Shooting fish in a barrel. We fished for 45 minutes today, having no crawlers. Senkos on big 3/0 worm hooks.

Here are pictures of the smallest and largest of the afternoon. Buck got his new PB LMB, right at 18 inches and girthy.

We caught 8 total in 45 minutes (heat of the day)-- all varying in size between these two. Fun times. =)

Buck's bass went aerial on him twice. That was a show.

Hooked on Bass yet?

Not really, but Buck loved it. We were hoping to get some catfish to strike those Senkos.

The only one that really battled was the big one. The 9-16 inchers rolled over and logged up to shore--- we were using 6 lb mono.

Buck had a blast on the big one though. I'd rather catch cats, but it was a fun time, for sure.

I'm with ya Owen...bass way over rated...dumber big sunfish...lol...

 

[Opry99er]

I gotta say, those Senkos are about worthless after 2-3 fish... The first one lasted 3 fish, the second 2 fish, and the last one 3. Of course, after the big one, that last one was tattered to ****... Managed one more small one after that on that ripped up piece of plastic, but DAMN.

They're more expensive to use than buying crawlers every trip!

Thanks fellas. I have some nice Sebile A.T. worms that look very promising... I'll give those a shot this week.

The product demonstration videos for the A.T. are pretty slick!

Finally you got some bass!! But yea bass don't really fight hard, especially compared to cats and gills

 

[pistoldog]

I see Buck's still catching the largest fish !


Nice Opry!

 

[Opry99er]

Yep... I caught 6 to his 2, but he had the upper hand on size.

And 18" is a conservative estimate. Because it was such a rushed and unplanned outing, I did not have my tape with me.

I look at this pic compared with the nice catfish he caught (which WAS measured) and I'm starting to think... This bass might have been close to, if not beyond, a 20 incher?

Owen a dollar bill is 6 inches...so if you dont have a tape it works and great in a pinch...

 

[Opry99er]

Good tip. I always have my cheap scale/tape combo with me, but for some reason, I forgot it this time.
