nice buckhorn bass

Recommended Posts

i dont take alot of fish pics because i know what a fish looks like - but this guy deserved a few. i've caught hundreds of smallies on the buckhorn lakes but the average seems a little small, rarely over 3lbs - then this guy showed up! released after a few of his good side - should of taken him in to bayview for a weigh-in, turns out its almost a pound and a half bigger than last years buckhorn big fish winner. oh well we'll meet again...

just over 22" and a little over 6 lbs. wouldn't get much attention on erie or simcoe but i was really happy to catch this on lower buckhorn.

 

wasn't really serious about the fishin at the time - you know, no matching t-shirts or anything. just a stroke of luck i'd taken the kids out for a ride and stopped by one of my favorite spots....

HA! Cutie patootie!

 

Nice fish sir. I have fished buckhorn alot and weighed in some pretty good smallies in T's over the years but no 6lber, actually, don't think I have got a 5 smallie on buckhorn yet. Maybe this emerald ilse. What type water did it come from?

EHG got a nice Tri-lake smallie too a while ago he posted here.

Beauty Buckhorn Brownie Bud.

it was an open water fish over a large submerged flat rock surrounded by (like all things buckhorn) weeds. all fish came from 12-20 ft that week. nothing over 2.5lbs all week except for that guy. i find that the small panfish are everywhere but the smallies are on the edges of the rare rockpiles. got to find them!

 

fishing was slower than normal there were 2 significant storms that week - water temps were lower that normal for late august and the water was dirtier than i've ever seen it.....
