Nice seeing you on the site JJ.
The water is high with lots of new areas for the bass to hide…. but pretty sure you and Otay Michael will be finding and catching plenty of them.

You're not that old...80 is the new 40.....or 79

Speaking of old....at least I know the difference between land and water. It was funny because when you came out of the water you asked "that other guy"(you know who you are) how did I get so wet? ha ha. Glad you are learning to use the Tokyo rig ...

Speaking earlier of Tokyo rigs.....I just had to add this pic again in this fish report as it does take a little practice...and glad Mcfish is ready to give it a shot.

Heck yeah ….

Heck yeah!!!
Nice job buddy. It’s always fun to go back to the lake where it was tough and have a nice rebound. Those are some nice fish….. what a difference a week makes eh? Thank you for sharing your fun day with us. Like I told you…it’s going to be a great summer. Tight lines always.

Hitting 2 different lakes in 2 days......Sweeeeeeeeet!
From semi murky water to clear water really can test a fisherman.
I remember those days and need to try to do that a few times this year.
Anyway, nice job out there and thanks for sharing(love the pics!)

I guess there are countless number of doctors and surgeons that have been wearing masks for decades and decades and not sure all of them have destructive health issues....but what do I know, I am just a bass fisherman...ha ha
Glad you are not saying guys who throw lots of topwater baits year round ...

Nice job out there!
Looks like you had a lot of fun catching those topwater bass and they are starting to hit the surface now at a few lakes.
I think it is going to be a good summer of topwater fishing. Nothing is more exciting! Thanks for sharing and

Post is below

Don't know how this happened

But it must be a part of getting old.

Hey...speaking of old....Today is McFish's Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY McFISH!

He is old, but a heck of a great guy and fisherman.

oh yeah...my post is below ...ha ha

Hit Murray this morning(like you guys did not see that coming...ha ha) and it was cool and overcast. I heard of a few topwater stirrings from my buddy Larry who wrangled in some recent topwater bass, so I was ready. It is still a little early for topwater and should be going off a lot better as we ...

Way to find them JJ. Not easy when the water is like that.
I’m surprise the bass can see a pumpkin colored senko… ha ha

Sweet!!!!!
I have not been at that lake for a long, long time. Thanks for sharing. Some big bass have come out of there.

That far lake thought the years can be very tough to fish especially when the water was so low unless you like to fish for carp. But just about every April and sometimes early May(depending on the weather) there is a period where some very nice fat healthy bass are caught. It is kept pretty quiet ...

Nice job getting out there and catching bass with all that pressure on the lake. Seems like there’s so many tournaments at a lot of the lakes especially on Saturdays. Heck I try not to fish on the weekends but most of the time when I do go to other lakes, I try to go on a Sunday. Thanks for sharing ...

Nice job getting anything up there @mcfish. Heard it’s very very tough with all that extra water in the lake. Remember when I kidded you that you would have to launch near the concession stand after all the rains we were having…..I guess it was pretty much true. Anyway, at least you got some fish ...

Good to see you out there yesterday morning.Sorry to hear you didn't catch a dozen bass at Sutherland. Good you found those 3. It's been very tough this year. I have been skunked 4 weekends in a row at Sutherland. The water level being so high, I think the fish are confused. Hopefully it will get ...

Dang it!!! I have to tell you that I had a completed story ready to post and lost it by opening another window and not saving it as a draft.
After screaming several "special" words showing my frustration...here is the post and a lot shorter than the original which is good as many of you know most of ...

Great report Vinny,
You write with Enthusiasm, we can tell you have a true love for the sport of fishing.
The childhood photos are fantastic.
Looking forward to more adventures.

Thanks for the kind words @stringbean. I do really love to fish and being a guy who loves to talk a lot ...
