My hat's off to you, Randall. Most of us, except for those in southern states and California, would be glad to catch one double-digit bass in a lifetime.

My wife borrowed my tripod and I haven't really been in the right situation when the big fish hit to have the camera running. I will try to get some in the next couple of weeks when I am out. It will be easier to get video when my guide service slows down some this winter and I get out fun fishing more.

Nice ones for sure. I thought it ironic that you went out looking for hawgs on the swimbait (you did catch one on it) but caught the biggest bass on the lowly $3 rattle trap. Just hard to beat those traps.

Good going.

Those are amazing fish Randall, thanks for sharing the pictures with us.  Oh and by the way, I WANT ONE!!!!!!!!!! ;)

Beautiful fish!

Man oh man. I was literally about a 1/2 step from skipping my afternoon classes Monday and taking the whole day to go to Varner... Maybe I should have   :-?  Glad you were able to stick 'em, Randall.

It was actually a $11.95 at Bass Pro Hardcore Drum with a $1 hook upgrade. ;D

wow, every time you catch one double digit it seems like you get another the same day. Thats awesome. I need to move ot Georgia.

The thing about Varner is that the big bass aren't loners there. There are enough eight to ten pound fish in an area to make a school of eight to ten pound fish. If you catch one, with the exception of spring, there are usually more the same size around with it or near it.  So what I do is work a spot over and over after catching a big fish there until I get another one or two. It may take a week or the next cast may catch it.  

um yea....I can preety much sum this up with....WHAT THE HELL!!?!?!?!?!?! :o

hehe, those are 2 freakin beauts man...nice, nice job on them. I haven't caught anything bigger than 2 and a half..but I will. And you guys will be the first to hear about it!

Makes me want to buy some digital equipment, does the fish come with camera?  LOL

You are consistently producing nice bass, and those are 2 more to add to your list for 2006.     Great job as always.

You sure can catch the porkers.

Way to go dude !!!!!!!!!!!

wow Randal,

  I just asked the wife if after we got to Fort Stewart I could hire a trip with you... she said go for it... :)

hmmmm I think that would be a blast...  help me get my new BP!  Senko I think you need to come along too! I need all the guidance and coaching I can get!

AL

I gotta admit Randall.  Your hog photo's are great advertising.  Maybe next year Varmer would be a good destination for the BassResource.com road trip.

We thaught about that but Varner requires an electric boat that is spacificly disigned for that lake and others like it. You can easily burn the juice out of 6 to 8 batteries in a day of fishing. So that would limit the trip to those of us that have rigs like that. There are other reasons like lack of camping in the area and distance to the nearest gas motor lake. I sure wish we could pull it off though. It would be awsome.

Well, just keep posting those pix.  I feel a road trip to GA. coming some time in the future, after the lake fork trip.  What town do you usually recommend your clients stay in?

Covington, GA. That is were I grew up. There are a few good hotels very close to Varner. Randall is very reasonable with his rates and he works his tail off for ya. I have yet to hear of someone being disappointed with a trip with Randall. Even if they don't catch a single fish.
