Weston Lakes along Weston Road, 5:30 to 7:00, clear sky, north wind 5MPH, water light stain.

 

Went out this evening for a few relaxing hours of fishing.  I hit several lakes along Weston Road and caught 8 nice bass in the 2 to 3 pound range.  As the sun was setting I casted along a weed line with a mix of buggy whips and pads.  The stick-o started to move off toward deeper water.  I set the hook and a bucket mouth exploded out of the water and the fight was on.  I had to pull her through about 10 yards of thick pads, so I kept her head up as high as possible and she tail walked herself right through the pads.  Thank God I just retied after catching the previous bass.  She was approximately 26 inches long with a big, thick belly.  She weighted approximately 9 pounds.  Hopefully Lou will help with a picture post since for some reason I can't get that job done.  It was my big fish of this season and after a few pictures she was released in perfect shape.  Right before catching her I was very close to leaving, as it was getting dark and a fat snake was in the area.  I'm so glad I had to have just one more cast.  She made my day!

Sorry i was late George, here is George's Weston monster!!

Thanks Lou, I appreciate the help.  Maybe some day I'll get it figured out.

Here is the 2nd pic of the "Monster"

Nice Fish!!!   That is phenomenal for urban waters, for sure!!! You just might hold the big fish of the year in a neighborhood for Broward to. I wonder if she was in prespawn mode.

Way to go, George. Healthy lookin girl for sure.

Nice fish George!  I work in Weston and see those lakes on a daily basis, and always wondered if they were holding fish.  WTG!
