COOSEFAN Report post Posted June 16, 2007 He guys....finally got out fishing agian last night and "FINALLY" caught some fish! I have always been a "finesse" style fisherman using light tackle and drop-shot techniques which I think is the reason I only catch small bass! So, my goal lately has been to catch big fish and I am now trying different tactics........and it worked last night. I know it's not a "lunker" but I was pretty stoked to finally hook into a fish that was larger than the normal "quarter-pounder"! Pops and I are heading to Alamo within the hour.....so hopefully we come back with more pictures thanks, JIM> I kept one of the little guys to show comparison to what I "normally" catch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bryson Bendall Report post Posted June 18, 2007 Nice fish, and nice boat. This past week i found a little pond about 15 minutes from my house with some bass in it and I am STOKED. Took the little bro out last night (8 yrs. old) who is just as addicted as I am now and all together we caught seven. I caught a nice 3 pounder and a 1 1/2 and a couple little ones. And he caught a couple little ones, but he had a blast. We're going tomorrow and I'll bring the camera. GOTTA LOVE BASS FISHIN. Once again nice fish Coosefan, I bet he put up a fight.

Hey Bryson....I wish I had a pond close to home with Bass in it! Good luck and post some pics! kphunter......we did weigh him and you are good! It was 4 lbs..........I thought he was more like 10 lbs when I hooked em'...... then I thought he was about 7 lbs when he landed in the boat......then the dang scale told the truth Holding the little 1/4 pounder next to him really put 4 lbs into perspective though Huntn Coues.......I have no clue why you can't see any pic's I've posted recently.......I checked my photobucket accnt and it's all good. I'll post another pic here hopefully it turns out. Pops and I did go to Alamo on Sat. night and we KILLED EM'! We stopped counting, but had to have caught close to 60 Bass!!! I haven't had a fishin' trip like that in years! We didn't catch the HOGs but we did catch a ton of 1 pounders and this one I'm holding up is probably the biggest one we caught.....I didn't weigh it but it was probably around 2 pounds. We were just dragging imitation crawdads on jigheads down a windblown mainlake point. We bounced around trying to find where the bigger fish were and caught fish on all the points, but never hooked into anything really big. We didn't really care.....we were catching fish all night long and it never let up.......we just got tired and took a nap, caught a few more in the morning and went home on Sun. Great trip with Pops.....can't wait to go again! Here also is a pic of Pops' "little" fishin' boat..........when yer fishin' off a 20' Triton with a 225hp Merc., you at least "look" like you know what yer doin'! Cruisin' at close to 70 mph around the lake is almost more fun than catchin' fish Thanks, JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
