My best bass

[Shadow11]

Finally pulled my cheapo plastic boat out from behind the house, and went today for the 1st time this yr. This is probably my personal best bass. It's definitely my best on public water. Northeast ga.

I'm still kind of new to bass fishing. Caught 5 today in about 2 hours. This one in pic was the last/best one. I fished 3 hours after this one, and never got another bite. How do u explain that?

Some of my best fishing times were in a Sportsman's III plastic boat much like yours.
Sometimes you just can't beat the portability and low draft of a boat like that.

Congratulations on a good fishing trip.

Equipment doesn’t matter.
Having fun does.

Looks like someone caught you on trail camera! Nice fish

Once you catch a big one like that just stop for day cause you can’t concentrate and won’t get any more bites.

What a belly on that bass! Where I fish the bigger bass are pretty streamlined. Young ones might be well fed looking, but not the older ones. Somebody on here might have an answer for that. What did you catch it on if I may ask?

Wow. Great fish!

Two guys were in one on a small lake I fish. One was a pretty big guy and the other was average size and there was enough room for them & their gear. Very handy & efficient boats!

Pumpkin senko worm. Yeah caught 5 and missed a few, but all were on the east side of the lake. No bites on the west side for some reason. Caught 3, including this one, and let one off that were all beside of a dead tree in the lake. Then fished about 20 other trees with zero hits lol.

Lol. I used my front camera on my phone which i don't normally do. I didn't know it did that.

Yeah i actually love this thing. Its a bass raider pontoon. Got it last year at academy for 750.00. Picked up a good lithium battery and a little 5 hp trolling motor. Does great in small lakes. The best part is it fits perfectly in the back of my little truck, and no boat ramp needed. I can drag it around easily, and even with my fat older brother in there it still gets around pretty good .

I think I might have screwed up though with my battery. I left it in my garage over the winter, but it was only half charged. I only got about 5 hours out of it yesterday. A buddy with a lot more experience told me you are supposed to store them with a full charge. Luckily i bought a little 5 lb lithium that i keep in my duffle bag in case this happened. I'd probably still be paddling if it wasnt for that.

Mine was just about like that in every way except it didn't have the beaver tail on the front end.

Shoot yeah! That is a full grown one!

Nice bass! I had one of those little boats with a 3HP Minn Kota back in the day. Caught a ton of fish out of that little thing .

Congrats! Red letter day.

Love that boat, but that’s a MONSTER BASS! Woohoo! Great catch and who cares if it’s the only bite you get!
