Nov 11 partially cloudy, winds out of the SE @ 5-7.  12 noon @ my pond.

Thanks again to all of you who taught me to bass fish over the net.  Roadwarrior your "senko" thread is priceless.  But I don't want to leave anyone out.  I would have never, ever thought of throwing a blue stick bait before meeting up w/ y'all.  Let alone a red hook, and green line.  Ha!!

Today my son said, "Daddy, you are the Bass Master!"   Priceless!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not kidding about the Beer and BBQ w/ y'all if you ever come down to the real deep south.

That's awesome dude! Very nice fish and great pics! Did you weigh it??

Ain't it great when a plan comes together ! Great fish !

That is an awesomely proportioned fish! Congratulations dude. Thats good stuff right there.

Guys, sorry I have no weight.  Its the only accessory the monkey hasn't made me buy yet.  I feel compeled all of the sudden to purchase one, though!  ;D

At the moment I am still high about the catch.  The weight I'd guess is 5~, but I'm biased.  As you can imagine.

She pulled the drag, man.  Thats when I knew she was big.  Unreal!!!!!!!

Makes a fella want to get a TV show and a sponsor, don't it!

That is one FAT fish! Congrats!!

Great picture of your boy as well!

Your son's expression says it all! Congratulations! Now get out there and catch a BIGGER one.

Hey I'm an optomist but that fish looks a little "healthier" than 5 lol spetacular fish congrats!!!

Wait a second, I'M  in the Deep South! Congratulations on your PB! She's a beautiful fish!

Thanks y'all.  Its nice to have a place to share stuff w/ a bunch of like minded folk.

I am so amped its not funny.

thats a sweet fish. wish i had pond like that. congrats

AWESOME FISH!!!! Great job on hooking and landing that fish, and she looks a little bigger than 5 to me too

I feel its a Florida Special that ate a 1lbr.  No FishChris sow, but its enough for me.

This pond actually gets fished alot.  Everyone uses hard baits...  I love my soft plastics.

N2B,

Great fish, congrats!!  

The weight I'd guess is 5~, but I'm biased

It sure looks 5+ in the pics...

Way to go!!

Excellent catching young man!!!

Now that your son's interested, get him started with a rig and baits

Dan

Real nice bass Man! Congratulations. Wild looking stickbait, who turned you on to that color?

Nice fish! Its always hard to tell from a photo but it looks bigger than five to me too.

Nice fish and congrats on your new PB.  You are and will always be your son's hero.  It is just nice to here it every once in awhile.

The color idea I got from reading this site.  "Natural Forage" and all that.  I took my kid "catching" w/ hot dogs and circle hooks.  We nailed a bunch of bluegills, and sunnys so...Blue/Green, and Yellowish/Black baits.  I was doing pretty good w/ the zoom salty super fluke too in baby bass, and Arkansas shiner.  The * stick is great, it really holds up.  I learned about them from this site.

I'm hoping the beginners luck lasts for a while.  I dont want that skunk showing up again.

This has been a heck of a ride guys...I really can not thank you enough.

Thanks Glenn for keeping the site up.

I could have never done it without y'all.  Really.

Yep,  that's a hawg!  Congrats!

congrats

Outstanding.

Excellent work.

From the photo's it's hard to tell who is more excited, you or your son.

This is the stuff that father and son memories are made of.

Cherish these moments.

The smile on your son's face just about says it all

WOW! that thing is a freakin tubby!   :o gotta get one like that! Awsome, Awsome fish!
