Not today. Just came in. been out all day. Caught a bunch, but catching a bunch doesn't interest me unless I'm tryin' to feed mouths.
Did you know that only .001% of Bass that survive make it to 7lbs? Studies say that they don't think anything like the general population of bass. |

My dad, step mom, and I took a two day guided trip at Texoma yesterday and today. We pulled in a few decent stripers yesterday. I pulled in an 8 lb striper. Biggest I've ever caught. We also jug fished for blue cats. We pulled in a 12 lb and 8 lb blue.
I was hoping for a 20+ lb blue but maybe next time. We have several pounds of fish to eat and some of it tasted good tonight. |

The fluke is absolutely deadly out here. Walked out the door yesterday morning and caught 4 in about 15 min. including my first cast, and a 4lber, give or take, with a belly full of eggs.
The spawn is upon us in South FL. Maybe this will be the year I get my lunker bass. |

So, I'm getting a baitcaster for Christmas.
I feel like I'm not the fisherman I claim to be without knowing how to use one. Attempts in the past have been........frustrating. Any advice?? |

ALWAYS keep at least slight pressure with your thumb. Never let it free spool during a cast. Also, use your thumb to stop the line BEFORE the lure hits the water. Furthermore, don't try to cast too hard. Just give it a swift, steady swing.

New Personal best! 5lb 7oz.
![]() ![]() I am averaging no less than 5 bass a day while spending no more than a cpl hrs out there. It's the spawn, so I go out every day, and will continue to do so, until I have an, at least, 7 lber. You guys will be the first to see the pics.

Baitcasters are my favorite reel. I'll never forget the first time casting one without listening to my dad. I spent the next 30 minutes fixing my line.
My dad bought his dream boat recently. A new 2015 Nitro V7. I think it's worth more than his house. |

How's the baitcaster working out? Did you get the hang of it yet?

Go to Rainy Lake or Lake of the Woods. Either are 50 fish/day type of lakes. Pike, walleye, perch, smallmouth, crappie. If you don't want to be there 5-7 days, shoot to Tennessee for some world class crappie fishing and huge catfish fishing on some of the reservoirs there (get a guide).
