JKH, nice looking fish. Looks like a great time!

[Jim Hudson]

Thanks fellas.. Its been another phenomenal year here for fishing.. Especially for the bass.. 30 to 50 fish days are doable this time of year, and with an average size of 17 to 18 inches, you cant beat it.. Things will keep rocking good for another few weeks.. One of the problems for me.. Too many species.. Not enough time.

Here are a couple good pre-spawners..

Caught near Hutchinson 5/16, it was 38 degrees and windy when we went out.

Crazy how the bottom content, the spawn phase and the amount of time they have been up shallow can change it that much.

Here are some pictures from the National Collegiate Bass Fishing Championship that was held last week down in Texas. Not the biggest fish, but it was fun to finally be able to compete with those southern schools for once after struggling the past two years...

[carpmanjake]

went out fishing on a local lake, it wasnt long before i spotted a BIG bass, patrolling the shallows. i threw everything i had at her. but i could not entice a bite. i had only one thing left to use... my fly rod. i tied on my hand tied, gold tinsel minner. i cast out to her, and almost immediatly WAM! hooked up! but a few seconds later she threw it. i cast back out again, and immediatly WAM! hookeed up! after a nice long battle, i pulled in my biggest bass of the year so far, on the fly to boot!

23" long, 5lb 7oz!

i kept stalking the shoreline, and eventually i spooked a nice bass from right next to shore, so i walked out on a tree and waited.. and waited, eventually she came back, and i threw out the fly. WAM!

3lb even

i hit the end of the flat, so i doubled back. i noticed the 5lber patrolling the same area i got her from. but i kept going eventually, i found another beauty! she was sitting in about a foot of water. i cast out, and right when my fly hit the water, SPLOOSH! fish on!

21.5" and 4lb 9oz

Wow, those are some real hawgs, and a few absolute monsters, they are built like California bass! I only know of one lake that grows them like that, and if its the one I've been thinking about trying it, I need to get out there soon! Here are a few large specimens.

First MN bass of the season, 21"

My buddy that hardly fishes caught his personal best, a 20 1/2"er

My fishin buddy with a 21" off a WI lake

A solid 20"

20 1/2" monster

Another 20 1/2"er, what a day, caught 6 between 20" and 20 1/2"!

I'll put a few more on later, it takes forever with my ancient computer.

[Infishquinn]

Sorry for making those pictures so big, I thought I changed them to the proper size, but I must not have. I'll hopefully shrink them down next time.

[Craigums]

Infish those are some amazing fish. I would absolutely love catching smallies like that. I never catch smallies

[Aaron Carrell]

Got this fish last night off a deep weed edge.

20.75" and went 4lb 11oz. Was a rough night, but this fish made it feel a little better, plus I found a 30 minute pattern, lol.

[TonkaBass]
