After work, had to get my fix. Females are getting their grub on finally! Ned rig (Green Pumpkin Orange) caught right off the bank. 
 

 

Nice one @Dorado

Got out the last 2.5 hours of daylight. 
Had a urge to use my finesse Combo with 8 pound line , and tied on a t rigged baby brush hog .Got the first one on the 2nd cast at the dock before I even left. Got the middle fish on the same, and got the last one off a sea wall where fish are known to bed, on a 6 inch senko type bait. Also got 6 or so on the super fluke.

Started off on fire Friday. Cold morning so I'd started the Merc and was waiting for her to warm up, caught 4 right by the ramp on a Berkley Frittsider, including a 5.25 pounder before we even went to our first spot. Only ended up with 10 by the end of the day, plus a heartbreaker tail hooked carp and side swung drum.  My picture hurt someones feelings though, called me out for catching a "release fish", almost a full week after the last hot water shootout and claiming I catch all my fish from the boat ramp and don't figure anything out, so I posted the previous 10 big ones I'd caught, none of which were from the ramp area. Those were probably just lucky catches though ?‍♂️

You ought to challenge him to a one- on- one competition. My bet is you would never hear from him again...

Nice Bass Blue ~

The rest of that's actually pretty funny.

And Mr Salty is wrong, you did figure something out.

 You figured out they were at the ramp and then how to catch them. 

A-Jay

I thought catching 4 in less than 5 minutes from a notoriously difficult lake was certainly figuring something out, but I must have violated his unwritten rules for fun fishing. Obviously doesn't watch any of my videos either. I don't try to hide them from in those, and he'd know I don't just fish the ramp then. I have a theory that maybe someone is discounting my catches to try to make a lack of their own catches, just a theory.

Nice healthy bass Clayton, congrats on putting four in the boat before “leaving fish to go find fish”! We all want to be on fish like the ones you’re posting, especially this time of year. Unfortunately the fish and weather related circumstances can make it difficult to say the least, so I say it’s great you’re able to do it. Continued good fishing and be safe.

Not very big, but it's a fish. One of my goals this year is to catch one in every month, this is my February fish. As you can see, almost half the pond/lake still had ice on it, so I'm just happy I got to fish. I caught it on a jerkbait, just like my January fish. I also went to the river afterwards and caught some small 5 inch fish that I have no idea wth it was, the scales on it almost looked like a baby carp, but the mouth didn't, but I would't really know, I've never caught a carp. My GoPro battery died out right before or else I would have a picture of it. I caught it on a Ned Rig.

 

February bassin:) 3 lb largie loving the jerkbait

We'd worked the area over pretty well by the time we left. I was hoping my backseater would get a fish or two before we took off but they were really keyed on that Frittsider for some reason, he couldn't get them to eat a similar colored Flat-A all day.

 

I had to go back and look because I noticed the black spot on that fish, I thought maybe I'd caught her before, but maybe it was her sister?

I got my first boat in July of 2015 and have also made it a goal to catch at least one fish every month of the year.  2 kids and Nebraska winters haven’t stopped my yet.  November and February are the toughest months but still going strong.

From a recent trip to Toho. Kent with a 10

Kent with an 8

I snuck out to play in the mud a couple days ago. It'd been too long since I last fished, and even longer since I caught anything. Caught one, lost another when it shook loose before I could get it lipped, and then I found one of those tiny little micro chatterbaits. So I'll call this sesh a win.

 

Giants! Nice catches

AKA Roadwarrior ?

 

I had David Harrison, who does some writing for many fishing publications, most notably In-Fisherman, in the boat with me Thursday. Being a transplant from Colorado, bass aren't his strong point and of course the lake we were on isn't nice even to the most skilled bass anglers. So he started by catching a fish on his very first cast of the morning, and after commenting how he'd never caught a bass on jerkbait, quickly caught the largest bass he'd caught since he was a teenage, maybe ever, on a 78 pointer I loaned him.

 

Caught 1 at day break. I'm not sure what type of bass this is. This is on the Sacramento river in Isleton. 

Looks like a spot @FrankN209. Check for teeth on the tongue, it’s somewhat surprising. After all, if a lake has bass and drains into the Delta, those bass are there...

Oh ok. I never caught one before. I wasn't sure if it was a spot or small mouth. Next time I catch one, I'll check for the teeth on the tongue. 

Tried ice fishing for the first time this season. Three dink yellow perch last weekend but today finally got a nice smallie.

 

 

That must be the smokies in the background. Man, I love that area.

@N Florida Mike, you guessed it! Smoky mountain national park and the cherokee national forest 

Hadn't been out in weeks and finally had a window open. My home lake has a 145 boat ProAm going on (usually only 35-40 bass boats on a typical day this time of year), so I decided to hit up a smaller nearby lake. We've had spring like temps all week and I was hoping the big girls would be on the prowl with the new(ish) moon and willing to hit or chase a swimbait... no such luck but it's gotta be getting close. Only picked up 5 for the day but at least it was a no dinks day.

 

Smallest fish of the day... and it was on the swimbait.

 

2nd biggest of the day... and it was on a Ned.

 

Biggest of the day... also on a Ned.

How do you like the Arashi? I just got one a couple weeks ago but haven't tossed it yet, same color and everything.
