Had a buddy from Atlanta come down for two days of fishing. Unfortunately for us both we were involved with a major cold front. Temps went down into the low forties each night. Anybody familiar with Florida bass fishing knows or have experienced tough, tough fishing after a cold front hits. Usually the bass shut down for days up to a week. The cold front started on Tuesday & we were fishing Wednesday & Thursday with dampened anticipation for the next two days. Day one really sucked because of water flow problems stirring up silt & plant debris. Day two started out cold & foggy but the water was clearing & still. We started catching fish right away. Long story short we had a really good day. My long time fishing buddy caught a new pb & I did as well. We had about 20 fish between 4-5 lbs. Two fish between 5-6lbs. Three fish between 6-7lbs. Dave's pb bass went 8lbs-8oz and my pb bass went 11lbs-2oz. What a day for a cold front! The magic baits were indigenous swimbaits.

 

 

 

 

 

Wow nice! Always awesome to get a new pb!!!

Congrats on the new PB. Buddy!

Sheesh, I'll have whatever you are having, that's amazing!!!! Many people, myself included dont have a personal best over 3 lbs max, and yet you've landed a boat full of 4 lb and bigger fish..... well done.

Dwight that is an amazing hawg! Congrats my friend, some people fish a life time and never touch a fish like that. What lake was it?

Wow that's a pair of pigs right there! Great job!

Nice tankers! Congrats on your new PB.

Nice work Dwight!

Man those are some Pigs Dwight! Congrats on that 11+

Congratulations Dwight. I saw it on Hugh's Face Book page yesterday. I said that looks like Dwight

Real Prey makes a bait that looks like those "indigenous swimbaits" you are referring to 

 

But unfortunately, soft plastics do a pretty terrible job at getting nervous when a big fish is nearby, that's where the real McCoy sets itself apart.

Dwight, man what can I say you keep laying the smack down on the HAWGS, of brown and green types!  Congrats, now lets try to beat the PB soon!

That wasn't just beating the cold front, that was flat out conquering it.

D what a sweet fish, congrats on your new PB for it is a dream come true....

nice fishing dwight!

WOW!

 

What a fish!

 

CONGRATULATIONS!

 

 

 

 

LOL, it was big when Jeff sent me a text and it looks even better blown up on my screen.

 

Congrats man!

Next time this buddy of yours drives down from Atlanta, I'm stowing away in his trunk! Great fish!

Thanks for all the congratulations.
