Catt, You having gator tonite??

 

Caught a good one yesterday from a local strip pit, of course didn't have my scale with me. Some weight guesses please..? Thanks in advance. (She was immediately released after video.)

 

 

 

 

I was plan to take the boat out to check the shallow creek to see if any big bass hide in there, but my wife got a honey-do-list for me. Chang of plan and I didn't have a lot of time, instead just went to the spot I caught those 5 bass a few days ago. 

Since I lost my black-blue, I tied Seibert Fogy chatterbait in green pumpkin with Zman diezel trailer. Caught total of 3 with the biggest around 4.5lbs.

Senko got the big one of the outing right at 4 pounds. St Croix 7'6" Legend Elite, Daiwa RG-AB, 8# Nanobraid. Hit about 20 feet out just past a weedline in 2-3 fow.

Man thats a tough one. The mouth and head on that girl is huuuge. Then it looks a little skinny. My PB was 6.01 at 22". Was a stout fish. Not big and fat belly, just solid. Ill take a wild guess of 5.10. 

My new pb, 5.35. Northern Wi fall bite is on!!

Nice bass! Congratulations on your new PB! ?

Pop Max doing work this morning. Gotta love the fall topwater bite.

You are a smallmouth assassin. The Lindners, KVD, and Zona have nothing on you. 

Here it is October and I'm catching fish 12 to 22 foot on main lake points . Had my limit in  less than two hours  then went to the shore looking for bigger fish . I should have stayed deep . Caught them on Berkely Dredgers 14.5 , 20.5 and 25.5 .   

 

Them dredgers now your go to? I see you putting them to work

Yeah pretty much .  They all have tracked true and they stay in they strike zone  longer  than my other baits .

Got to leave the shop at noon today for a meeting that got canceled, so why go back to work when I can go fish my favorite spot, New Orleans City Park, for a few hours? Needless to say it was a good trip. Caught 6 in just over 3 hours of fishing. 3 between 1.5 and 2lbs, ***.1lbs, and one 4.7lbs (pictured). Got em all on a custom 1/2oz flipping jig that I made during our shop meeting this morning ?

Sayy whaaaa?? What was the meeting about? How to make jigs 101? My boss loves bass fishing, but if he seen me making a jig during a meeting he would smack me out of my chair backwards!  

We went fishing for rainbows today on a rainy and overcast day.

My sister manage to hook into one of these whatever they are and it was burping when i was trying to get the hook out.

We have never caught one of these before or knew these fish were in a river/stream/etc.

Was pretty interesting to say the least.

@Angealy looks to be a fall fish.

Tied my black and blue chatter bait back on today and used a 4" watermelon red flake Yum Dinger as a trailer. Went to the smaller pond over by the trees in the back. Made a few casts and nothing happened. Went to make another cast and as my luck would have it draped it 20' up over a branch in that tree. My bait still landed in the water near where I was trying for. So I slowly reeled it back in hopes of being able to get it back without snagging it on the branch. As I continued to slowly reel it in it barely broke the surface of the water on it's way up the tree when this almost 1lber jumped on it and hooked himself through the roof of his mouth. Of course not knowing he was hooked that way til I got him in, I set the hook in a downward motion since my line was still draped over the branch. Anyways I reeled him up the tree and kinda popped him over the branch and he did a high dive into the water. I quickly reeled him on in, unhooked him and took a couple pics. Fortunately he didn't get hurt during all that, I released him and he darted back out to the deeper water of the pond. I can honestly say I've never treed a fish before today's episode...lol. ?

A sucker maybe?

Looks like a creek chub. Trout streams in northern Iowa, where I grew up were loaded with them. They make great catfish bait.

X2. Definitely not a sucker, looks to be a fallfish.

On a day where the bite was tough, this was the ONLY fish landed.  It came on a cast where my brother rainbowed his line over a branch and this little guy jumped out of the water to grab his senko as we were trying to undo the mess.  Unconventional, but kept the skunk away nonetheless!

@PAbasser927 I didn't know bass could fly, Today i learned something.

I've been rainbow trout fishing for the past day and not so lucky catching them so i went back to bass for a bit.

I got to try out some new lures and had a blast caught a huge bass on a lip less crank bait on something i have never caught anything on.

But he got off my lure maybe the hooks were to small/powerful fish/etc.

But we did catch a few nice fish on a lipless and square crank bait with my sister.

I caught something before heading home, I believe it was a pickerel and i lost my red lipless and all i could think of in that moment was taps, I think i need to invest in steel leaders.

Your brother sounds like he had some of my luck. We should go fishing some time...lol. ?

Had that happen before a few times. Once I got hung up in a tree . When I jerked it loose it went over me and went the same distance on the other side of the boat. When I started reeling in a bass had got on there,and I caught him.

Way to stay with him Mike.

Sometimes we do what we gotta do to land that bass...lol. Thanks @N Florida Mike!

Definitely a fall fish. We catch them on the Susquehanna every once in a while. The grunting is a dead giveaway.
