Put the Basshunter in the pond today and I had company in that another guy showed up with a jon boat.  He was using fly casting gear.  He was still there when I left but hadn't anything but a few gills.

Caught a few dinks and then a 4 lber took my Viva popper under.  Later, a handmade jig a friend gave me brought a 3 lber to the boat when I pitched it to a stump.  

Then I went to the walk-around pond and caught a 2/15 on an 8" GY Single-tailed Grub that was T-rigged.

Suppose to meet my best friend Bill there tomorrow.  Hope he out-catches me as he's not been able to fish much, much less catch any in a while.  He lives in Jacksonville, Florida and will just visit here for one day.

Nice fish, Dan.

Hope you guys have fun tomorrow and catch some big ones.  Will be looking for the pics.

Well done young man!

Nice job. Good luck tomorrow.

man the 3lber is skinny

Yep.  all of those Bass were skinny :-?.

Just got back from fishing with my buddy.  A cold snap hit here last night and I guess that's what turned them off as we only caught 5 dinks, 3 for Bill and 2 for me.

Hey Dan,

Beautiful work, as usual.

Question, that "topwater"  is it a true topwater or a floater diver minnow. looks a vision 110?

Second - The GYCB 8" grub.  How do you fish it.  It looks more like a big curly tail worm than a grub, but being GYCB one always has to consider a weightless presentation a la the senko.

How do you fish em?

thanks

Avid:  That Viva Pencil is a true floater though it floats with just the first 1/2" of its body out of the water.  It floats tail-down and when twitched, its cupped nose makes a very natural 'fish sound'.  The only problem with it is it's impossible to find and buy them now as far as I know.

That grub is a long(8"), worm-like, thick(1/2"?) in diameter, grub.  I've fished it weightless like a Senko, on a C-rig, wacky-rigged, and T-rigged.  They are a 'big-Bass' bait but I've also caught some dinks on one too.

5 lber

I think this one went 5 lbs too?

2 lber
