If you catch a big fish, make sure you post it so we can all see how big of a fish you caught.

That is a great day for sure. Once. Only once. I had an incredible bass day. Was on a small private lake down by West Columbia, Texas by myself. I caught 42 bass. None real big. Most around 1.5 to 2 pounds but 35 were on topwaters. It was just crazy. I had one fish fly 2 feet out of the water twice to hit my lure. He missed both times. The third time he got it and I hooked him midair.  That was the best one that day but all the others were great too. Days like that make u love fishing. 

Enjoy yourself. Glad to hear it is going well.

There's two places that used to be like that in San Diego, Barrett Reservoir and Loveland Reservoir.  Though I never hit the epic numbers (best I did at Barrett Reservoir was 35 bass in a day and 60 or so Bluegill and Crappie) some fishermen were claiming 100+ bass in a day.  Barrett Reservoir is also a catfisher's dream, got a 28 pounder out of there once and someone else got one that was around 50 pounds or so.

That's a helluva day by anyone's standards. Plus Cali Bass can be hogs so you probably had some big ones in that group of 35.

Yeah I look at a good bass day if I catch around 10 or so.  I need to go fishing with you'll.

Most of the large mouth bass in California lakes and reservoirs are Florida Largemouth since most of the the lakes and reservoirs over here are stocked.  There are a few that have northern largemouth that are native to California but they don't get as big as the Florida largemouth nor in my opinion put up as good of a fight.

One thing I loved about Barrett is it made you feel like the best fisherman in the world because it was so easy to catch bass there, you could have stuck your hand in the water and pulled a dozen out.  Hell, you could probably walk on the water because that lake was so full of them but I never recall hearing anyone catch anything larger than 12 pounds.  I know the ones I would catch were probably on average around 3 to 4 pounds, if that.  Barrett was all about quantity, not size.  If you wanted big bass, Otay Lakes Reservoir, Lake Murray, Mirimar or Dixon were the best bets, people have pulled out 20 pounders in each of those lakes.  One guy got the unofficial record at Dixon until it was discovered he didn't hook it, he snagged it near the dorsal fin which is why he never officially registered the catch.

Catch something like this Don't Post makes me sick

[Vudak]

A few years back during spawn I nailed 6 bass all bigger than 3.5 pounds within one hour, including a 6.5 pounder I had mounted.

You mounted a fish during the spawn?  That's just cold.  But if your state allows it... <shrug>.  Glad my main fishing state doesn't

[Bubbajj]

A year long fishing thread. Nice.

We needed to hear this why?


Here Steve, let me toot that horn for you next time.  Just PM me, and I'll write nice words about your ego.

Who cares.  If you don't like it, you don't have to read it or post about it.   

[LLogann]

Ah Grizz, you killed it.....  I was hoping Steve would be the first to see it.  You only halfway can't stand me, Steve is full-on would smack me if he could.  (Just wanted to keep him with ammo for it)   

Who cares.  If you don't like it, you don't have to read it or post about it.   

All kidding aside, the day I could land every of 23 sorties (err, 22 out of but a ditch is a land anyway) I'd be pretty happy about it myself. 

Steve...........   Have some fun out there and catch a few big ones!
