Guest Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Got out to the Oakland Ramp with a buddy around 9:00 AM. We fished some areas that I'd been fishing and then ran to some of my friends spots. The bite was pretty good, and we landed 16 bass (8 Smallmouth, 6 Largemouth, 1 Spot, and 1 Meanmouth) and had 13 keepers. We caught a couple of Smallmouth and several Largemouth in the 3 lb. range. We caught the majority of our fish on jerkbaits and football jigs around channel swing banks. I only got one on the Rock Crawler, but didn't spend much time fishing it. First time this winter that I've had a decent jerkbait bite. My buddy had big Smallmouth for the day at 18 5/8", but I botched the picture of it, because apparently, I'm a moron. Also, the Largemouth in the first pic has more black blotches and the darkest black tail that I've ever seen. That bass also had a big tumor on the side of it's head.
Johnsfolly Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Sounds like you had a great time. That first bass is definitely a weird looking fish with that tumor and the dark coloration. Good thing that one of you knew how to work a camera.
Ham Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Good Grief Man, you could smile for the camera a little bit. You're dodging the awful UP winter at least Every Saint has a past, every Sinner has a future. On Instagram @hamneedstofish

I usually pride myself with being able to take decent fish pics. I blame it on his phone. Lol.

If I try, I either look like I'm taking a dump, or I have rabies. So, If someone wants to see me smile in a pic they literally have to make me laugh.

I Don't think I have ever seen the weather forecast in the south described as frigid. They'll be getting some good ice though.
