I love El Cap as a lake, but avoid it due to the wind. Back when I was younger it did not bother me as much. Oh how things change=)
Too bad about the bigger one coming off. That's what keeps up going back....next time.

Way to go on the BFS pursuit of largemouth bass! Back in the day I always wanted a bait caster that would allow me to throw 4 and 6 lb. test, without the line getting in gap between the spool and frame of the reel. Nice to see they figured that out. Going to have to look into it and maybe ditch the ...

Nice fish. I too lost my biggest hooked bass on a crank. The lower lip of the bass was too big by far to allow the hook on my Norman Big Little N to pernitrate the fishes mouth. It was just skin hooked in the lower boney part of her jaw. Her jaw bone was bigger around than my thumb. Got her to the ...

Man, every year you show these amazing photos, I just want to go there that much more! Look so beautiful!! Thanks for sharing!

That bass looks like it been going to the gym=)

Darn Cannibals. That crank gets it! Reminds me of the Shad Rap 5 30 years ago.

Nice day out there!

Way to keep putting the time in. Nice work!

Another great video! I see your editing skill are evolving=)
That morning glass looked nice.

That lake looks healthy and full. The last time I was there it was so much lower.

You need to have some pint size Beefshaman Koozies made up to keep you beer cold while you fish. Then you could pass some ...

I ordered a Zoo Pup bait along with with the this crazy looking thing called a Bone Doctor. I plan on trying the latter as a finesse jig trailer. I'll let you all know how they work out for me.

I would hate to see my hookup ratio ...

This one. You will love the tighter spiral that that line goes through. It gives you more control and keeps the chains closer to the hooks.

Met a gentleman named Mike at the lake who told me that he actually enjoys my posts here on the forum so this one's for you brother.

I arrived @Mcfish 's lake when it opened and got on the water just in time for some excellent topwater action. I caught 5 quality bass in the first hour and a half ...

Great detailed report! Way to get out there and enjoy life!

It’s all good. Honestly the wading and go pro was a joke. I’d be lying if I didn’t swim more than once for something in that lake. The release was rough.

Take it easy killing time, all I had to “know” you by was your response to this post. “Agreeing” with that “toss” wasn’t funny in the context ...

Correct, If you are having difficulties getting a hook out of your fish or taking a long time on photos......... Please Dip you fish back into the water every 30 seconds or so to keep them wet!!!

I have to say that no matter how far BassHound chucked his fish, he still treated them better that the ...

I thought Vail Lake was a private membership only lake?

Dude, you're a fishing machine! Keep it up=)

Classic! Brush Craws, LOL.
Way to get out there and keep on getting a line wet!

6 footballs is a good day.
Those Robo fat worms work great!
Thanks for the report!

Thanks for the report. Sounds like a good day.
