Large Mouth Report (with Video)

Post by bl8ant »

Hit a local lake with a buddy for largies on Saturday. The shallows weren't producing so we moved out to a few main lake weed flats. Water temps were 64-65 in the back bays and 69-70 on the flats. Not sure if this played a part or not.

Most of our time was spent fishing the weedbeds 7-12 feet deep mainly on wacky rigged Berkley Powerbait Heavyweights on a weightless weed guarded hook.

Hits were really soft but we managed to boat 15-20 bass, most like this guy being lipped

But some bigger ones like this one

This guy was a football at 3lbs 5oz
Image

Best fish was this 4 pounder (I say 4 pounder but the scale read 3lbs 15 3/4 oz :).
Image

Here is a video of the release. He was caught on 8lbs line so he was pretty beat, watch till the end of the video though....he was okay!
Image
I almost lose it at the end of the video when I think I hadn't recorded his fish. haha

Here is a pike I caught in the same lake the weekend prior. My scale died, and I have never weighed a pike. Any guesses for the weight? between 7.5-9 I figure.

Hi bl8ant.

You and your buddy nabbed some really quality fish. It's been the summer of the bass, it seems.

That pike's a beauty, too.
