Not bad for the first bass of the day (pic).

This one must be the other one's father. It fed a crew of 8 men!

I am a catch and release fisherman. I also cut the barbs off of my lures and flies.

That ruins them and you would lose most fish worth catching.

I enjoy fresh water fishing too, Trout is about all I catch where I live so it is nice to get salt water fish every now and then.

I love fresh water also but I live on the coast and I love the ocean.

Ok, this is my last post bragging about my catches lol I just really love fishing. Here are my 2 biggest catches, coincidentally caught them the same day. The left is a Flathead Catfish and the right is a Blue Catfish, both were roughly 20-30 pounds. But these aren't even that big, they get over 100 pounds where I live, but still pretty big for freshwater fish

Don't. Get some 3/0 extra wide gap hooks and some 7 inch plastic worms. Texas rig, throw weightless. Catch hogs.

I use Gammies only. (Gamagatsu). Hooks.

Same. 2/0, 3/0, 4/0, all extra wide gap, depending on worm or senko size, 5 inches to 7 inches usually. Slip sinker only when it's windy or there's a strong current, and the smallest I can get away with. Texas rig every time. Catch smallies or hogs. Bass just eat them up. Like crack cocaine to them.

If I was given one rod and reel type, one hook size, one bait:

6'6" medium heavy rod, baitcasting, 3/0 hook, 7 inch worm, color depends on location and conditions.
