A few from the last week:

 

 

Took the slender pointer out today for a trial run...I stopped counting once I hit 20 smallies on a dropoff from a saddle. They were really on the feed today. Nothing huge but did lose one that was probably around 4 lbs...hopefully run into more of those next week. Still waiting for the weather to cool as our air temp was in the 70's with the water in the high 60's.

They were little but the numbers were ridiculous.

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!  

I'm the assistant shop manager, which basically means I write down all the answers to the questions I think the big wigs will ask so my boss can answer them on a conference call while I sit there in silence. Perfect time to slap a few jigs together 

Been having a rough go of it prior to this week. Largest bass I've landed in a month at 3.2 right before the bottom dropped out. 

 

And then a montage of the others landed this week. 

 

I did unfortunately snag a turtle, however it was only just his fin webbing and I think he was more scared than anything. I'm really not sure if he took a nibble at the crankbait or I missed a hookset and snagged him. 

 

 

Caught this 3lb 10oz largemouth while kayaking on the Gasconade River in Missouri yesterday.  Biggest river largemouth that I've caught.

 

Fished this afternoon and had the best numbers since spring.. Caught 17 ALL on the little lucky strike tequila worm. Fished a spinnerbait and whopper plopper too for an hour or so with no results. They love this little worm. The funny thing is they are in wal marts bargain bin. I think they are 1.99 for a pack.

For the second day in a row I arrived at a full boat ramp to find a tournament taking place which meant TUFF fishing, plenty of boat wakes, and a good bit of pressure. We found a couple pretty brown ones though!

not exactly a pic but a couple from this year, the last fish hooked was a 4.16 the sd card was close to full and stopped recording halfway through the fight also not trying to promote myself here just thought this was a little cooler than a picture 

 

Not a giant, but my first popper fish. Caught on a black Yamamoto Shibuki Popper.

 

Had my personal best today on St Clair, 3 fish over 5 pounds and 2 around 4. 23 pound bag and all on Ned rigs.

Impossible! Now repeat after me "Ned rigs only catch little fish!" Don't be spreading those nasty rumors around!

Well it wasnt a monster, but Dad finally caught a bass in my boat.  It took three trips, but he finally did it.  Havent seen him smile like that very often, really cool experience. 

 

 

Yesterdays best.

Here's another picture from yesterday. Only if all fishing days were that good but it's what keeps us going right?!

How big was your biggest? Guessing it was the one in your right hand.

Just over 5

Yep I had 3 like that yesterday and trust me the 5's elude me. Special day!

You did have a really good day. That's what keeps us in the game.

Weather not the greatest here in the Omaha area, but I was able to get out for a few hours and catch four (4) bass. Here was the biggest at 4.16 pounds and just short of 19". Caught on a weedless 1/0 wacky hook using a weightless 5" flat dawg worm. This is the biggest I caught this year and it sure felt good.

I love the coloration of the one in your left hand. 

Can't disagree with you there

My home lake. Erie

That explains why you are catching brutes. What part of Erie are you fishing?

PA waters.
