Snowed on me too it was a cold one... 3 small fish and 2 frozen hands

Not like last year!

Its all in the momentum, I boat flip DD bass all the time... I can kayak flip them too if I'm careful

says the man who's PB is listed as between 5-6 lbs.  :pray:  :crazy:  :whistle:   :smiley:

Currently a virgin bass fisher (well, I've fished FOR them... just haven't caught any) but any fish of decent edible size I'm usually gaffing, lost one slot size snook trying to pick him up by the line on the wall of a bridge. Sucker sat right there next to the wall teasing me. Never again! I bought a gaff that night! They're usually in the 15-20 lbs range for a keeper.

Been there, done that. Although it's hard to 

know just how heavy they are w/o weighing

them :smiley:

 

I've estimated two I've lost right at the yak, 

and the other right at the net at ~8 pounds.

 

Stings when they're "the one that got away".

Especially when you swear they're laughing

at you as they dive back into the depths.

I was planning on going after that toad today. Woke up early to more of the same cold and very windy conditions.

All I could do was wait to see if it would get warmer and less windy. Buy one o'clock I knew it wasn't going to be a day of fishing. Lousy weather! Maybe tomorrow...

That's exactly what I thought, except for the K flip...was clueless about that  :myopic:

I'm going for that lunker tomorrow afternoon if the weather is at least decent... Last time out for her the weather sucked.. I got 4 bass though. One was near 5 pounds.

This video was a piece of the ride back to the ramp.
