Ain’t right melons of the week!
|
|
Does @therealpikemike look stoked about this fish or what?? Hahaha! That’s 15″ and 2-08 lbs of stub-melon caught with a Bull Shad Bullwake swimbait:
Humpy small-melon growed up wrong…. Brian W caught it on a wacky-rigged Berkley Maxscent The General (gp) on Green Lake, MN — which I guess should be renamed Brown Lake:
This Namibia, Africa humpy was caught by Max P on a Megabass Vision 110 in GG illusion TN shad — which is weird cuz I bet hardly any African bass have ever been to TN. Max said biologists there say the hump is caused by a vitamin C deficiency, but never heard of any bass being caught on citrus fruits?
Johnny P caught this slerp on Green River Lake, KY with a Cabin Creek Tube (salt n pepper):
Finally, Ricky D got him an ultra-rare derp bluegill! That’s what you get fer Flanders-riggin’ man hahaha!

… Rooster-Tailed — believe that’s Joe Thomas, who I hear is now studying
kung fu at a Shaolin monastery in China:
…fished one o’ these, which here in NJ is called a Jersey Rig and I believe every time Ike’s cashed a check he’s used one (hahaha Mikey!):
…Bagley Balsa B‘d — talkin’ to you Tak!
Norman DD22‘d — why not?? Still killer: #bluetreuse

…from a Bassin’Fan post:
> “I got dialed into the wrong bite.
> “When everybody is flipping the same bushes, you have to flip 10,000 in a row hoping to get a bite. I hate that type of fishing. I’m a pattern fisherman to a fault.
> “I had a bad attitude and when you have a bad attitude you suck.
> “It’s ridiculous to practice 3 days for a chance to fish 2 days. At some lakes, we practice for 3 days on a lake like Cayuga or Oneida and beat the fish up even before we start. I’ve always been the guy who voted for 2 days of practice and letting the whole field fish 3 days.”
That’s Kriet in real life, man. He’s “on” 100% of the time…and usually doesn’t realize it til you point it out to him. He likes to say things like, “I’m serious” when he’s talking about anything from aliens to underwear to food, all in the context of bass fishing…somehow.

Someone found a bass in Alaska…
|
|
…and instead of being like this…
…they’re all:
Since they put out a Wanted poster, wonder if the sheriff and FBI are involved? Hey man, global warming = more bass. Just can’t stop it….
In AK they’re all about the salmon and whatnot, like this one caught by Larry P:

News
1. Updates on the whole MLF vs B.A.S.S. deal.
Kinda looks like what it is, not saying it is, but either way:
1. Word is the guys are getting offers/ultimatums from both trails this weekend if they haven’t already.
> Edwin Evers: “It’s the dawn of a new age. I have never been so excited.” [Never? Edwin you gotta win a Classic or something man…lol.]
> Tommy Biffle: “Everyone, BASS, FLW, will probably have to change things up, but I think it’s better for all of them in the long run.” [Wise comment.]
> “I enjoy [the MLF events]. I look forward to them more than the Tour events. It’s a totally different atmosphere. It’s a lot more fun. I think [the expansion] is going to be good for the sport as a whole.”
6. One of the trails — not sure which — is making their guys take this eye test:
All but one guy that is….
> More than 100% payout
> Additional youth and co-ed team prizes and a kids casting contest
Tim’s a-runnin’ out, take you only a few secs, link here. Tell him that he better put you on 2 like this or you want your $$ back:
Recipe:
> Light Daiwa spinning rig
More advanced dock-skipping gear:
In a Johnny Morris-owned building…. #foreshadowing
WTHeck?? Parish = county. How many fees are we gonna have to pay to do things on “public” land?
One is that TD’s are responsible for providing fish bags.
City will offer “$43,000 a year from 2019 to 2021,” which sounds pretty dang stout for that trail?
> “Everyone on the lake is throwing Whopper Plopper-style baits and Guntersville fish have become accustomed to it. I had confidence following behind boats and catching fish because I had a bait the fish haven’t seen….
> “I was able to keep the StutterStep around key sweet spots in the grass because you can work it side to side without pulling it back towards boat…while other topwaters were just reeled over the fish’s heads.
> “I put a feathered treble hook on the back to get the pressured fish to commit.”
Hartwell, GA/SC — Justin Tingen won it with a buzzbait and dropshot…don’t see that combo too often.
Label your batteries and cards! Duh — can’t believe I haven’t done this:
YOLOTek’s the folks who make the POWERSticks ( 53″ and 10″) that power your GoPro-type cams through your bass tub light ports. They recently sent out a deal about a limited-edition bladed jig rod and…sold out fast. Sign up in the footer of their homepage.
You know when you see the empty pegs in a tackle store and wish you had gotten some o’ those, well now you can!

Quote of the Day
“It’s not about how many tournaments you’ve won… We picked 80 guys who we think can help us take this thing to the next level.”
– Boyd Duckett talkin’ ’bout who got invites to be MLFers for the next 3 years.
Word I got was no one could cut the list down without fights breaking out, so Johnny Morris got Mike Tyson to throw darts blindfolded to pick the guys, and no one would argue with Mike (except Tommy Biffle) so:
