Time of year you caught your biggest bass.

My biggest came in June, 6-10. Traditionally the majority of my biggest fish and the chance for multiple big fish days is the month of October. I spend alot of time on the water in October especially on key bodies of water. I think a lot of guys hang it up after the hunting season opens. I know I am torn on many days in late October, I just set the hook into a 5+ and then see a flock of ducks fly over and a hear a rooster cackle a hundred yards away.

It's tough but I manage to work my way through it.

Always very late fall. I catch a few over 20 earlier in the year but I catch many in the late fall. There have been a few occasions where you'd get a strike just about every cast. Many would be around the 16" mark and 10% maybe would be pushing the 20" mark. Good times, except in upper 20 air temperatures constantly handling fish really can take away the feeling in your hand in a hurry. Those late fall feeding frenzies really can be awesome none-the-less.

my biggest last year was caught late June 20.5, but the biggest caught in my boat was early September 21.5...Looks like a real pattern here, I'm gonna have to take some extra time off from work in mid august through mid September.

I always think of early and late in the year for the pigs, but last year it was the dog days of summer for me. I think it may be due to the fact that I located a group of lunkers that stayed put in the same spot for a few days. My biggest was just over 22". Second biggest bass of my life.

    • got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out
    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
