Tuggers
 
Just had to share...
bass fishin was off the hook today!
Thank you prowler user for the inspiring post...
I was joined by Lou dog and Wiredantz today...
good fishing with you guys!
next stop...tuggers!
and oh my...the tuggers were out in full force today...
only one hit on the 5" swimmy, the 4's and the little green blams were the weapons of choice today...first tugger to get the stink off was a little friendly YBRF (released, as all fish were today)...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141540.jpg
then the fun began...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141541.jpg
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141542.jpg
and then Frank's turn...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141544.jpg
this was the best swimbait today...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141546.jpg
and then it happens...
that moment we all fish for...
that moment when you hope you put the wood to 'em fast enough to keep 'em outa the rocks...
when you know it's a good'n and you hope you get to see it...
when I saw this thing I knew it was a contender for a new PB...
and I was right...I now have a new PB sandy, 8 lbs on the boga!
this thing was a long as my kayak is wide...look at this...
this is NOT a wide angle lense...this thing was a freak!

I'm still just a giggling idiot...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141548.jpg
but that's not all...although there were no more PB's, there were still some more good quality bass yet to come...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141555.jpg
a nice solid 2 lber for Frank!
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141558.jpg
and this one almost hit the 5 mark on the boga, a solid 4.5...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141560.jpg
and Lou dog had his day...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141562.jpg
a solid 4.75 grumpy ol' tugger....
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141570.jpg
and another big 'un...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141573.jpg
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141574.jpg
there were alot of good fish and the action never really stopped...
...just good clean American fun!
No fouls for me 'n' Lou on the landing...here's Lou timin' it right...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141577.jpg
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141578.jpg
and here's Frank...not so right...
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141579.jpg
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141580.jpg
http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t...9/P5141581.jpg
no fish or humans were injured in the making of this post!
or...wait...maybe a the little...

carbonbass 05-14-2011 07:11 PM

wow you guys scored, were you fishing structure or bait balls?

Flyfisher70 05-14-2011 07:33 PM

Wow, you guys did great out there. Thanks for sharing the report.

Amish Ed 05-14-2011 09:35 PM

Dang, that's my kind of dream day. Hope Franks landing was only a bath and not a yard sale. Where were you at?

IB Fish"N" 05-15-2011 05:26 AM

Nice Hawg looks like you guys had a blast. Also nice pics were did you get the waders with the zipper?

Jimmyz123 05-15-2011 05:31 AM

Great report, even down to you catching the yard sale in progress. That looked like a fun day.

Iceman 05-15-2011 06:37 AM

Love the Blams! Way to put Frank on some fish, I bet he learned alot from you two! Nice of you guys to land and grab the camera:biggrinjester::kayak-surfer:

landwhale 05-15-2011 07:14 AM

yaksailor 05-15-2011 07:38 AM

Awesome bass and awesome landing. Did anyone help the poor guy from drowning in 2" of water, or just keep filming him?:D

that is why there is no drowned rat pics, after the first two, we helped him...but that laugher continued...Frank was a good sport...
and he was warned his adventure would be shared!
and just so y'all don't think it's cruel to post a whipe out...(it's mandatory in my neighborhood)
I'll share this... http://www.kayaksportfishing.com/php...ghlight=mauled

Got my own case of bass thumb today. The world feels right again. Cool to see Lou Dog back on the yak.

herbo 05-15-2011 03:01 PM

Totally Awesome Pics and Reports !!!!!! What a great day for sure except for maybe the wipe out.....H:sifone:

mtnbykr2 05-15-2011 04:03 PM

truely the best report I have ever seen, Frank, I can't say enough about how you let the whole world to actually witness a classic example of how to have "yard saleage", we did about the same in DP, the sandies were on, all the calico were short except for a 9# from a guy that was fishin in the SWBF tourney...water was RRRRRoghHHHH, but a great time, met some nice guys from Kayak Mafia, and Dana Point Jet Ski all good guys, had some burgers afterwards, the winner was a 4.5# sandie, fun time...
anyway thanks for the fish porn....:reel:

Aaron&Julie 05-15-2011 04:13 PM

Nice catch. Always good when something is pulling on the end of the line.

wiredantz 05-15-2011 04:29 PM

Lol I had a great time. I broke my record yesterday for the first time in history I caught not one not two But five fish! And 4 were Legal. After everything I learned yakrider told me I had to get baptized. Lol

But as always I expected a yard sale all my my rods were stored inside my yak as well as everything else. The fishing bag the hand pump and my yellow paddle float were all tied to my yak. Nothing was lost excePt for a foot peg I have no idea where it went.:wsb:

Hunter (The 80's Man) 05-15-2011 08:25 PM

What a day... looks like lotsa' fun; great day, great friends, great fishing.

Lou Dog 05-16-2011 01:00 PM

Fun day for sure. :reel: Can't wait to get back out & do it again.
Josh :you_rock: It seemed like every time Josh threw his line in the water he got a bite. He is one super fishy dude. I'm glad Frank had all his stuff stowed, it happens to pretty much everyone at some point or another.

Let's go drift the river again for Trout! We'll trade in the bass thumb for some trout thumb.
