Pretty Good Night.

[danielbasspro]

My buddy Justin and I went fishing a couple nights ago at Lake Seminary and we tore em up I caught the big one on the trick worm and he caught his fish on a senko. We did pretty good altogether we caught around 15 fish that night. Just thought i'd show you.

Hey Daniel are you fishing from the bank or taking out a small boat?

[Bassboss]

Good fish guys!

How where you guys fishing the trick worms, weight less?

[danielbasspro]

Cool thanks!

How sensitive is that line btw?

[danielbasspro]

Its not the most sensitive line but I still love it it feels like mono and casts great. I think its about $11.99 per spool

[CMorg]

Very nice fish there...

[muddy]

You are either 6 foot 7 , or that bass is more like 5 lbs

[nofearengineer]

I don't know, Muddy. That bass on the left (are we talking about the same fish here?) looks to be a solid 24". That would make it somewhere between 7 and 8 pounds. The one on the right seems like around 5, like you say.

Ok Daniel,I cant believe you tampered this photo and didnt tell everyone that I went fishing with yall....Im very disappointed.
Here is the original photo,and proof that Daniel is merely a midget.

...And his friend too.

[muddy]

Thats Great!

I was bustin on him, see the emoticons, when I am serious it's all text

Here is a standard, not 100% accurate formula you can use

The basic formula for calculating the weight of a largemouth bass or smallmouth bass is: length x length x length divided by 1600 ( from a Doug Hannon article on another site)

I dont bother with weight , if I ever catch a fish over 10 lbs it would be a miracle or a dream I wake up from.

The only sure way is a good quality digital scale,used properly

The formula is good if you hook something big and want to put it back and have some idea. If you do not have a tape measure with you, just cut some mono for the length measurement and the same for the girth.

I really hope those fish were released or eaten in all those photos.

Daniel, could you elaborate on Waffle's claim?

[danielbasspro]

LOL Waffle maybe you are just a giant. Im not a midget lol. My buddy's fish to me seemed about 4 pounds but I wasnt sure. But tonight we are going back out on the hunt for giants we are dropping black and blue Yamamoto Flappin' hogs with big 1 oz. tungsten flippin weights into some trees. Thats the way to do it

Do you have any watermelon Flappin Hogs? I just got this from a friend for Christmas, he knows the colors I always use.

1oz? Wow that's a lot!

If you don't catch any like that, try using a lighter weight, like down to 3/8 oz. It'll drop lots slower, and the bass on the top, and middle portian of the tree will get a better look at it and slam it!

But their's not denying that the 1oz weights will get you some reaction bites!!

I dont have any just because the water im fishing is muddy and in muddy water im more confident with a darker color.And yes they were released but I occasionally eat some smaller ones. I put egg and flour and fry them up on one pan, then start to make grilled cheese in another pan, but cook each side of the sandwhich seperately, then I put the fish in the middle and close the sandwich and let it fry for a minute and its the best its like the McDonalds Filet-O-Fish

And Bassboss I use the lighter weights occasionally but the trees im throwing are real shallow(about 4 or 5 feet) and have lots of muck and grass on top so the lighter weight might not get through but if the muck isnt there then I do use the lighter weights.

Hey Try this recipie, i learned it in New Orleans: right around the corner to the West of you

Get your Bass Filets, and soak them for about 15 mins in a bathof
milk
eggs
few drops of worchester sauce
few drops tobasco sauce


in a flat pan or dish get some
CORN FLOUR ( not meal) Wal Mart and many health food stores usually have it
Mix in a good amount of Tony Chchere's Creole Seasoning in it and some garlic powder

Take the filets one at a time out of the bath and drag em throguh the corn flour mix, then re-dip into egg bath , and repeat the flour drag

DOUBLE BATTERED FILETS!!

In a cast iron old fahioned black frying pan, 1/4 filled with Vegtable oil, heat til just below smoking and add filets, 2 mins on each side max

take em out, sprinkle with a bit of cider vinegar and you are good to go!
