Had to fish a couple of more days this week...hehehe, YEAH RIGHT - I Love it WOOO HOOOOO and a few friends Gene, Matt and Joey decided to take off work and help me out ;D With the extreme heat, we decided to cut out the mid day fishing altogether...NAP TIME and concentrate on the Morning, Evening and Night Bites to maximize our time on the water.

Matt and Joey were already there when we arrived Tues night. The wind howled at us most of the time, but we were still able to catch some quality fish at several different places we checked. Our starting line up was Thumpers, Jig'n'Lobster, Eeliminators and Anacondas and since they were hitting'em hard, we left'em in the game and cheered'em on Matt started off hitting two biggun's back to back on a Jig'n'Lobster then Gene followed up with a Thumper HOGG. Overall the night bite was good as long as I could hold position by keeping the nose of the boat in the wind with the trolling motor churnin'....

Early mornings were also good and Gene and I Thumped a couple of nice ones on deep timber drops.

Will post another of Matt's "Big Heads" when I get the photo

so sick!

Steve......I'm starting to think you have sold your soul to the fishing gods! LOL!!!

Man y'all crushed em again! Those are all monsters but the one you're holding just looks like she could eat most of the fish I catch.....seriously!

Thanks for sharing bud. Great pics and defiantly true trophies! Nice job!

CJ

give the man a moment of silence

NICE'UNS!

Now that's hog heaven !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You certainly do have a way with the big ladies! Unreal!

 

Those are some fat hawgs there!

Nice fish guys!

WOW!

Dang Steve, after all these posts, you made me stock up on Rage Tails ;D

Thanks Y'all When I locate these secret areas holding fish of this caliber, I do my very best to avoid being noticed...Pressure, abuse and relocation of these rather large BABES will put a quick end to their ability to maintain health, as well as a natural presence. My livewells are for drink cans ONLY ;D

I am blessed to have been able to fish for these magnificent creatures for many years and here are my notes to self....

If you dream of catching larger than average fish on a regular basis, "Target Only Large Fish"....As you do, you will learn the following:

1) You don't fish for a limit, you fish for "A Fish"

2) You have two motto's, "Fish Slower" and "That's not Slow Enough"

3) You don't fish areas, you fish "sweet spots", very detailed "SWEET SPOTS"

4) Catching a big fish becomes your LOCK, and learning all of the reasons of why you caught that big fish is your KEY. Repeat the process often enough and over a long enough period of time and you will accumulate many KEYS....

With them, you have an opportunity to share with your friends who dream of learning about them as well....

Hope y'all are catchin' some too
