COOSEFAN Report post Posted June 24, 2008 Finally got some pic's loaded up from a fishin' trip last week. The fishin' was incredible and my thumb is still raw from lippin' those big bass! I heard something splashing around in the water and looked to see a young Whitewing doin' the backstroke in the middle of the lake. We trolled over and threw em' in the boat. He sat on the middle seat for about an hour and just watched us fish while he dried off in the sun! There were other folks fishing near us and they all got a kick out of our little mascot, or as we called em'...our "lucky charm". I eventually caught a nice bass that was just over 4 pounds and got the little guy to pose for a couple pictures. As soon as I leaned over to release the fish, our "lucky charm" flew off, almost into the water again, but he made it up into the trees! Very cool experience I was fishin' with Butters and we had a little competition goin'.......I kicked his butt with this 5lb 4oz fish! To his credit though, I did witness him losing one at the boat that was considerably larger......I swear I saw his eyes water up, but the tears quickly went away when my laughter broke the silence Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nice "fishin shoes" Ah...you do know a little spanish! I was catching spawning bass but haven't in a while, I think the tail stays bloody for a little while is my guess. The fish have moved from the shallow beds down into the deep thick stuff lately. Oh, and Danners aren't only used for huntin' Thanks, JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do not speak Spanish BUT, pez is what I do after drinking a few cold ones. pescado is what I do after several chats with Mr. CUERVO Casey, the difference is that a Pez swims in a lake, and a Pescado swam in a fryin' pan We were at Tempe Town Lake.......that's why there were other people around!

COOSEFAN Report post Posted June 25, 2008 Pitchin' chartreuse jigs and lizards up under overhangs, cranks have also worked well. Right now some of the bigger lakes have incredible topwater bites in the AM and last till late in the mornings. Wish I could get in on that, but for me it's time to hang up the poles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CouesWhitetail Report post Posted June 25, 2008 That dove is lucky it didn't end up being bass food! That's a unique photo for sure of you, the bass and dove. Wonder how long that dove floundered in the water before you picked it up. Amanda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
