God bless him and his family.

I need to work on getting one first!!

Purdy looking buck! Has all the characteristics of a mature buck. Broad neck, grey face, and nice thick rack. Nice going!

Nice buck and good shot. Looks like you double-lunged him from the photo.

NICE! How far away? 5 yards?

Not too shabby. Nice going Rick!

Yeah I know. He loves those glorified green carp

Nice one! Big head on that thing! I'm sure he snacked on a few bass here or there.

Pics? Pics? Beuller? Beuller? Beuller?

If the lure floats at rest it may have trebles. J plugs are acceptable.

Coho fo' shore.

'Hedges' is a restaurant on the lake 5 miles east of Iron. Bay

Dude it was still dark and i hadn't had any coffee at that point Marcus said his boat is sexier! Nice job last night. Any big smallies showing up yet?

Too bad. I just figured when i saw you leave the launch before the weigh in you didn't have much to show for the day. You know like you normally do in most tournaments LOL Did you fish last night?

Formally ended my bass fishing season today with a spectacular day on Conesus Lake with my friend Dan. We second guessed making the trip down from Rochester at 4:30am in the morning to fish an open memorial tourney through the York Bass Club, but in the end sucked it up and went. Glad we did! Despite on and off rain all morning, we managed one of our best days fishing this lake. We made a run to an area we hadn't fished all season but have had good success in the past when conditons were similar to what they were that morning. Our instincts were good. The topwater bite at first light was phenomonal! The bass were lighting up the surface with our offerings of buzzbaits and chugging style baits well into the morning. These fish were all chunks! the kind you want for a tourney bag. Mix in a small tiger musky and some big northerns on topwater and we had a blast! after about an hour or two the dust finally settled a bit and the topwater bite slowed. By that time we had already culled several fish from our bag and were looking at about 15 lbs. for 5 fish. Knowing there were good sized fish in our areas, we didn't venture any further and proceeded to slowly pick away at the fish the rest of the morning on a mix of soft plastics and jigs, gradually increasing our final weight. At the weigh in we officially had 18.48 lbs. for 5 fish. Our smallest being 3.4 lbs. and biggest fish was 4 lbs. This was our best bag ever in a tourney, and big enough to take first place. Runner up team had a little over 16 lbs. It put a little cash back in our pocket and made the morning in the rain all worth it !!!! Would like to thank Yankee Troller for helping to contrbute the winning pot!! Bass gear is officially packed up for the season and now it is time to move onto some salmon, chrome, and deer !!!

Pike have been active along weededges during the evenings we have fished the last couple of weeks. Have had 2 pike around 36" or better grab bass that we bringing in to the boat. Sliced up the poor buggers pretty bad!!

Awesome chinny !!! I still don't understand that rule. Why not be able to weigh it in the next morning :?:

MIke, Nice to see a report from you. How is the new rig?? Steve

Nice toothy one!!

What lakes did you fish?

They are definitely there! saw 2 over 40" last year fishing for bass in 2nd and 3rd lakes. Also had a couple of shorts follow our lures in the 24" size range. There are enough numbers of them to successfully target them and expect to catch fish.

Awesome brown! :shock: Any details? You can't post a pic like that without a story....

You're right. That bass is much bigger than the ones he is used to catching!

Does the AARP sponsor your team of old farts? Must be nice to be retired and fish with a retired crew. NIce brownie Pops!
