I think this year could be another one of those bigggg fish years.

I've said it a few times already, I'm betting that we'll be seeing new state records for bass this year.

wow nice fish bronzeback

we got chased off the lake by thunderstorms tonight, they were biting fierce though. frogs and senkos in the thick stuff!

19.5 inches and just under 5 pounds - fat belly, almost looked as if she hadn't dropped eggs yet, but the gills were on beds already and the lake was bathtub warm so i dunno

[mojoputter]

Personal best for my 13 year old, 5.5 lbs. just over 20", In the first half hour Saturday morning he had a 20" and 2 18"er's...the old man, zero

Not a very good picture of it,it was wiggling to much for him to get a good hold of, he said it had pretty big teeth so he didn't want to hold it very long.

18.5" on a Senko in 3 foot of water in the slop/pads

19.75" on a Senko pitching docks.

Fished my first MN bass opener with my Dad. First trip targetting bass with pops in about 10 years. We did ok.. Fished a lake we never been to before W of St. Cloud.. No hogs like earlier posts (BTW hats off to all you guys with the huge bass!!) but the big one my pops caught is by far the biggest I've seen in person.

I managed a bunch of these and a few LMB that were about the same size on a variety of lipless cranks and minnow baits.

Dad said "You fish for bass while I hunt for crappie"... He caught this 19"er (it almost broke 20") on a 1" crappie jig & bobber. Go figure!! I wonder how much it weighed?

That's a nice smallie! Congrats for your dad I'd probably put it in the 5lb class but I'm pretty bad with guessing bass weights, I could be off by more than a pound either way.

It's kind of funny when you catch big fish on tiny stuff and vice versa. The last two times I went out fishing, I caught a crappie on a huge swimbait (defending a nest I guess?) and then the time after that I caught a bass while chasing panfish on tiny hooks and 1/4 of a nightcrawler under a bobber for bait.

Heck, whenever we go up to canada it's almost guaranteed that someone's catching a musky, but the thing is that no one in the family targets them. 90% of the muskies caught by my family have been on small white grubs.

Congrats again for your dad's nice fish, I bet it was fun to get to do that.

That's only 19" ???? Good God.

great photo. Nice fish. I'd say 4 to 4 and a half pounds maybe more.

[1eyeReD]

Yeah only 19" but my ol' man is a short asian dude.. Only 5'3".. I keep a scale on me but with LM & SM bass, it's usually "tape, snap & put em back".. Thanks for your input. I was wondering cuz it didn't look like that 4lb line was gonna hold if wasn't for the drag..

[Ray Esboldt]

That's no smile on Sled. That looks like his war face minus the paint.

Here is one from memorial day. I think it went 4.5 and 19inch. My phone took bad pics so the rest of my pics are on my brother-in-laws camera and will try to get posted this week.

[slopmaster]

couple from opening day, nothing to special but it felt good to get back at it. Biggest was a 19 with a few around the 17 inch mark thrown in there. Lots of action pictures taken since the girlfriend was along who gets kind of camera happy lol.. hence why there is one of me swinging in a fish.. First 3 on a pink soft jerkbait and the last one on a brown swim jig.

Here are a few from our Canadian trip a few weeks ago. Single fish was 19.5" fooled with a topwater popper, doubles were a 19.5" bed fish and 18.5" trailer nabbed with a smallie beaver and LC Pointer.

You are the MAN. Nice job, you and your son are always putting nice fish in the boat. I would love to see your photo album. Nice to see a smile, and great picture of your son and that pig smallie.

Finally got a few pics up from Memorial Day on Mille Lacs.

[Juan Grande]
