got an early start this mornin' since I had to make it home in time to do some honey do's. Got to the lake and there wasn't a soul insight. Made 30+ casts from the bank and found this girl playing cat & mouse. She went 11.8 sorry for the bad solo pic she was a bit long and hard to fit in the frame.

Holy Cow man! That's a pretty fish. You're one of the few guys that I see catch 10lb+ Bass around here NOT in spring. Congrats man.

Was that at CL ? and on the punker? Or something different?

Nice fish!

Who else catches a double-digit Bass from the shore  ?

You are one LUCKY dude. That fish is nice, along with the other DD you've caught lately. I wish I had the patience to throw a big bait, but you seem to be catching them quite frequently.

I've been fighting the urge of throwing a big bait, but the more fish I see like this from lakes some what near me, the more I can't resist.

That is a pig, great fish!

great fish, congrats

;D you got me.....I posted this on another forum that demands details!

I arrived at my mystery spot around 6:45am and was the only one insight. There was a thick layer of fog hovering over the water,a few trout and carp were jumping a few hundred yards away. Enchanted. I decided to demo a 3 piece bait I had someone paint earlier in the week to check its action with its new finish and tail design. On a slow retrieve it has a nice "S" shape,when sped up a tighter "S" shape,and when twitched lots of sponteneity! Nice! about 30 casts at different angles over a 35' ledge I get a follower... she's coming at the bank mouth open so I know she's feeding I started to run out of water so I trek'd down the bank a few feet and kept twitchin' my bait. DOOOSH! she mack'd my bait HARD like an alligator on a gazelle. FISH ON! I ran the bank to keep tension,she ran to deeper water for a couple of seconds and then I arm wrestled her onto the shoreline. Picked her up,gave her a photo session,and then let her go.
