Big mouth on this one. Was between 2-3 lbs, but it’s head looked like a 4-pounder. Biggest of four on a slower, windy morning.

Biggest of six. Beautiful day on the lake.
It was a slow spring but an awesome mid-summer and fall. The two largest bass of the season for me came within days of each other at the same lake, both just short ...more of 4 1/2 lbs. Other highlights came within a three week period in July when I caught six 3 1/2 pounders (all exactly 3 lbs 8 oz) at four different lakes (2 at Presque Isle, 2 at Lake Arthur, 1 at Chautauqua, and 1 at Cross Creek). It was a good year, and I am already counting the days until spring. Thanks to my Fishidy friends/connections Rick, Mark, Jim, and Drew, who have taught me a lot about fishing in Western PA. It was good to meet them on the water this year.
Slow day, and I tweaked my back. I was lucky that Jim had some ibuprofen. This was the only fish I caught today. There were a lot of tentative bites. It was good ...more to see so many Fishidy friends on the water—Rick, Jim, Drew, and Mark. It was a beautiful day, even though there weren’t many fish. Also thanks to the generous couple, who helped us load our kayaks and gear.
Cold as heck this afternoon, but the first fish that bit was a beauty. Largest of 5 in a short, two hour afternoon session.
A cold front came through yesterday, and there was a strong east wind this morning. The bass were pretty turned off. This was the biggest of two.
Incredible day! They bit cast after cast. There was an hour stretch in mid-morning and another in mid-afternoon in which I caught 10-11 bass each hour (27 total ...more for the day). Most of the bass were between 2 1/2 lbs and 3 1/2 lbs. The biggest was over four.
It was great to see Mark Merlin and Jim Holland this morning. Mark was hauling in hawgs with his spinner bait. Jim caught a four pounder. I had my best day on Lake ...more Arthur. Twenty-seven bass, all but a few were between 2 and 3 1/2 lbs. Four were over three pounds. This was the largest at 19 3/4 in. and 4 lbs 5 oz. Awesome day!
Another good early evening bite. This was the largest of nine. All but one were on the outside edge of the grass.
A warm day and a couple of hours on the water before sunset. This was the largest of six bass, with most of the fish about 15 or 16 inches.
