Thanks Easy
I figured it out after a bit as I went though those simple steps and the reason it did not work was because I was naming the file with hyphen,dashes, periods of something and after I renamed the pic something with out them....like just the word Bass....it worked.
Love your pic!

t's been tough trying to catch those elusive Crappie this Spring. With the inconsistent weather and all of the lakes filling up its been a battle. Plus Mother Nature has been know to put the best laid plans of a fisherman to sleep. So I made the 9 hr trek up North ...

I'll start.

1. "Are you fishing?"

2. "Are there actually fish in there?"

3. "Do you eat them?" "Why don't you eat them?"

4. "Can I have it then since you're throwing them back?"

5. "Did you catch that?! (While pointing at my swimbait)

Your right it could be a 10lb anything, like a 10lb bluegill, crappie, salmon, tuna etc.

OMG..That is classic!
Like whatever you say or were going to say in response doesn't not mean anything because his buddy caught a bigger one than what you caught or are going to catch. ( Most likely it was a 5lb bass anyway that his buddy assumed weighed 10lbs..ha ha)

[media] Rainbow Bass (Guapote) Fishing: Lake Arenal Costa Rica
https://youtu.be/k9a9yRoWIq4[/media]

Pura Vida from Costa Rica!
Hey all I just had an amazing new experience fishing for Rainbow Bass or Guapote on Lake Arenal in Costa Rica. My wife and I decided to vacation in Costa Rica and I was ...

Yes they are a new world cichlid. Super fun I just wish we got more. I can’t wait to go back.

I’ve wound down on fish throwing to the bank when they bolt for deep water. More times than I can remember, winding like my life depended on it and couldn’t come tight till the fish was far and deep.

Fishing is allowed. Small bluegills and bass, a couple of koi.

Check out Poway Creek if you want bass, too.

F’n awesome. Is the tautog the dark one? Interesting fish


Yes those are tautog, a lot of fun to catch. Very similar to sheephead but I think they're a better gamefish since they're trickier to hook, pull even harder for their size, and don't seem like they've gotten badly depleted in recent ...

We finally made the transition to becoming Kentucky residents!! Life is a little slower, laid back, and enjoying the country life.

After adding structure to the pond and 25 lbs. of fathead minnows, there is still a long way to go in getting the bass fishery to where it needs to ...

About 10+ years ago I borrowed a friend's Aqua View. I saw a lot of bottom, not many fish though. Good for finding fishing poles that have been dropped over board.

After watching a Mark Zona's show I got this:

BTW, my rig shot this underwater Bass video and it was posted on SDFish YouTube in 2015

We have had a couple of snow flurries up here in Wyoming now, but winter hasn't set in like it did last year, when temperatures dipped to single digits and the snow hung around until May. No more fishing in the Uinta mountains across the border in Utah though. They definitely are covered in snow ...

It's officially c-c-c-cold up here in Wyoming. Mountain fishing is now a distant memory, and soon reservoir fishing will be, too. The high today was 33, and the Green River is starting to ice over. Also, the northern part of Flaming Gorge is almost skimmed over with ice. I have been fishing it with ...

When you learn to fish with both, you get even more screaming deals that open up to you

Twas the day after Christmas and I headed out, with my trusty old float tube in search of a trout. Mist hung o're the lake in the crisp morning air, I pulled on my fins and kicked out with a flair.

Armed with my new bait finesse reel and rod, forty pounds of trout lures (some that looked rather odd ...

Well this year was quite a fishing adventure for me...right down to the very last day. I just wanted to share a few pics from the end of the year and some of the bass from a few different places. I am not trying to brag (maybe a little...) just wanted to share some of the more than 700 fish I caught ...
