Flipping for Buckets

[Pigeontroller]

Started Flipping again after years of not doing it...Man I forgot how much I enjoy it! Picked up a St.Croix Mojo Bass Flippin rod last year, can't say enough good things about it! Anyway, went out this morning for a few hours in my local Bass haunt...Put 2 nice Largie's in the boat, both came out from under sunken logs, classic spots in this water body...

 

 

First one was about 3 lbs.

 

 

Second one went on the scales...4.43 lbs.

Very nice! I love flippin for buckets. Have yet to catch a jig and pig fish this year. Caught a small one flippin a tube but that's about it! Thanks for sharing.

Nice going Dax, beauty fish !

Nice fish there.

Great looking largies.

 

 

does standing on an over hanging tree branch and tossing a senko to the outer edge of the fallen tree count as "flipping".

 

My friends think I have flipped my mind when they see me crawl out on it.

 

But dang, it's fun to catch one when teetering on a branch like circus performer

The jig bite has been hot so far this season. They are engulfing jigs hard. Good job on those beauties.

UGGHHHHH i have been doing a tonn of flippin and well doin pretty good myself. then i see this pic and i just neeeeed to go again

[bare foot wader]

jig n pig fish always tend to be quality fish for me....usually better than average and there's just something about making a perfect pitch to that tiny little spot way back in there, line twitches, hammerin back and pulling out a big fat bass....love it

[fish-miester]

Bare foot you got that right, nothing better then those perfect flips.. kinda like the other day skipped a jig ever so perfectly under a center piece of a comunity dock watched my line twitch and slammin the hook into a 3+ ending up loosing her boat side tho.. what a heart break. haha but thats just a part of the game

I think it's a bit like fly fishing for me....fish or no fish just making the perfect cast is pretty good on its own too

 

I'm a fan of calling my fish....she's gonna be right about there, perfect flip, BAM! right where she's supposed to be.....haha, pisses my buddies off
