Weekend at Big Cedar
Well the wife and I just got back from Table Rock and Big Cedar Lodge last night. It was a lot of fun but the fishing was pretty tough. One of my homemade jigs caught most of my fish, followed by a shakeyhead, splitshot rig, spook, and squarebill. First day I had 3 keepers, second day I had a small limit, 3rd day we went to Bull Shoals and I caught a small limit again on squarebills and jigs.
Wasn't catching a bunch but the ones that were hitting the jig were killing it! This keeper spot tried to swallow my jig. Chunky largemouth. Nicole's white bass on a ned rig. She caught a smallmouth on it too but only took a picture with her phone. Keeper largemouth on a spook. My biggest from Table Rock ate a jig. My scale said 3.2lbs but it looked bigger in person and in the picture. Healthy fish either way. Keeper spot on a KVD 1.5 from Bull Shoals. 10" warmouth that ate my 3/8oz jig in a brushpile. One of the highlights of the trip. They had the Oakley Big Bass Tour going on this weekend and the weigh in was at Big Cedar. I knew about all that going on, I didn't know that KVD was going to be there. I was casually unhooking my boat at the ramp and I just looked up at the stage and instantly recognized him standing by the side of the stage talking to a couple other guys that were assisting with weigh in. I told my wife and we had to go say hi real quick. He was nice enough to let us get a couple pictures and he gave me a Oakley Big Bass Tour hat and signed it for me. |

Great report and pics, blue. Looks like you and Nicole had a fun time. That's cool that you just happened to run into KVD and got a chance to say hi and get a pic with him!

Very nice photots blue. Meeting KVD was the icing on the cake. I met him once and he seemed like a really great guy. I'd say it was a great trip. Congrats man!
