I love GoPro. I just got one for filming when I track my car. Great video!

Nice group of Walleye you got there! All of them look very healthy!

Congrats on the Bucket! Keep it up!

Great Multi-species day! Great fishing!

Very nice catch. Keep up the good work

Nice catches! Keep up the good work!

Great looking fish. Keep it up.

Good thing you didn't get taxed! Good price. Ive got a pair of the 2500s and I find they are perfect for finesse fishing. You wont be disappointed.

Oops, well I have already placed the bid so I guess i will just have to see how it goes with the crankbaits, return it slower i suppose...

Its fine, most of the baitcasters I use have a 7:1 gear ratio, and I have no problems varying the retrieve to accommodate crankbaits.

Cant go wrong with the Curado. The Curado 50s just came out, you might want to check that out as well. I can't wait to test one of those out.

Awesome fishing guys. Keep up the great work. It only gets better once the leaves start turning.

I wish the Curado201E7 came in a different colour then green......or does it??

Shimano Japan offers the Scorpion (Curado equivalent) in purple if that helps? haha.

I honestly like the color of the Curado. Its green indoors but once you go outside on a bright day it has a golden/orange tone.

I got a chance to try out the Caenan last week, and I was not very impressed. The bearings aren't as smooth as I'd like from Shimano, and I am not fond of the CI4 handles. I am a huge shimano fan, but the Caenan is not my cup of tea. If your gonna go Shimano, Curado is the cheapest I'd go. The other reels on your list will be a better buy. In my opinion, the Revo SX is your best choice of the group.

Nice Bucket. Keep up the great work.

Cant go wrong with spinnerbaits in your situation. Use a double colorado blade setup in bright colors such as chartreuse, chart/white, etc. Also topwater lures will work well in the morning/evenings as well as on calm days. Jitterbugs, poppers, buzzbaits create a lot of surface disturbance that can attract bass in the murkiest of waters.

Some good fishing there Steve. Keep it up.

Nice report. Looks like you had a great time out there.

IF that bass is one you caught this year you got the 2nd biggest on OFC at the moment then for largemouths lol. That is unless I have missed a biggin, 6lbs 13oz is in the top spot with a 5lb 7oz largie in 3rd(I'm in first )

 

Great intro and welcome to OFC bra,

MTBF

Hi Mike,

Yes that bass was caught last week actually. haha. Thanks for the welcome!

Welcome aboard, Cypher...that intro got better and better!! Just wondering if you still use those white cottony-looking gloves when handling the fish..? Being very friendly here, so don't take it the wrong way, but I'm thinkin' that they're bad for the fish, unless they're some kind of special fishing glove. From here they look like a basic gardening/work glove that would be rough on fish slime and not very good for anything you're letting go.

Looking forward to seeing more bass-tastic posts from you, Cypher

Hi Johnny,

Yea as I mentioned, this was my first year of fishing, and these pictures are somewhat in chronological order as well. I did use gloves for the first portion of my trips, but once I got used to holding them, I stopped using them, as you see from the last couple pictures. haha. Thanks for the welcome!

Hey all,

Just thought I would drop by and say hello. Ive been roaming these forums for a bit now and thought id finally come out of the shadows. I love looking at all the pictures/stories you guys have shared from your fishing adventures, and I thought id share a few of mine as well from this summer. This is my first year of serious fishing, so Im still learning a lot about the sport, but having a lot of fun doing it. I am from Mississauga, so most of my fishing is usually in Brampton - Orangeville, and Milton - London. Here are some of the bass Ive caught within the last couple months. Will definitely enjoy getting to know everyone here and hopefully we can do some fishing together soon! Cheers.

Some of the larger bass ive caught this year.

4.5lber

5lber.

And the best for last. My PB for the year so far: 6.5lbs.

Cheers!
