Oh man! Best wishes on a speedy recovery. I hate the green goop. At least you got a few.

I know the Launch Ramps are so handy. Slide right in and you are fishing, plus you can usually nail a Bass there before you get out. Ive been there, laying in 6 inches of water completely soaked, bruised and bleeding, after a slippery spot. It happens so quick. Leave the Ramps for the Boats, I just ...

I came across this video on Youtube. Thought I would share.

Thanks Roy, I love that place ... except for trout. :? LMK if you want to put the kids on some wintertime shore bites on trout. Its been great in San Diego already but it really heats up through December and January, mid-mornings. A couple of lake options. Crappie rods work great and I have all the ...

Took a 2,500 mile road trip pulling the trailer to the Cascade Mountains and everywhere in-between. Had a chance to fish Diamond Lake, about a half an hour from Crater Lake.

Took out the kayak and it was windy. Sucks because it was glass the evening before, but that's the way it goes when you want ...

I just found the site and wanted to get things going again. I got this nice red ear sunfish at lake 5 on a night crawler.

Thanks for thinking of me. @Str8t Slabaronies was kind enough to text me. Those are beautiful fish. I have issues that have kept me off the water this year so far, but I think I'm close to coming back.

Lately I have been visiting Santee Lakes and catching bass, but also watching the newly hatched bluegill grow from one inch to more than three inches. They always seem to be feeding on heavy concentrations of freshwater plankton and also on hatching bugs in the heat of the day. They are usually ...

Very nice! And a 2 lb kicker too.

Tasty critters

There are a lot of big ones out at Miramar lake too

Good day in my book!

I got super lucky this afternoon at San V. After catching a bunch of bass on dropshots, I decided to target a few panfish laate in the day based on my meter readings and WHAMO, blessed with a tanker panfish, a 4.2 lb. redear.

She was caught on 2 lb line and a piece of nightcrawler, 18 feet deep on ...

That’s awesome! I can’t believe it took 21 years for someone to break the record. Look at that belly full of eggs. I’m sure the quaggas play a key roll for these fish to grow as big as they do.

Holy shit, that is a fucking monster. Unfortunately it probably died but damn! You weren't fishing for bass with a 2lb setup on hand.


OK, but I caught eight bass, and one panfish. Yes its possible that she swam off strong and then died. The stringer is through the lip, not the gills and nothing ...

Congratulations. You are a serious angler and deserve it. It beats my personal best by almost a pound.

Congratulations. You are a serious angler and deserve it.


I'm honored, as you are truly the panfish master! Your experience, knowledge and information sharing over the years is inspirational to many in the panfish community.

I hope that we'll all be surprised at the size of fish caught this ...

Thanks for saying that. It means a lot to me. After a lifetime of always being the guy who never gets sick, it has been one ...

Great Job Larry! You deserve it! You put in more work than anybody else I know. Congrats!
