It was nice chatting with you brother!

Awesome brother. Maybe I'll try that tomorrow!

Had an awesome topwater at Murray today! I didn't really keep count but landed somewhere near a couple of dozen. Most were 1-2 pounders with several dinks and the wannabe Godzilla bass in the 3rd pic! But hey, it's topwater and always exciting so I'm not complaining!

Nice fish Vinny! Persistence paid off in a big mouth way eh? Congrats man!

Vinny showing us how it's done! Love your reports brother! I've been having lots of topwater success at Murray lately too! So much fun!

Chris you are da man! Great video as always.

Hey all I wanted to share a new lure (for me at least) that I doubt most of you have ever heard of. At least those who do not BFS or ultralight fish. It accounted for over 30 topwater bass yesterday at Murray. Probably 15 were dinks with the rest being 2 lb clones... except...I did manage to pull in ...

That's awesome! Thanks for the tip. Do you tie the leader on directly or use a snap / swivel? I use snaps for ease of lure change, but I'm guessing it might be quite better to direct tie. I'm sure someone will tell me to tie directly as I'm missing bites with the extra tackle. I just need to work ...

Glad to see your post again brother! Awesome fish porn too!

Awesome!

Nice seeing you as always brother! I for one am not tired of your posts at all and very much appreciate them. Keep em coming!

Today was my first day fishing this this week. Usually I have at least two days in by Thursday, but was busy dealing with some health issues with my "wife". She's much ...

It's not bad right? It's really beautiful right out of the box, but the finish doesn't last as long as something like a Lucky Craft. Mine was pretty beat up but still catching them. The tungsten weights rattle great, and it both walks and darts really nicely.

The hooks that come on it are super ...

Nice Slabs!

Awesome report thank you! I gotta get back to San V again soon. Congrats on the motor too!

I woke up early and flipped a coin between Murray and El Cap. Murray came up heads and won. But it turned out to be a good lucky choice.

The busting never really got going so I decided to jig fish the bottom. I found the bite just outside of dropoffs in 20-30 feet of water. The ticket was a 5/16th ...

When I reordered a Tsurinoya Flicker 70 from Aliexpress (see my previous post about a new lure) it was so cheap I decided to pick up a couple of other lures as well including its little brother which came in at 50mm, (under 2 inches) and 3 grams.

After catching probably 2 dozen dinks (1 pound or ...

Fish are supposed to take line, when we hook them. Thsts what makes it fun

My BFS reels are spooled with only 50-70 yards of line to help with casting distances. I could almost see the spool a couple of times during the fight lol

Very nice! Bet that was a big surprise!
I imagine you are always having fun when you are catching bass even clones around 2 lbs or even smaller
each trip because of the excitement of the water exploding on those small topwater baits. And then
a real blast when out of the blue a healthy bass beats ...

A few years ago COVID hit and I closed my business, sold my large 4 bedroom home, and decided to live out my retirement years free and easy in an RV. Since then I have fished an average of 4 days per week until...

A couple of months ago I looked at my old, well-worn travel trailer, and decided I ...

So sorry to hear of what you have been going through. Sometimes things in life at times just knock you down and it seems so hard
to get back up on your feet. It's not going to be easy and it is not fun by any means. I know you have that motivation in you just
like you do when you are out there ...
