Well, its been a screwy year full of LOTS of dinks under two pounds for me.  But I finally got a decent 4-5 lbs bass on a spinnerbait while float tubin' in Mazonia Illinois.  Didnt have time to put her on the scale, she was outta the water longer than I like anyway.  

Tharghhhhh she be Swilly,

tis a nice bass says i!!!!!!

good job man!

Which lake? Almost looks like Ponderosa. I fish there quite often this year pulled a couple of 4's and a bunch of 3's. Larger fish are in 12- 20 foot of water.

Congrats

Uncle Leo, I got her on Clear Lake, right on top of the weeds. Havnt fished Ponderosa yet, maybe this weekend.

Congrats! Nice healthy looking fish.

wish Chicago had bass like that.

90x, its only ten or fifteen miles south of I80 on I55.  Easy drive dude.

Spinnerbaits!  Woo Hoo!!

Nice fish, Congrats!  ;D I have got to get me one of those float tubes. I bet their a blast to fish from.

I'd kill to be able to use a float tube! We have some seriously great ponds around here in a wildlife refuge. Some of them are very remote and you have to whack your way threw some thick stuff to get around the ponds. I'd kill to be able to use a float tube but they don't allow any flotation devices. Swilly78 that sure looks like some serouis fun right there. I guess you could drop shot with the line hooked to your toes. ;D

nice fish and raft. i see their popular. i want to say i seen three different members on here with pics of them fishing them and one had a depth finder on theirs.

i do have a question do u just let your wade in the water?? that i wouldnt be comfortable  with at all.

These things are a blast!  Really good for smaller waters with limited shoreline access, its brought a whole new level to my fishing.  I wear a set of Chest Waders, that you cant see because of my life preserver.  Wading boots and fins.  They sell an awful lot of accesorys for these setups, but being part redneck, Ive found that light rope and heavy string work just as well as $20 rod leashes.  Its certaily worth a look.

yea i wouldnt dare do it barefooted. some might but not me. NO WAY!! i tell you wont would be fun though man sneak up to one and swim under and grab their toes. man i bet they would flip right out the tube. reminds me when i use to swim off the boat and i would swim under the boat unexpected and grab my buddies nieces toes. man did they scream! lol

nice fish
