Caught this 7.6 lb monster this evening just after sunset. From the bank, in heavy pads, on a SK Baby Rodent. Struck only 10 feet from where I stood, muscled her almost straight up vertically out of the weeds, and she splashed water all over the place. I've been bassing consistently for only about a year, and this is I think the third largest LMB I've ever nailed, so I feel compelled to share my glory!

 

Glad my friend Larry was there to snap the photo on my phone.

 

Nice Bass ~ Congrats.

 

btw - sweet looking course in the back drop there.

I've been bassing consistently for ONLY ABOUT A YEAR, and this is I think THE THIRD LARGEST LMB I'VE EVER NAILED,

i'd be worn out down there man!!!  i'd be fishing early and late in the day and keep on through the heat of the day and make my way on to that course!!

Nice SLOB!!!!

I'd love to fish the golf courses around where I live.  I'd get to have two pictures, one with the fish I caught, and the other when they charge me with trespassing.  So. Cal they aren't to keen on us fishing in the water hazards.

It's the same here in SoFlo. I've managed to get permission, from knowing certain residents, to bank fish a few courses -- generally after all the golfers have finished. It's easier to do now, once DST has kicked in, for every eve at 6:00, after golfing all day, those golfers are required to be home to shower and get ready to go out to dinner with the spouse and maybe another couple or two. Even with having been granted permission to fish the ponds, my strategy is to keep a low profile, and I try to stay out of sight. All it takes is one guy to complain and my privileges are gone. And here in Boca Raton, which is loaded with wealthy retirees, there seem to be plenty of people who find it very difficult not to voice a vigorous complaint when the opportunity arises.

The golf courses I fish, I'm just a few minutes from Boca, I can park my car on the road and just walk in.  When I go it's right before sunrise, the only people I see are the grounds crew and a ranger, luckily they just wave at me.  I make a point of fishing holes 7-8 and 9, not the beginning holes and try and keep my distance from the houses.  I don't even try to fish a course that's fenced and I would not invade a home owner's privacy by fishing behind their home.  My own community I'm well with in my rights to fish where I please.

I probably won't be fishing any golf courses until the end of the year.
