CT Fatties

Got this one earlier today on a little Booyah spinnerbait

Bottom view - she's been feasting on bluegills. That's how I caught her. I saw a huge surface splash across the way so I cast to it and she nailed it immediately ;D

Got this one earlier today also on a Ragetail shad. One of the, if not the, biggest and loudest strike I've ever gotten from a bass. She didn't want my lure to get away :)

A week ago on a 4" ***, wacky

Same day as the previous pic, also on the same ***.

Had to drag her through the weeds with my little spinning getup - if you look closely you can see the trail. Took me over a minute to land her.

My biggest of 2008. I was throwing the Spro frog without much luck, so I gave up on the frog bite and decided to catch some dinks on a 4" ***, t-rigged. Well, this happened :)

Thanks guys  :)

Mike, we do need to get back out to Quabbin. Maybe early/mid August? I'm out of town for the next few weekends...

And Hopelessly Addicted - I found these ponds on Google Earth. They are unnamed, but there are definitely some good fish in there.

Google Earth?  I've heard thats a great way to find ponds I'll have to try it.  How'd you get your boat into this unnamed pond that you had to find with satellite photographs? lol Anyways nice job, it takes some work to catch bass like that in CT

P.S. I'm going to the Quabbin for the first time this coming weekend...  any pointers

My "boat" is a 15' canoe, and I have wheels for it so I can roll it down to the water.

As for Quabbin, you might want to post in the Northeast section and ask the question. I fished there with Cigarlover and we didn't do too well. He lost a nice smallmouth at the boat, I caught a LM and a pickerel. Mass Hole Mike did pretty well fishing a dropshot (I think) off of deep points. If you have electronics that will be a big help.

nice ct bass ,those ponds look good ///wear in ct eastern western etc, iam in the   new haven area ;D////

Thanks the the kind words fellas.

Joez - I'm in central CT, and although I fish mostly in central CT, my favorite part of the state is NW CT. It's absolutely beautiful in that corner of the state, and there's some good smallmouth fishing around there.

Great spot and nice, chunky fish.
