      Nice rigs

      What in-line hooks do you use for replacements?

      Maybe so. Maybe not

        For big hooks, I always use BKK.  They are the strongest that I know of, apart from a super rare Japanese artisan maker…

        For smaller lures, I use VMC 7237

        or these Cox and Rawle...

          @Matty123 just remember that Largemouth bass is the king in the U.S. and the most sought after record fish. In Minnesota walleye is the most famous, but bass is still my favorite.

          22" and around 6lb (no scale). I know this isn't your giant ocean fish, but these are great fighters on the right equipment.

          till my favorite.

                Oh yeah. I’m part of the large mouth bass club. I just prefer salt  water….and what’s in my backyard ATM. Nice fish

                        I'm in Carver county in the west metro. Lanesboro is south of me (about 2 hours) near Rochester.

                            That's what I keep telling Paula, she won't listen.  So, I put this outside the room this morning…..(I don't think she's seen it yet)......That'll hold a few rods  😉 😉

                            Mmm… despite the fact that I walk past it every time I do some laundry... ::)

                            or a body… ???

                            Anyone wanna hazard a guess at whose body might well end up in it…?  😉

                                    First day Bassing this morning.  Car parks still closed all along the front, so I could not fish in my favoured spot.

                                    Of course I blanked, but a lovely way to start the day…..

                                        I went Bass (Sea) fishing this morning with Alex.  We caught nothing….....

                                        Just sent this by one of my fishing buddies from Kentucky......Last Friday...

                                        He needs to get his arse over here and show us how to do it....Oh wait, he was due to be with us two weeks ago....
