Not sure what this’n weighed, but @lunkerz24_7 fo sho caught a ball o’ buttah — looks like it swallered a possum:
Killah limit of the week goes to Ron Bruggeman Jr. and John Pearl who weighed the biggest sack ever in a Berryessa, CA derby: 41.80 lbs!! Anchored with a 11.5-lb kicker and a 9.98. 2nd went to DJ Webber and Chuck McCartney who had a 9.95-lb kicker for 26.97 overall. Crazy derby when a 9.95 is two fish off of biggest….
Not sure who’s who cuz the post is confusing, but HOW ‘BOUT THOSE DREADS! Told ya it was the next big thing!
Props to Gary Dobyns for photobombing both shots. Gary told me he was inspired by some of the world’s best llama photobombers:
> When bass inhale their prey, whether it’s perch, crawfish or shad, they all have one thing in common: the tickling sensation as the prey tries to desperately free itself. To create this sensation, Stanley has placed rows of tentacles on the underside of the Da Bug to fool bass into thinking they’ve got the real thing.
Derp the bass say:
News
1. TX: Another death on Falcon.
> Oscar Garza, 26, died of gunshot wounds while fishing on the lake, said Zapata County Sheriff’s Chief Deputy Raymundo Del Bosque. Javier Gonzalez, 21, jumped into the water to avoid the gunfire and was taken to a hospital and treated for hypothermia….
> “Two young guys were fishing out on the lake…over by Falcon State Park,” he said. “They were confronted by another boat…and it started escalating and the guys shot at Mr. Garza and Mr. Gonzalez. They fatally injured Mr. Garza, who died there in the boat. Mr. Gonzalez sped away and bullets were hitting the boat. He jumped off the boat to try to hide from the bullets and hide from the gunmen.”
> In 2010, David Michael Hartley was killed while jet skiing at Falcon. His wife was able to escape and told law enforcement officials they were attacked by gunmen on a boat. The Zetas drug cartel was blamed for the shooting.
Get your crap together Mexico. RIP bassin’ brother.

Recorded the classic comedy “Raising Arizona” couple weeks ago. Was watching it and:
Tip of the Day
All you need to know about the Whopper Plopper.
Tim Little of what sounds like “Tackle Bassin'” when he says it, giving his 2c on the Whop Plop. Best part is when he calls out the color “monkey butt” without crackin’ a smile, like he just said “junebug” or something:
Says he replaces the stock trebles with Owner ST-36s.
Quote of the Day
When I came on board at Bass Cat, it was a time in my career when a lot of people were shunning me because I was different and people thought I was over the top.
– Mike Ike-onelli talkin’ ’bout Bass Cat founder Ron Pierce. More:
> I was the furthest thing from the norm, and I will never forget how he [Ron Pierce] accepted me into that family.
Bassin’Fan also said:
> Mike Iaconelli was a free agent of sorts and looking for a new boat company. He’d been let go by Ranger shortly after the 2006 Bassmaster Classic as a result of his behavior during the tournament.
A little perspective’s called for on his “behavior.” Ike was shunned because he whooped when he caught a fish and yelled, “Never give up” a few times — on camera. Woop-de-doo. But 10 years ago that had never been done before in bassin’, and some folks got all nuts about it…like when this dude shook his hips:
