Rhino Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 I had 2 afternoons back to back of the most incredible spring bass fishing action I've had in years. I was fishing a friend's hunting club's 38 acre lake with him that was stocked in Florida bass about 15 years ago. We turkey hunting in the mornings and hit the lake in the afternoon. In those 2 afternoons of fishing I caught more 3+ pound fish than I ever remember putting in the boat before. Friday afternoon we started fishing around 2:00 and quit fishing around 6:30 when we put the 50th bass in the boat. Most were released including all the big ones. Here's my biggest 2 fish from Friday. A 6lb. 14oz. and a 6lb. 11oz. bass. Saturday afternoon we hit the lake around 1:30. It was mostly cloudy that afternoon and windy too. Kept us from fishing part of the lake but I sure can't complain. We caught 38 bass Saturday afternoon and quit around 6:30. Here are my 2 biggest bass from that afternoon...8lb. 9oz. & 6lb. 6oz. Sure took the edge off a couple of poor spring turkey hunting mornings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diamond Archer 01 Posted March 22, 2010 Report Share Posted March 22, 2010 Congrats on the bass. Those things are huge!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 WOW!!!!!!! :jaw: I can only dream of catching bass like that. Biggest bass I've ever caught was a 5lbs 2oz smallmouth. Biggest largemouth I've ever seen up here was just under 6lbs, anything over 4lbs is a hog up here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redkneck Posted March 23, 2010 Report Share Posted March 23, 2010 That's some fine bass Al! I would have been better off fishing than chasing turkeys last weekend! Me and my brother were supposed to fish for some crappie and catfish some at Okatibbee last weekend, but weather didn't look too hot.

Rhino Posted March 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2010 That's some fine bass Al! I would have been better off fishing than chasing turkeys last weekend! Me and my brother were supposed to fish for some crappie and catfish some at Okatibbee last weekend, but weather didn't look too hot. Obviously, I was better off fishing than turkey hunting too John. Stayed in the woods both days until about noon with disappointing results to show for it. A couple of great afternoons bass fishing sure made up for the poor turkey hunting action and then some!

TN Bucknasty Posted April 14, 2010 Report Share Posted April 14, 2010 I wish you would have held them a little closer to the camera so we could get a good look. Lol. Just messing with you. Congratulations. Sounds like a mighty fine day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted May 4, 2010 Report Share Posted May 4, 2010 Very nice, Al! I think I've only ever caught one largemouth and it was around 18" 1.5lbs. We mostly have smallies around here. Dakota Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
