Nice ones, Whit. That is a tank of a meanie!
-
Just came out this year I believe. Kind of like a Shad Rap, but a bit heavier in a comparable length. Shad Rap probably would have worked just as well today.

Mandatory meanmouth pic. Fish were really biting today, I waited until 1100 AM for the storms to pass through a set a deadline of 5 PM for leaving as they were predicting storms and did not want to get caught in one. In between, caught over 35 bass, even split between a 3/8 oz Bagely's Balsa shad and the PBJ Ned. Didn't fish too many places as they were stacked one I found them. A bluff end, couple of pockets on the sides of gravel points, the gravel points, and a few working buck brush banks. Pretty much stayed in the green water, and shallow 3-6 feet deep. Mostly 14-15 inch spots, a couple of smallies, means and a few largies. No monsters, biggest was a 3 lb. LM on a Menace grub, the only Menace grub fish and the last fish of the day. Don't think it mattered a lot today what lures to use, I think any reasonable springtime type bait would have caught fish, they were just biting. Water temps were 58-60. I don't think the males are making beds yet, but they are in there taking measurements.

Ugh, not good.

Good deal Hammer.

Looks like it has the coloration of a LM, but has that diamond like pattern of a spot.

Nice try...

I have to laugh at that. Yesterday I was coming through Pea Ridge on my way back home from fishing just as school was letting out at the middle school that is right by the road. Saw a gal walking on the sidewalk, I'm assuming she was there to pick up one of her kids, anyway she was barefoot.....and pregnant.

"100-foot Table Rock models" HAHA, that is a hoot!

Son! Another big fish. http://www.kansascity.com/sports/outdoors/article16397354.html

I talked to someone yesterday who tried to get back into Owl creek (I assume you mean the Owl creek off the White river channel). He told me it is full of floating timber and he could not get back in it. I did not go back there myself, but that's what I was told by a reliable source. Just something you might want to check out yourself beforehand if you are planning on fishing it tourney day.

A football for sure.

How things can change in a day - shallow water gravel bite was gone for the most part. I blame that on a lack of wind on those banks that held them yesterday. Could not get anything going, caught a dozen on the Ned, mostly small fish, may have had 2 or 3 keepers, but they were squeakers at best. Probably most consistent bite was on brown water banks in the coves, had a couple of good tugs on a Menace grub, but could not pin them. I think if I could do it all over, I'd work those brown water cove banks with a t-rig plastic that is visible and moves some water. Big Old jig with a trailer with active claws may work also. Water did clear up a bit today, still some brown water, but it is fishable. Surface temps were 56-57 with a couple of places showing 54.

As I understand things, they are a smallie/spot cross as you mention.

Nice one, congrats!

Before the latest rain event, I spent a day fishing with Huntest. We were talking about how much fun it is catching Table Rock bass on light spinning tackle fishing the Ned. I remarked to Huntest that I would never have fished the Ned if it wasn't for Dave being so persistent to me about what a great way it is to catch fish. We both agreed we owed Dave a thanks for enlightening us. Thanks Dave. My biggest LM so far this year (6.25 lbs.) came on a Ned, personal best Mean (3.5 lbs.) and the years best walleye (4lbs.) all came on a Ned. Netted a 5.5 LM for my buddy John earlier this year that ate a Ned. Catching a big one every once in a while is certainly fun, but catching a bunch of spotted bass on light tackle is a hoot also, I just enjoy the heck out of it. I realize that Dave didn't invent the Ned (Ned rig to me is a mushroom head or similar, tipped with half a Zinker), but he sure has provided a lot of info and help. Time to go, I'm waiting for the fog to burn off. Thanks again Dave!

That's some great fishing. Meeting GY is very cool.

Always good to see the young'uns get a fish. Congrats!
-
That's some good fishing. I think I may have seen you, I remember seeing a boat with the double P's.

I went up as far as Owl creek, water was getting pretty brown up there, and went down as far as point 23 area where it also started getting brown. I could not get bites in the brown water.

Some very nice fish, congrats on getting your clients on to them. There are some guys catching them out there, but in general it has not been easy. -
Airplane is hilarious, and a couple of the Naked Gun movies. The same guys that made those also made Top Secret which is a hoot. They also made that Top Gun parody with Charlie Sheen, that's another one that is god for some laughs.

Yep, I liked Band of Brothers and the original Star Trek, I was about 10 years old when Star Trek first ran and it seemed so cool and high tech. A good oldie if you like military series is Combat! Twilight Zone. Lately as far as TV stuff I pretty much just watch sports and movies.
