hookedonbigbaits Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 I primarily fish this 40 or so acre lake because it's close to home and always has good visibility. The down side is there is a very large amount of fishing pressure and I've never landed a fish over 2 lbs....until today. I launched the kayak yesterday morning and started off tossing a wood punker. Third cast this fish blew up on it just off a lilly line. She went 3.06 and clearly needs to eat some more. I would think she's a solid 4 lb fish in the spring and when she feeding heavy. 19.5" and skinny! I also pulled another 3lber in a short time later fishing a pizz carp glide in about 18 feet of water over some large limestone boulders. To top it all off I recovered my OG bloody carp I broke off on a poor cast the week prior. It's good to know there are some better fish in this body of water. Now I'm very interested in seeing just how big they are getting in here! LUV-2-CATCH'EM, BrhodesBassin, Hhunn and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick S. Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Haha that's an awesome day. Always feels good to get a bait back that you thought was gone forever. Couple of nice fish on top of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACE of Bass Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Funny, I too found out a couple of years ago that my local honey hole had fish over 2 lbs! A small high pressure lake only sees shiners, worms and jigs. Then we tried Slammers and rats, and we started catching 5-6 pounders. No one believes me that they are in there, and thats just fine with me! Nice catch, even better recovery! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
