7/16- SD River "Oh Yeah"

[VinnyBass]

Haven't fished the SD river since June 23 and figured I would do a quick morning session and take off before it gets too hot.
So much for early start as I finally got there around 7:15. In my past reports you will see that I do not get a lot of bites
down there. So when I miss a bite or a bass comes unbuttoned I talk about because you do not get that many opportunities.
Anyway, this time I was pretty darn lucky as I got 4 bites and landed all four bass. And a few healthy ones with a 5.25lb
bass, a 4.50lb bass, and 3.75lb bass. Had a lot of fun as the bass fight pretty darn hard at the river.

You have an addiction...you need some help! I think a simple 27 step course could help you! Or not.....

Very healthy looking fish...hate to think what they're eating in that River! Have you had your shots???

Heathy looking Basses! They certainly aren’t missing their meals.

You are the bass machine!!

You are the bass machine!!

Lucky sometimes more than others, but I really enjoy all of your posts you put in as you have really nailed some very nice healthy bass. Heck, besides admiring the bass in the pics , I look at any baits attached to see what I may not have and think that guy @Fishtricks really knows his s*** as I would probably not be able to catch things on those baits.....especially the quality bass you have shared with all of us.
Tight lines always

Can’t go wrong with the brush hog.

Can’t go wrong with the brush hog.

The lure of the past comes back to life. Heck I had about a hundred of the buggers(probably more) in my garage that haven't touched water since the 80's...ha ha. Now the Junebug colored ones I started buying last year as they often produced bass but not always ..ha ha

Nice Bag O Bass!

How much tackle do we have and keep buying? I know it's a ton. The crazy part is I keep going back to the same baits, only utilizing less than 5% of what I have. That's being conservative =/

Fish #2 looks like it healed from a nice injury in the past.

I have caught bass there that have definitely been caught before with battle injuries around the mouth.
All I know is most of them are pretty tough as despite their injuries, they are still eating.
It is funny that some of the bass there are really dark and others a lighter yellowish green color.
The ones deep in cover probably adapt to their environment and are darker I guess.
