Beautiful fish!

Buddy and I talk about this allot. Predator fish, like bass, are aggressive. They strike to eat but also because they are pissed your baits in their territory. I believe that predator fish with charge a bait and then push a wake of water towards the bait to disorientate it. You can feel that...

I've caught bigger smallies, but the large mouth was the big fish of the day. And heavy. Had to pick up the net with both hands

Correct. And add to the fact that smallies are excellent at spitting a hook. I lost two pigs today. One legit the other a rookie mistake.

Welcome to this little corner of the bait shack. Watch out, making jigs is addictive.

Thx Arnie. Retired recently so chasing fish more.

Nice variety. I chase smallies but get a few bonus fish on occasion

Didn't work this week. White flukes took it all

In water, the blue turns on like it had a florissant light on inside

I use a single wire weed guard - but mostly to prevent snagging on rocky river ledges. When I used a jig with a weed guard like yours, it got a heavy haircut I normally do not fish heavy cover or vegetation

Color is blue but it's not the color that's magic. It's the way the color presents itself when in the water. Never seen anything like that and with the success I've had this year, I'd like to believe neither has the fish. Again - color only matters when it matters, but when it matters, it...

No I didn't LOL

Today, color really mattered. Fish were finicky but once I landed on the right combination of size, action and color it was game on

We said hello And goodbye

Great job!! Nice fish. 10 # bass on 2# test - pretty awesome fight

I'm staying with the 114's for smallies. If I was consistently chasing flat heads, I'd go with a heavier wire. We were spot locked in current too

While smallie fishing recently, I got a heck of a hit, set the hook and it was fight on. Thought I had a world class smallie. Then thought it could be a channel cat but it wasn't fighting like one. Major pullage, drag screaming, and rod bent in half. After about 5 minutes of fighting saw...

Live bait - I still believe I catch better quality fish using artificial baits Color - Color only matters when color matters. But when color matters, color really matters!

I fished grubs forever until I started expanding my lure choices. After running the gamut of just about every style of bass catching bait out there I've settled on a few also. Best catcher has been a swimbait. Or in other words a paddle tail grub. When asked how I fish it I say "Exactly like...

Yup
