Title pretty much says it all. I made it out after class for a little bit today and I saw a few females I saw cruising the other day move up. Luckily the male that was with this one was very skittish so I got one on one time with her and her alone. She went 6 lbs 8 oz.

BTW- This is my best Lightninrod impression :. It's tough when your solo and want to set up the camera, tripod, timer, etc as quickly as possible to get her back in the water. :-?

Then upon further inspection when I got home, this is the same fish I caught last year in nearly the same exact location. The big thing that sticks out is its growth/sore on it's tail and then if you look closely the markings are identical. It's a little hard to tell though because the picture from last year sucks. She only put on 8 oz

Nice fish, it appears things are heating up in the midwest.  Any clue how long she is?

Corey

No clue how long she was.  I rarely measure fish.

That's interesting KU, that you caught her in almost the exact same spot!

I guess that's just more evidence that bass are real homebodies.

And she only gained 8 oz in a year! I have a feeling she's a real 'old' gal.

Well done!

That's a beauty!

 ;D

Ya got me young man!  And, I assume you've got the remote in your left hand?  Fishing alone and taking pics can be problematic but it's worth it to be able to see a very nice, BIG Bass!

KU,

Nice fish. I keep hoping that I can catch the one I caught last week again. This time I will have a scale.  It's killing me to not know what she weighed.

Very nice lookin fish. You can definately tell she's the same fish. Very cool.

Nice fish! That is a pretty strange lump on her tail fin area. It would be hard to mistake that fish once caught.

Awesome fish!! Thats really cool she was recaught...she lives to see another day, great job man!

That's awesome ! :-)

I still don't understand how some people could read stories like this, and not see the logic ? It just doesn't get any more obvious than this !

Congrats on the great catch KU.... again :-)

Peace,

Fish

Is that KU?  or lightninrod?  

sweeeeeeet fish KU

That's awesome KU!!!  Nice post.  

KU, you have to name her now.  We have a 7lbr (last time she was caught anyway) that has some distinctive markings like that tail.  We have caught her maybe 5 times since she was just a 4 lbr.  We didn't see her last year, hopefully she's still around.  Her name is "Dorothy"

So,..What's her name?

NICE KU!  

LBH - Dorothy sounds like a Kansas fish!  LOL

Good ol kansas fishing

I forgot to ask her :-? ;D

Let's see .... She is one of bigger ones out there, she obviously isn't that smart (fell for the same bait in nearly the same location two years in a row), she is promiscuous as it looked like she might have been trying to spawn on two different beds, and she has a growth/sore on her "tail".  Hmmmmm reminds me of a girl I once knew.  I will call her Janelle. ;D ;D
