Nice " Fatty " there –-
Kayak coming anytime soon ?

[Giles]

I've cancelled the Kayak.  My mate Rob who I normally fish with was going to get one too.  His girlfriend just found out she was pregnant, so Rob has other things to spend his money on (cots, prams etc, poor sod), so his Kayak is on hold.  I dont want to start Kayaking solo, so I have delayed buying the Kayak (got a full refund as it had not shipped).  I am sure it'll happen, just not as soon as I thought.

Anyone need a top of the range fish-finder  ?

So this was what the Bass had been eating…..

[Chap]

Seems to have a good digestion

[dinobarnesberlin]

Ah ok. Life can change in an instant. Glad to hear you got a full refund. I think congratulations are in order for Rob and his girlfriend.
Can't say I need a rangefinder at the moment, but good luck on finding a buyer.

Took my 17 year old out the other day… couple of mackerel and a cod.... the mackerel got fried for supper.

Wow impressive cod… big fish day! Congrats

Thank you, although that only counts as an ok one. I'd guesstimate 6kg. 10kg is when it's getting good.

Speaking as the head of huge family 

[neph93]

Yeah… a 10kg fish may feed them once 

[dinobarnesberlin]

Nice catch for sure

Lovely fish and a nice morning by the looks…  what are bass like to fight with? And will you be making supper with that guy?

[Giles]

They fight pretty hard, but the hits to the lure are amazing….This guy went back.

My mate has a really nice one about an hour earlier....

[neph93]

That is a fat fekker! Beautiful. Bass is one of my favourite fish to eat.

[dinobarnesberlin]

Looks like praying to the Fish gods helps

I only got 3 casts in before a monsoon drove us off the lake, but i got this big girl right away 20" long and weighed about 4.5 lb.

@neph93 Freshwater Largemouth bass come to surface when hooked and jump out of the water with their mouth open throwing their head to try and toss the lure.  This one jumped 3 times on the way to the boat and then ran my drag straight down under the boat before tiring.

@Giles is right about the amazing hits on topwater lures. it takes the "drug" of getting a fish on and incresaes it exponentially when they smash the topwater lures.

[Giles]

That's a fish…..
