Members mahto Posted October 3, 2011 Members Posted October 3, 2011 Yakfished from Pineville to home (across from Mt. Shira) Sunday. Put in at 11:30, out at 7pm. Caught over 50 fish, all on a 5" finesse worm, green pumpkin seed, rigged wacky. caught over 15 keeper size smallies, biggest over 21" (5.5 or so) in a big sycamore just past Hog Heaven; one over 20"; three over 18"; and a bunch in the 15+ range. Bite was solid all day wherever there was cover. Sorry no pictures, but I have lost a good camera and a good phone to water stupidity!! Great day, no other floaters!! what a memory!! And, of course, all catch and release!
fishinSWMO Posted October 3, 2011 Posted October 3, 2011 Wow! Sounds like a great day of catching the biguns. All smallmouth? Jeremy Dodson

And, of course, all catch and release! We fished the Indian yesterday... I'm assuming you were the man in the kayak that we talked to on our way out. Thats a very nice stringer of brown bass!! We saw lots of crawfish in the Indian, even a hellgramite. I thought about using them as bait.. Good luck...
Members Kc River Ratt Posted October 4, 2011 Members Posted October 4, 2011 Wow, that's so crazy let me say that backwards.... Wow! Saddest part is you ate them? Some people fish their whole lives and never see trophies like that, and you ate them.

Guest Posted October 4, 2011 Posted October 4, 2011 I'm a witness to his Catch & Release... I shouldn't have used the phrase "stringer of brown bass" There was no stringer, I was referring to his fine catch, & Release, that is. Sorry, for the confusion...
Members mahto Posted October 4, 2011 Author Members Posted October 4, 2011 Yep, definitely catch and release. I haven't cleaned a bass in over 20 years! I always hope their memory is short enough that they will bite again next time! Mahto
