My thoughts exactly, hahahahah But man he's on fire today! I only wish I was with him.

[cassidyta]

I woke up to some of the same texts this morning. I think it is great of Lisa to let him hold her fish.

[Bassboss]

Nice bass here's got there! on the 'ol liz too! Congrats John.

[MallenManson]

Yep! He was textin me as well! I tried to top him but fell a bit short.
Personally, I think he was reeling in one of his normal catches, and that hog ate it!
Great Fish, John!!!

[woody]

Solid fish! WTG John

[MallenManson]

You can tell this is the age of technology when bass fisherman are textin while on the water

[MIbasser]

[MallenManson]

Sounds like a great bad John! Been a while since I had some bass... I think I'm gonna miss the swampy flavor of florida bass though!

[WaffleJaw]

That is a monster fish John!,congrats!

[MallenManson]

Wow John, sounds like a great time all the way around!
Personally, I think you should release that 6er around here
Congrats again buddy!

[keithdog]

Thats awsome John! Sounds like a great day for sure, with meetin up with Bob and making new friends and all. Fillets for the dinner table, yum! Sounds the the post spawn is about there. That would be great for Wheeler! What kind of water were you catchin those bass in?

[WatterBoy]

Awesome fish, Bama! Way to go!!!!

[carolina-rig-01]

I was holding off on replying to this thread until I heard the story straight from the man himself. Now that I heard the full report I want to say congratulations on a great day. And it's amazing what old John can do when Lisa isn't in the boat catching all the big fish lol. Congrats again John, I bet it felt good buddy.

[66KingFisher]

Congrats on a nice day on the water buddy, and most of all fer hangin into a pig.....I know that musta felt good.

[islandbass]

Nice, job, Bama! That is a nice looking largemouth.

[bamabassman]

thanks again gang. i had a great time. can't wait for the next one now. truly hoping we ALL have this much fun at wheeler/wilson.

[nobass]

nice bunch of fish if the water ever goes down here i may get out nest weekend. did yoiu have puppis with them or are they still in the freezerr did you c rig or texas rig the lizard

[bamabassman]

nobass, texas rigged the lizzard. zoom lizzard, watermelon and punkinseed. sometimes dipped in spike-it chartruse garlic. toss it under the fallen down trees and watchit drift off a bit............then JERK OUT THEIR JAWS. lol. caught a LOT of dinks, but kept my limit (5). made 2 bags for dinner.

the water on g'ville is down bout 3 ft right now. very light rain coning MAYBE this weekend. but doubt if it pours down. hit and miss showers more like it. also got 1 keeper on a pop-r. topwater is heating up here QUICK. bring your topwater baits to wheeler gang. gonna be on fire i think.

[3dkicker]

Are you suuuuure that wasn't Lisa's fish and you were just holding it????? Something is smelling fishy with this story if you ask me.......

[bamabassman]

smitty i am SURE AS SHOOTING. lisa was on her way back from FLAWDA with here sister. she was kind upset that she wasn't with me though she said. she would've caught those for sure if she was, not me. so i got lucky see. besides....i was using some of her rods. maybe that is where the luck is? lol.

[Bob Smith]

Well I just got my PC back this evening and went fishing for a while. Tomorrow I will load the picture we took of John and THE FISH! Sure was a nice one! and we enjoyed visiting with ya Brother. We went on up to Mud Creek and starting wacking some good fish where the Creek and river form a ridge. Went from there up to Raccoon and fished all the way to the back with one 4 pounder to show for it. So we finished the day up at Mud Creek then came on in about 8:30 (full 12 hours on the water).
