What a friggin night!
I think I went over the 10 or 11 figure tonight, bass catching that is...
The front was just comming in and little to no sprinkles or wind, figured tonight was the night, the fishing calendar had EXCELLANT on it lmao, and it WAS!

I started out with a tiny buzzbait that had plenty of weight, but for some reason the blade wouldn't stay on top, so after about 3 cast with that, I sat back in the seat and opened up the ol tackle box with spinnerbaits and buzzbaits in it, and got out the only regular size buzzbait I have left ( I really need to stock up on blades and buzzers )
Got it tied on, *heres the amazing part* ..and threw to the brushpiles on the dam, and I swear to god this hawg wallers up in the air about 2 ft and nails my buzzbait before it even got wet!
I got it in after a great fight, put it one the scales and it went 3.3 lbs, nice for me up here in Ohio...
Now get this, the hook wasn't on the lip, it wasn't in the gullet, or tongue,
that bass had grabbed it in mid air and my hook was under her gillplate on the inside,
The buzzbait was in her mouth all the way, with the hook wayyy back there past the rows of cartlidge that they move their gills with.
Now that I look back on it, I am glad I kept alot of pressure on her while fighting her, cus the barb wasn't in her skin or lip at all, the U part of the hook was wedged againt the side of the gillplate.
I also had never noticed the dif. in the sharpness of the lips that PNJ had stated, how that changes in sharpness and makes his game plan vary.
The bass tonight all had very sharp bumps on the lips and were red also..
After that tremendous hit I switched to the fluke and proably caught about 5 on it, then took out the tiki stick (motor oil) they call it watermelon red flake lol
and the dern fish would hit it and NOT LET GO...
I let one after another run with it and finally set the hook, the hook was in the top of the gullet but no harm, I usually hate to let a fish go that long, but was amazed at how they love that flavor.
One after another took the tiki
My seconded biggest bass took it and finally jumped way up to throw it , I set the hook on her in the air and got lucky.
The ol fishing calender said best fishing today, and ALL WEEK, so get out there!
now that I think about it,,maybe i had over 13 .......... hmmmmmmm..lol
