Wow, really nice pigs being caught!  Congrats to those that have caught fish in 2017 I am very jealous 

There are some nice fish being caught.   In the upper midwest I'm just happy to get out.   Last Sunday was my first trip of the year, this was the second fish I caught of the year (first was a dink).   About 1/2 dozen like this one, not a bad start to the season.

I've had a slow 2017 until this week.

 

Caught both in the same area, maybe same bed, 3 days apart. Both off of watermelon trick worm on a bubba shot. Battery was dead on scale for the first one, but it was 22.5". Second bass was much thicker, 22" @ 6lb13oz. For whatever reason they look kind of small in the photos, I'm guessing its camera angle. PBs for retention ponds+bank fishing.

 

I can see the fish mouth is bigger than your fist and that is a really good size fish for sure.

The smaller females are hitting the banks so that's always my sign to start throwing a bream colored chatterbait. I caught three fish in the 3.5 to 4lb range. I didn't get a picture of the first. I had a hell of a time getting her released. Oh and Go Ducks! First Final Four since before the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!

 

 

Had a tournament at Table Rock this weekend. I think out kicker on Sunday really wanted my jerkbait. 

It really freaks me out when they eat it like that. I see them come up and I just know the bait is destined to pop out with one headshake!

They will even bite on a dreary day on your lunch break!

 

 

 

Been fishing from shore after work most nights, it's been a lot of fun:
 

How'd the tournament go ?

Nice fish.

I went out last night to fish a little bit with my wife also. I saw a lot of activities, boiling on surface, not sure if it bass or carp. I did not have any top water with me, I'll try again tomorrow night with all kind of top water lure I have lol.

BTW, I missed a hook set on one bass that bite my missile bait D stroyer on 3/0 weighted hook, this is second time I miss hook set at night, not really sure why?. May be I set hook too fast or too slow, but I always make sure I feel the fish on the line before setting the hook.

Wind and rain 43 degrees today but was rewarded with this nice 5 pound bass. Was at the place only 15 minutes and caught it, only bass of the short day.

Caught on Mepps in-line spinner using Avid 8' ML/Mod rod Daiwa RG-AB reel 8# Nanofil.

My best Mississippi bass. Never fished that state until this week. 

Wow - nice looking bass there @Dwight Hottle.  The fish aren't safe from you, no matter what state you're fishing in.
