first off, it kinda sucks that you can only post two pics. this report is for the 16th and 17th. went down to my buddy's property on the lake. we got there about 9 am on saturday and started to catch fish off his dock immediatley. caught fish consistently all day up to 15 inches from the dock and in the boat. we took a break and went to get a burger before we tried a little night fishing. had lots of topwater explosions in the dark but only managed to hook up on the one tiny one in the first pic, so that was saturday. today we woke up and made our way through the fog to a good point to start our day. fishing today was slower than saturday but i managed the pig in the second pic. solid 18 1/2 inches and fat. anyway, great late season trip. it exceeded my expectations. sorry no water temp or depths, i left my fish finder at home. all fish caught off of rapalas and jigs. caught and realeased as well.
P.S. how much do yall think the big one wieghs? still to cheap to buy a scale.

dang man, you're always catching hawgs! going by the length and using the formula that doesn't account for girth, it looks to be just about 4 lbs :P

I think Elijah & FM are pretty close - somewhere between 3 1/2 and 4 pounds.

thanks for the input fellas. i guessed 4 lbs, so i was close anyhow. this year i have yet to catch any bass over 19". although when i was at phillips i did see two big bass swimming together in shallow water that were bigger than the one i caught. they wouldnt bite anything i threw at em. smart fish id have to say, i guess they dont get that big by being stupid.
