Happy 3/16 🥳

I promise not to post anymore creek fishing - bedfish for now (unless it's a new pb). 8lber on today's adventure. Prayed for favor with the fishies and it was answered.

Todays morning bite was tough once water warmed up they got a little more active caught probably 10 or so but they were mostly under 17 inches ..

Not a huge fish but definitely the biggest male I've ever seen & caught on a bed. Weighed in at 3lbs 9oz. Thought maybe I was mistaken and caught the female first (which rarely happens for me) but 5 minutes later I caught the female. She weighed in at 5lbs 2oz. Both fish took a 9" Zoom Mag 2 (another 1st for me to catch bedders with a worm).

16 1/2

Well after a morning of sitting in Juvenile Court, this evening I took a hour or so to hit a neighborhood pond. Also, I had remind myself I still got it... I was finally able to knock the skunk off my back and catch the first bass of the year. The Ol' watermelon Red Magic Senko wacky rig on a Spearpoint finesse hook sealed the deal and let me put the Habeas Grabbus on two of them.

It happened like Brian Latimer said... If you see an isolated stick, sticking out of the water, there will be bass there.

I had a team tournament yesterday, my dad and I were able to land 15.49lbs. We placed 8th place out of 165 boats at Lake Tawakoni. We caught 7 fish total, our 5 keepers all came on a different lure. Rage craw, Rage bug, chatterbait, spinnerbait and a flashy swimmer swimbait. I spent a total of 6 days of practice, 5 the week before and the official practice day (friday). I found a flat that was loaded with bait fish and bass and my other areas were just spots where I’ve caught a fish in practice. I just needed the water to stay high on this shallow flat (which it did). Looking back at it I should’ve spent more time trying to catch fish in that flat but we only got bit after 1pm in practice. This is our 2nd year fishing tournaments as boaters and we were able to have our first limit in a tournament as boaters. Was a great weekend and we’re ready for the next at Cedar Creek!! Our bubba scale is a little off so we were happy to see what the tournament scale said! We also had hail, 20mph wind and thunderstorms!!

Third bass of 2025. New PB - 9 pounds 12 ounces

God blessed me with a productive hike up and down the feeder creeks this evening. Caught 9 total with 2 really nice ones I found on beds in separate creeks. A 5lb 9oz and 5lb 7oz.
