Well when that topwater is a 2x4 it works! I haven't posted a report on here in a while but being that these fish where caught on a bait made by one of our members I would show what this bait can do. Went out Saturday morning with my partner and when we got there we were the only boat on the lake. Partially due to the 25-35 mph winds and partially due to the fire that had the main freeway to this lake blocked off. We had to take an hour detour to get there but it was well worth the effort. The first one weighed in at 8-9. Put her in the well so we could snap a photo later. Well about twenty mins later I stuck the 6-6 girl. Put here in the well to see what kind of an end of the day pic I could get. We beached the boat out of the wind to have lunch and figured I wasn't going to catch any other big ones so I might as well take some photos and let them go. Well a half hour later I hooked into the 7-13. Nothing huge but good fish non the less. We ended up with 27lbs that day.

Nice going bro! Congrats!

Nice bass.

Fine fish, great pics!

;D ;D ;D

Congrats on the bass!Where were you guys fishing at?

Wow. In my neck of the woods those are BIG! Beautiful fish too!

Now about the Nov topwater thing...in my experience it's not "November" when you're wearing short sleeves n short pants!

Thanks guys!

Yeah it has been cold out here but we are back into a warm snap. That is what brought the high winds and fires. It is currently 88 deg. right now. Talk to most people down here though and they will tell you that the fish are already done with the fall feeding freenzy and now in their winter mood. Of course the topwater I was using isn't a Pop-r or a Sammy. It was an 8 inch walking bait the likes of which most bass haven't seen.

Yeah topwaters work in November.  Those are some great fish dude.

My November topwater fish is nothing compared to yours but I kinda like the story.

Of course I'm in Florida so alot of guys will laugh it off.

But we had a pretty good cold from come through the other day. Saturday was shirtsleeves and sweat....85 degree day. Sunday the high was 69 with overnight lows down to 49. That's a mean cold front by Florida standards. So today I went out just walking the bank. I took one rod and one lure. Rico popper. I just wanted to see if I could catch one.

Well one is exactly how many I caught but it was about 15". He came straight up from the bottom in about 6 feet of unusually clear water. then didn't slam or inhale the lure, he just sorta took it in his lips and was swimming back down to the bottom.. I watched him go down and set the hook just as he went out of site. very cool.

Nice fish! I won't be wearing a t-shirt again until May, unless I have a jacket over it  :-/

Care to show that bait?

I love topwater in Nov. Nothing like watching fish blow up on a walking bait in 40-50 degree outside temps  8-)

Care to show that bait?

I don't have any pictures of it and I can't find the thread that used to.  It is made by Fourbizz.  Maybe he has a pic he can show.

Awesome! Congrats  ;D

I do that too. Just want to explore the limits: How much of them are real, or in my head?

Sweet fish! I love the 2x4 too.

Nice i have been getting them fishing for stripers on the delta.

Very nice fish!

Nice fish. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pics!  Cool looking lake. I love it that the pics have a background! ;D ;D
