some fishing with him and it was a treat. That guy has forgot more about bass fishing than I know and I am a better angler for just the few days I got to fish with him. Can't wait to do it again!

 

 

That is a donkey even by Texas standards

d**n! That's a slob right there!

5 LB 1 OZ on a Chug'n Spook Jr, frog pattern from the kayak. It was almost dark as you can see from the photo. It only had one of the 6 trebles, under the jaw. I had to wear it down to get it lipped without wearing those hooks.

Fishing has been good up here in the northeast !

 

Got this one the other day in Maine.

 

 

 

That is a big ole pig for northern New England.

 

Beautiful Bass with nary a scratch on her. Great Job.

Biggest of the year so far

 

 

This was one of the thickest, roundest most healthy looking bass I've ever caught.

 

 

That Bass gets to feed often and in large quantities! 

 

Nice going there for the Northeast.

Got another nice northern largemouth last Saturday. A 5 lb 5 oz largemouth from Lake Champlain.

 

19" 2.6lbs swim jig

17" 2.3lbs T-rig U-Tail worm

BBZ dink action

Tequila Sunrise YUM curly tail worm. Wasn't paying attention and my line had disappeared! That's what I found on the end of it!

Caught this Florida Trophy Catch certified beast yesterday around 1:30p when it was about 95°+ out here in Jacksonville, FL. It was awesome got her on the gopro too

When I stop being lazy I am gonna make a post about the year I have had it has been awesome, and if I throw my buddy's pics up it goes to unbelievable

not much biting.

This one from a few days ago qualifies as fun By Catch or Nuisance, depending on your perspective.

Pretty fish AJ, I like the storage setup you have for all of those rods! 

Got my second largest of the year so far on a buzzbait this past Thursday right after a torrential downpour that I got to thoroughly enjoy since my rain gear was in the truck.

 

Caught this 20.5" guy back on the 4th on Monroe Lake in Indiana dragging a Zoom Ol' Monster on a 1/2 oz swinging jig head.  Only fish I caught all weekend.

I was just putting around side imaging areas and found an area where they dumped an old road bed in about 40 fow.  I mark the spots and troll over them and throw a down a dropshot.  This is what I got.

 

 

 

There were four of these things on this pile.  I have never caught these channels out on the main lake before, or have them this color.

Nice Cat ~

 

And how long did it take on that first one before all that wishful thinking of "I hope this is a Bass" went out the window ?

I love fishing buzzbaits in the rain, one of my favorite ways to fish. 

Spawning male, they get really dark and really aggressive this time of the year when they're spawning. 

That makes sense.  I seen a group of them in a corner of the harbor but that was in 3 feet of water.  Do they also spawn in deep water too?

Thanks.  Usually when I hook smallmouth they always make a run for the surface.  This guy wanted to stay planted on the bottom, but I was hoping that maybe 8lb smallies fight differently.
