A buddy of mine Gene helped me clean my boat Saturday so we decided "To Get it wet on Sunday". Neither of us had fished Lake O.H. Ivie (West Tx) in several years so we thought WHY NOT One of our good friends, Wendell, lives within an hour of there so we called him to see if he wanted to meet us at the ramp with rods in hand to join us in this "Sudden Urgent Need to Wet a Line".... and he started singing the song "I'll be There"

We had a blast flippin Rage Lobsters, Space Monkey's, Smokin Roosters, Thumpers and Rage Hawgs and caught alot of healthy fish pretty much all day long. This also gave me an opportunity to ck out the new Falcon Craw color and it appeared to be well received by the fish as we were all three using it by the days end

Wendell took the prize on Big Fish flippin a Space Monkey and we also caught'em Tx Rigging Thumpers and C rigging Eeliminators. Enjoyed ourselves to the MAX and can't wait til next time.....

After we reeled'em up, I did get to ck out some spots on the lake for this Summer night fishing forrays and "OH BABY...O.H. IVIE" That's what I'm talkin'in about

Awesome fish!  8-)

Well *** is a sin they say.

So I'm a sinner.

Congrats

Man that's an awesome fish.  Big congrats.

Steve.....you are almost as obnoxious online as you are in person

Sounds like a great day.  Fish & friends, great combination!!!

Sweet fish there

Man you gotta love those Texas lakes!!!!

Nice fish!!!!!

Surely that's not a male bass but I'm curious because I see the bottom of it's tail is worn away and bloody. I've always read that males get that from building a bed.

edit:  male or female, it's friggin' huge!

Very nice fish, looks like a spawned out female to me.

That's a beauty!

Like Matt mentioned, it's a spawned out female. She was in 8 ft of water off of the main river channel. That was my main pattern but also found a big group of fish in 12 ft water at the front of a flat dropping quickly into 25 ft timber. They were holding on a small patch of grass.

All of the fish we caught were spawned out but there will probably be another group move up in short order. Our weather here has been erratic much like the rest of the country.

I read that this lake has put out 12 Sharelunkers so far this season, and the guy who got that 16lber has two of those himself!
