Birdwatcher, I do have pictures of the fish I caught. I have tried uploading but they are apparently larger than the max limit of 200 kb. Do u know of any other way I could post them? Thx.

A few days ago I was fishing a steep bank (located in racoon hollow cove for those of u that may know where this is). I was using a extra deep diving crankbait produced by strike king. After about 30 minutes or so I was getting tired as using one of those things requires cranking like its going out of style. Anyways I told myself, as many of us probably do " alright one more cast". I heaved the wooly mammoth of a lure one more time, yanking it back in parallel to the bank in about 22 feet of water when suddenly I felt something pulling my line. I could tell it was a good bass and when I got it to the surface it did not disappoint. My initial estimate was somewhere around 20 inches and 4 to 4.5 lbs. Not a monster but a good bass for sure here at the loto. I forgot my net at the dock that day and tried grabbing the line to pull it in. I will never do that again as the line snapped dropping my prized catch and 15$ lure in its lip back to the abyss. After a short prayer in which I swore if that fish somehow swims back w/I arms reach of the boat I would become a monk, I began another prayer w/ regards to needing forgiveness for all the 4 letter words I just taught the boy standing on the dock near me. I eventually moved on to another lure. After about another half hour I texted my mom and asked her if she wanted to go for a quick cruise before she headed home that afternoon. She said she would indeed enjoy a cruise so I told her I'd make a few more casts then head home. As soon as I finished texting her this, I put my phone in my pocket and noticed something shiny floating In the water next to my boat. It was my crankbait which I had lost probably half a mile behind me. The next day I went right back to the same spot and after only a few casts managed to get in the boat this time with a net, a 20.5 inch, 4 lb 5oz largemouth!

Northshore at the 4.5 mm. Are you located on the gravois also?

Hey just wanted to myself. Im 25 and have been coming to our cabin here on the gravois since I can remember. Been gettin into bass fishing the past several years. Anyways I'm interested in discussing tactics here on the gravois. Attached are some pics of my latest catch!..ok the file is too big. Well it was a 20 incher, 4 lbs 5 oz. Caught it on a deep diving crankbait, but shhh don't tell anyone!
