10lbs bass sounds like real good fishin' to me

I couldn't believe the size of the shiners we were using. Some were the size of small panfish...about the size of white perch, lol.

That's the way you catch the BIG ones!!

I've never caught anything over 8lbs+/-, but that was in Maryland. Striped Bass/Rockfish season was a really big deal for me growing up. We usually used eels for bait though.

I was really hoping that others would have fish pictures to post up too...looks like I'll have to pick up the pace

I have been way too busy to go fishing at all lately, but that will change in about a month. hopefully I'll catch something worth showing.

I mostly grew up fishing ponds for bass and catfish 4lbs large mouth bass and 14.5 Catfish are my best, respectively.

[stxnas]

That's a pretty sweet catfish! I honestly think that the biggest Large Mouth I ever caught was before I even hit double digits in age. I have a picture of me lipping it and I'm wearing an ET shirt, lol!

I've been pretty fortunate to have been able to try some of the things that I have. I've been on a charter boat and caught large Stripers, Sea Trout, and Spanish Mackerel (this one was DELICIOUS). I've fished rivers and streams and caught anything from Rainbow Trout, White and Yellow Perch, Small Mouth Bass, and all kinds of Catfish (Channel, Bullhead, Yellow, White, etc). I even went to Canada once and caught what was supposedly a Strawberry Bass. I think it was something else though, b/c I think it was too big to have been that.

Wow, you sir are much more well versed in fishing than I. I'm quite jealous of all your experiences with fishing. I MUST go fishing on my off weeks coming up in November!

[stxnas]

Yeah, I've definitely been pretty fortunate in those regards.

I go back to the first shift in about two weeks, so I'm not sure how much fishing I'll be doing then. I'll be able to spend more time in the gym though

I couldn't see the picture when I took it out on the lake this morning. It didn't turn out as well I thought it did or I would have taken another. This bass was a little bigger than it looks in this picture

Very nice. Large mouth bass now we are talking. Although I was impressed with the Superdrol catfish.

[stxnas]

I will admit that the catfish was a little bigger . This was just as fun to bring in though. It was the only hit all day too.

[EasyEJL]

looks like around 18 inches?

[stxnas]

Just about.
He was a young one though, so he didn't have that signature fat belly on him. Probably not quite two lbs...yet...I threw him back for next year

[funkd0c]

Nice one bro! Making me jealous, I need a REAL day off so I can go to the ponds!

[stxnas]

I learned the hard way to know what pond you're fishing in before casting out that line. There are some really strange fish in this one.

I catch something weird every now and then too. It seems like just about anything goes in Florida.

Nice one bro! Making me jealous, I need a REAL day off so I can go to the ponds!

I'm paying for it tonight. I caught that bass after getting off of work at 07:00. I'm dragging tonight.

I have a funny picture to post once I get home tomorrow (it's funny to me). I still have shiners and minnows from Tuesday AM and I figured out a way to keep them aerated at work

[stxnas]

Bait shop or Laboratory?

[stxnas]

It's bigger than it looks in this picture...

[stxnas]

This one shows the size better, but the teeth look cooler in the first pic

WTF is that beast??? Please tell me it is not a Superdrol Pickerel!!! Damn that is a savage looking fish.

[EasyEJL]

I used to fish for pickerel up in upstate NY and pennsylvania. Got some serious damn big ones. I think the biggest was close to 3 feet. What a pain that was to bring in. In the lakes where they were common, had to go with as much as a 1 foot steel leader just so the bastards wouldn't bite thru the line
