Had a good two hours of fishing today. Would have stayed longer if it was NOT so incredibly hot. Anyway sorry I have been missing from the community recently. Il try harder to fish more and be on more... Anyway caught 7 bass total today. 5 of them were dinks that were under 1.5 LBS all caught on the small bass assassin fluke...

However I did get this nice bass that went 5 LBS 9 OZ!

Got him on a big bluegill swimbait!. My second bass ever on one of these baits... Yeah I have only caught two bass on this bait but both of them were big.

I also got this guy that was 2LBS 7 OZ on a fluke

Anyway about the big bluegill swimbait. I have caught a couple fish on it but I am so inconsistent with the bait it is kind of embarressing. I take it with me a lot of my trips and probably make about 20-30 casts with the bait each trip of a decent length and usually come up empty on the bait. I usually throw it on a heavy action rod with heavy line as well. I usually do a pretty slow retrieve with the bait. I have caught a couple good fish like the one in the first pic on it but I have no consistency with the bait at all....

Nice fish.

Great pic!

Nice Hawg, congrats.

Congrats dude, Nice fish!

7 fish in 2 hours plus one of them weights in at almost 6 lbs....I call that a great day of fishing indeed.  Nice fish!

Yeah it was a good two hours. However 5 of the 7 fish were under 1.5 LBS that I got on the bass assassin fluke. Dinks around that size will hit anything that moves erratically. Those fish were fun on the light gear though... Used heavy gear for the big one!

Nice fish 5lb!  

Great fish. Congratulations to you!

Nice fish Bluegill,

Big O

Great fish and pic!

Way to go! Great 2 hrs...

Congrats, nice fish! 8-) Just leave the light tackle at home and throw the swimbait until your arm hurts. 30 casts in a trip is not enough.

Very nice!

Well you see even though I only make about 30 casts a trip with it I take it with me on a lot of trips. I have had this bait well over a month and only caught two fish on it. I dont know maybe I am using it wrong.... Thing is if I ONLY threw this bait for the whole trip I would probably be out 2-4 hours and catch only ONE bass! I need to catch lots of bass to keep me entertained... Im sure I will throw this bait and get more baits like it when I become pro with it though...

I realy do want to catch a HUGE fish though....you know something over 8LBS of any species just for a new avatar pic!

You see I have been realy working hard to lose weight and have been pretty successful and I want a pic of the new skinny me with a big fish which I do not have yet

I am sure I will get one soon if I just get on the water more....

Fivepound,  nice fish.  I love the pics they remind me of Mr. Wilson from Home Improvement.  Congratulations on all the weight loss as well.  Exactly how much weight have you lost?
