well once again, my secret "lunker lake" has produced another bass of good size...

at this point i have honestly lost count of the number of 5 lb + bass i have caught from here....

either way, caught this beauty of a 7 lb'er just before the rain and lightning hit....

she made my day.

Great fish and i can see the storm comin haha looks like u caught it just in time.. Congrats ;D

Nice fish!  Oh, by the way, EXACTLY where is lunker lake and EXACTLY what lure were you using.  I was thinking to travel to central Florida and you know, maybe bring a rod.  (just kiding!)

The fish of my dreams is still swimming around and we've not been introduced yet but the day is coming!  That's why I tie good knots even when pan fishing.  Ya never know.

mlpauly....thanx man.... and ya, i only got about an hour of fishing in before it hit...

sammylee.....if by chance you ever end up here, seeing as how you are far out of town..... i might consider taking you there - with a blind fold on of course!! -  

as for the lure......

i decided to use live shinners on this outing.....

it was the first time i have ever taken live bait to lunker lake....

all previous outings, and fish were on artificials.

great lunker man!  TOADally awesome.  chalk up another one for live bait.

thanx, paul...

it was quite nice, but i have always wondered.......

what was the weight on the absolute beast in your avatar!!!

ive seen it for quite some time now, and always wanted to know.......

Great coloring on that fish!

WOw nice fish!

thanx for the compliments too all....

Culln5......as for the coloring....

i was thinking the same thing, i have caught many large fish out of this pond.... and all are healthy to say the least, but this one's markings and color was quite beautiful.

(i wish they all looked like that)

awesome fish man.  I'd love to catch a monster like that.

Mr. LT, that bass is a Florida Strain purebred. I didn't even have to see where you were from in your avatar. Beautiful!
