Rich Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 My buddy Alex and I headed out on the upper grand to try for some smallmouth and walleye today. Well I rarely keep a bass but today I wanted to take some home. Didn't bring a camera out just our cell phones but i got a pic of big fish of the day right before she met the fillet knife, hegh hegh hegh!!

evster Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Very nice bass! Congrats! Where abouts on the Grand were you fishing if you don't mind me asking? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFSC Kevin Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 very respectable sized fish! but i'm assuming with it being so large and old.. it wouldn't taste too good? perhaps 12-14 inch would be ideal i assume? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clampet Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Awww, I don't beleive he even went near it with a knife. BBR prolly gave it a proper send off ala catch and release! He's jest pullin' yer leg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 27, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 Well I just finished eating that bass and no worms, tasted great fried in a little Rich Crisp As for where I was fishing well it was near Cayuga. Tons of fish landed but few of respectable size. Oh and the bait of the day was tubes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jediangler Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Nice smallie Rich. Tubes rule up in this area of the Grand as well. Nothing tempts a smallie like a soft shelled crayfish, it's gotta be their favourite meal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What were the colour of the tubes that worked best for you Rich.? I'm assuming the water was pretty murky,right?What's your choice of rigging?

Kirk Posted June 28, 2007 Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Good eating size bass, if you can handle a fillet knife and know how to cook, which it looks like you do, so congrats and bon apetit. I've got a few bass and pickerel fillets waiting for me from friends and family, fried with canned mini potatoes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2007 Black w/blue fleck was working well yesterday. Just about any color we tossed caught fish though. Chartreuse was the least productive. The water had a slight stain but was surprisingly clear considering the area. The fish were sitting at a bend in the river where it got really shallow. Every fish I caught was right behind a rock shoal. They must have been stacked in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
