Thanksgiving hawg bass(pics)

indymusky · 11-30-2009, 03:27 PM

Fished dixon on thanksgiving for a couple hours and sunday for a couple hours. The fishing was real slow for bass, real slow. I threw swimbaits for nothing prob half the time i was their. Used roboworm in oxblood 7 inch 4lb test and crawdad jigs on 6lb test. Caught alot of smaller fish under a lb prob and a couple chunks. One fish was reel fat i had layed up next to the boat oar. i also caught a nice one off the peir that i could see when i was walking to go to the bathroom. Pretty slow but i saw alot of trout getting caught weather was really nice on thanksgiving.

this one looks like it got bit by something when i was reeling it in. or it got stuck on a rock and i pulled it out but i was using 4 lb test

i was fishing by meself so i dont have the best pictures of most of these but i saw the ranger with the white gotee when i caught this one and he snapped a shot with it. i was using a disposable camera and had to scan the pictures into the computer so the quality is horrible.

I don't know about you guys, but I do like to see pictures of bass, even poor quality ones like this. That being said, I am really not that interesed in seeing a lot of pics of fish caught in California. It's not in my realm of possibilities so it really doesn't interest me. I want to see pics of our bass around here. I could go on the net and see pictures of Arkansas, Louisiania, Texas, Mississipppi, and on and on, bass.

But what's the fun in that? Sorry, didn't mean to insult anyone. Just saying.

Well for one, i fish all over the country every year and use the same methods as i do here. Maybe you should try what i use and see how your day ends. Use light light and MM3 roboworms and quarter ounce bullet weight texas rigged on spinning tackle with any scent you have just as long as you have scent. And i will put my life on it youll catch some quality bass. I fish the most pressured lakes in the country and these are how my days go

nice work indy! keep posting!

FelonFinder · 12-01-2009, 12:45 PM

It isn't hurting anything to show pictures of bass no matter where they come from. Well, it does hurt, but it's a good hurt...kind of. Ok it hurts. Post anyway!

Good advice. I'll give it a try. Guess I was having a not so good day when I posted. By all means, please do keep posting. This board's been pretty dead for a while anyway. Good luck, Bill

Haha I like this guy. He makes my winter months not so boring as far as this forum goes.

Keep posting for sure. Is your camera a digital? I always fish by myself and my pics turn out pretty decent by setting the timer.

That said.....I can't agree with 4lb test. Maybe in wide open water with zero structure around....but 4lb test is a death wish, and will result in a horror story instead of a trophy in the boat/bank.

well their arent any trees in any of the lakes i fish so i dont have to worry about that. But if you learn how to use your drag and to fight a fish correctly 4lb is very strong. Only a couple break offs in a couple monthes isnt to bad and one was a solid trout

Me too. I'll bet he's quite the character to go fishing with. He's so Hollywood.

it would prob be a cheap vacation to come down here and fish. 39 bucks a night for a hotel and three hundred or if that for a week of fishing.

Oh it's on!!! Time to find me an ever-elusive Columbia 10lb Smallie!

Logged 200+ hours on the water last year without a single Largemouth. I need to get up to Silver this year at least once!

_Bassmaster_ · 12-09-2009, 10:53 PM

passed by silver today.... Iced over!! If you got an ice auger...let's go. This weather sucks!! Feels like Alaska around here. I looked at the weather back home(New Orleans) and it was 65 degrees. Awesome!!

indymusky · 01-28-2010, 09:01 PM

yea it usually never gets below 65 here
