Bass
April
21, 2008 - Southeast Kansas Private Lake
- She caught this giant largemouth on Saturday 4/19.
It was caught on a small private lake in southeast Kansas. She
was using spinning tackle and a red and white Chatterbait. We
didn't have scales with us so we're not exactly sure on the weight.
I would guess somewhere between 8-10 pounds. She measured 24"
long and 18" around. Just wanted to show everyone you don't
have to go to Texas to catch a lunker!
Thanks

2, 2006 - Big Hill - A
19" small mouth bass from the banks of Big Hill Lake, last
Thursday (4-25-06) near dusk. Caught by Stacy Reeves using a
Storm 4" chartreuse "Wildeye" minnow. Except for
a few crappie, this fellow was all that was caught for an after
work run to the lake that evening. Of course there was also one
that got away.... and he was "this big!"
May 7, 2006 - Anthony
area private pond - On April 20th this year my oldest
boy (Tanner, 8 years old) and I were doing some after work fishing
on a private pond here in Anthony, KS and were just about done
for the evening. We were on our way back towards the vehicle
and casting in as we were leaving. He was using a 4" long
plastic lizard for a lure and cast in one last time. I saw his
pole bend and a big ball of moss, so I just assumed he was stuck
on it. I had told him to get it unhooked, until I saw all the
splashing. I knew he'd caught something other than debris. I
cranked in my poll, ran to him, but let him reel it in all by
himself. Here's the picture of the proud angler with his catch
weighing in at 6 pounds. I was very proud of him, and we've frozen
the fish and plan on having it mounted for him.
February 28, 2006 - Kingman County - Beautiful weather
again. Pablo and I went to Kingman Lake for some early season
bassin.
Water still a little cool but it will warm up quickly if this
weather holds. Caught a total of 3 bass on a 5/16 ounce blue
and black jig&pig. We had to work for them but sure was fun.
Tried spinnerbaits, plastic lizards, worms, crawdad cranks but
they wouldn't hit them. Jig & pig is hard to beat in these
cool water conditions. Looking forward to getting out again.

I went fishing at Lakepoint at Big Daddy Pond one day and
I, Christopher Castrisos, was fishing with a plastic minnow lure

so clean fish properly.

Anglers: Twenty of McAllen's finest fishermen brought their
rigs and reels to Falcon State Park last weekend to contest their
August Tournament. The big bass of 7 lbs 6 Oz was caught by Abel
Garcia (left photo) who had 2nd heavy stringer of 17 lbs 12 oz
for the two-day event. The heavy stringer was caught by Eddie
Kucia (right photo with a 5-10) weighing 18.01 Oz. The conservation-
minded club had reduced this to a three-fish daily limit tournament
in consideration of the hot weather. Altogether, 20 fishermen
caught 88 bass weighing 219 lbs 13 Oz. There were 6 fish caught
over 5 lbs and eight patch fish (over 4 lbs) weighed-in by Anglers.

June
8, 2005 - Southeast Kansas farm
ponds and watershed - June 3-5 - We had three different
storm fronts and all the rain to deal with which made the ponds
dingy but still caught some nice bass. Not much good top water
action. Plastic worms and lizards texas-rigged accounted for
most of the bass, in particular the 4" pumpkin and chartruese
Yum-dinger which caught this bass. A larger bass was hooked on
a black / red tandem willowleaf spinnerbait but came off the
hook as I was trying to lip him at the bank. So my son will never
let me forget this! He will have to get his own Yum-dingers from
now on.

by Larry Bridgeman - Just when you thought it was safe
to take your Brush Hogs back on the water, Charlie Ormand and
his Camo Brush Hogs were viciously attack by a 11lb 2 oz bass
today in the Marker 8 area of the lake on the U.S. side. It wasn't
pretty but when the fight was over, Charlie had the best of the
deal and, proving he was a great sportsman, released the fish
in the Veleno to fight another day. Barbara snapped this pictures
showing again the benefit of the great training I have provided.

Saturday started just like most winter days in Zapata, but this
was not going to be remembered as a normal winter day. Not for
San Antonio's SWRI Bass Busters that had their 2004 7.74 lb club
record bass caught here week before last, or for Jerry Campos
who shattered that record with a 14.28 lb fish from Falcon. The
heavy stringer also claimed by Jerry was 29.02 lbs. Nineteen
fishermen and ladies weighed 15 limits including second and on
weights of 20.76 lbs, 19.76 lbs and 19.58 lbs.

Hi--We took this picture today of one of our friends
with a big mama--11+lb!--that he took from our "secret pond"!!
(Not really, ha ha, he's a distant relative on a mutual friend's
small lake in eastern Texas-- but what a fish!)
Thought you'd enjoy---cheryl & Larry

Mar. 23, 2001 hi jim--
Here are photos of our best from last season. Both were taken
from our favorite little lake. Larry's fish ate a jig and twintail
combo, while mine ate a small black/blue spinnerbait with a little
neon green piece of worm as a trailer. Larry's fish was a little
over 4 lbs and mine weighed in at a hair over 5 lbs.
We
want to do this again soon.
C. Riley & Larry Ranich
Jan. 7, 2001 I'm not sure how much
this one weighed, I'd guess around 5 pounds. I caught it in a
pond near my house north of Lawrence. It was loaded with many
fish this size, but this one was the only one I kept. Mike
