I am not opening any more posts by you cause of how jealous I am.

GREAT BASS BTW!

Hey Big-O,

Are you fishing the same ponds Bill Dance fishes??????  ;D   ;D   ;D

All I can say is "WOW!!"

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

Seriously, THANK YOU very much for your tips. I used the Rage Lobster and caught most of my bigger fish on that lure during the Law Enforcement Firefighter Games Tournament last weekend.
