Here is the pic you mentioned above..........Mini and Mighty!

Well...I was super excited to go to the giant bass mecca in Nor-Cal and was not disappointed (mostly, more later...) Went with my little brother and we both got fish the first day on a boat (cant remember the guide's name...my brother booked him) But here are a couple examples, sorry this time I ...

Quick morning session on the float tube at Hodges on Sunday. Ended up with five on the drop shot close to shore. Three of them in the same spot within minutes of each other which was nice after two hours of no bites. I’m guessing they were on spawning beds there, also indicated from their tails ...

I love reading and looking at posts from all the forum members here!
I rarely post but I thought this was worthy and also to celebrate my Dad who recently passed!
He loved to see pictures of the fish I caught from salt or fresh waters!
I can't send him ...

Thank you for posting and sharing the bittersweet day. Congratulations on the big fish and condolences for your loss. At least you still have the amazing memories and now you can associate those memories with your biggest bass. Cheers!

Great story and a nice tribute to your dad. Really nice fish too.

Congrats on the PB And my condolences. Lost my dad a couple years ago. It’s a tough one. Sending prayers your way.

Reaper!

My Pops was my Fishing Partner and Friend. It is hard to lose both. The things he taught me about the intricacies of Bass Fishing were endless. The Man could fish! He taught me that you can improve yourself your whole life. I miss him so much.

You will always have the memories of sharing fishing adventures together and catching big bass!
You know the day will come when you lose a parent but never are you prepared for when it actually happens!
I never expected so any responses from everyone and thanks for sharing the great picture of your ...

I’m sorry for your loss. I lost my father this past Sept. 11th ( another reason to remember that day). Always loved being able to share pictures and stories with him. Definitely feel his presence still, as I’m sure you will too. Congrats on the big girl!!

What an awesome dad you had set you up for something you love!
I'm sure he loved to just be on the water and share his time with his son and seeing him do something that he loved to do!
My Dad would take us surfing everywhere Hawaii Mexico all over California and he didn't surf!
I guess ...

Decided to make my first trip out to what is known here at “the lake of D&K” in 30 years this morning. As fate would have it, turned into an SDFish party out there!

I only fished till about 10am but ended up with 5 landed and 3 lost. Worm fish all of them except for one.

Will definitely return ...

That lake looks familiar! Who named it that D&K foolishness? (I did) I got 8 bass and a crappie. Mostly on a jerkbait. Got twin 3.28 lb fish on a gunfish. Those were my biggest. Almost cold a couple of times.
Cannot imagine a world without Sutherland open on Fridays!

Donald and Kiefer ...

It was really awesome seeing you all out there! It was my first time at Sutherland but it certainly won't be my last. Thanks for showing this old guy the ropes out there. My final count was 14, not including three dinks which would have made it 17. All in all in awesome day!

Haven't been back to the lake since April 12 and boy did the water level rise. It takes a lot longer to get there than going to Lake Murray
and arrived a little after 6 a.m. As I parked next to McFish's truck, both he and Fisheromen already were out on the water. But wait, I
turn to the right and ...

Yep, a clone kind of day!

What are you guys bitching about? We got to spend the day fishing! You should try ultralight gear. Suddenly those "clones" will feel a lot more exciting...but be warned... it's addictive and you'll never want to go back. Your old gear will feel like broomsticks and about as sensitive.

As I said on ...
