I'd blacken the heck out of a few filets (pronounced 'fill-its' outside of Pittsburgh).

Perhaps you can slice the filets to make "thin-fried." More crunchy batter taste and less fishy.

It's good to see everyone doing well, and catching some very nice fish. How's everyone been?

Cason, cold and windy - how you been?
'Bout time for you and James to be posting your 10+ lb HSB pictures.
We continue to recover loss of our largest during the extreme drought of 2011 - looking better all the time.

The water is warming up down here the bass are off the bed. The res are on and a few BG are fanning. Clouds of gsh fry everywhere. My wife caught this cc while BG fishing it was fun on 4# test! But she will not hold a cat fish because of an unfortunate finning a few years ago.

About the same here George. I'm ready for it to warm up and stay that way. We had one of our worst years for crappie last year. It's still been slow this year, but it looks like recruitment has picked back up. I guess that's the trouble with them, we had everything on the right track and then mother nature decides to skip a recruiting class. On the upside we did catch some really nice HSB last year, and will be restocking some more this year. In other news I became a father last August.

BK, I think that 14-1/2" SMB might be one of the 5-6" SMB that were initially stocked in late October of 2011.

Great looking largemouths, Nate!


"Forget pounds and ounces, I'm figuring displacement!"

If we accept that: MBG(+)FGSF(=)HBG(F1)
And we surmise that: BG(>)HBG(F1) while GSF(<)HBG(F1)
Would it hold true that: HBG(F1)(+)AM500(x)q.d.(=)1.5lbGRWT?
PB answer: It depends.

n8ly, are those from the new property?

If so, seems like there was some decent management going on.

Nice LMB !!! All but one look in good condition. One may be reaching old age (big head thin stomach). If a mth later here it could be post spawn - there now , I think just old age .

I've been out twice so far this year...

2 weeks ago culling some bass out of the little pond:



And last night the kids and I went out on the dock on the big pond for an hour or so:

I've heard that if you're wondering if you have big fish in your pond to have someone fish it who hasn't.

Amy (brother's girlfriend) was pretty excited to pull out this 17" 2.95 lb LMB out this morning.



So far, 2.25 lb had been the biggest.
