r/bassfishing

Pretty brutal day on Mille lacs. Handful of major fronts blew through since the last time I was out and really shut these fish down. Saw at least 200 fish between the few schools that were still occupying the spots I had found previously, but was maybe able to grind out 15 bites from 7-4. Lucky to be able to fish a lake this special and be gifted a giant bite at random.

I’m not sure why these bubba rods never got popular, but they are some of the best rods I’ve ever owned. I bought one a couple years ago for $250, and now they are on Amazon for $129. They are inshore rods and extremely sensitive! They are slightly heavier at 8oz, but they perform better than my shimano zodias. I have 5 now. Just figured I’d share a recommendation at an unbeatable price 🤝

Sorry for the bad video. I did the best I could with one hand lol. My reel is acting extremely weird and periodically the crank will just tightly turn around but not actually connect with the reel to reel line in. The reel handle gets extremely tight after this time, and what I do to temporarily fix it is just pulling out line. I got it like this and it isn’t a huge problem but is extremely annoying. Does anyone have any ideas at all. This is the Kasting Spartacus II.

TL;DR wife caught fish Sunday, I caught same fish on Tuesday determined by stuck hook.

Wife caught this dink on Sunday after uttering the infamous phrase “this is my last cast.” It was her first time really fishing so the fish gods were listening.

I went out after work Tuesday to another part of the lake and caught the same bass, with the hook stuck that we couldn’t get out Sunday(was able to remove it this time)

I’ve seen people have this happen years later or months later but couldn’t believe it was only about 48 hours apart 🤣 wife and other family are not as impressed as I am though so I thought I’d share

Wife's first fish of the year she's always got to catch a bigger one than me.

In Missouri this is a giant to me🤣

And what type of gear do you use? I’m assuming spinning gear is fine.

Came in 1 week and a half ago and has put some decent ones up on the bank already, 5.00, 20’ biggest one so far💪🏼

Hello everyone! I have a question does anyones think this went over 10? I was doing a school project when i was in college and decided i would take my rod and make a few cast and landed this girl. So of course i did not have my scale with me. It still bothers me to this day! For reference i could nearly fit both of my fist in its mouth!

Caught on a black and blue jig on lake Chickamauga near Dayton TN!

This has been my best day of bass fishing since I started fishing 2 months ago. And ironically, the Zman bulletz did most of the heavy lifting. Even with ewg mushroom heads, the head kept catching weeds off the bottom. Switched to the bullet nose with the TRD, and I stopped catching weeds, and caught my second fish minutes later. Hookup ration with the bulletz was pretty good, as the hook doesn’t curve inward unlike other EWG hooks. So I think the bullet is pretty badly slept on. Or at least it was in my case.

morning dawn roboworm putting in work🐷

so I have this decently large spinner bait, and I was watching a video from NwTrailSeries and saw he had a similar spinnerbait. low and behold, he put on the exact 4” crushcity mayor swimbait that I have as a trailer in the same color. I threw one on here, and I was wondering if it’s too big or should I leave the trailer on. Fishimy upstate ny and the adirondacks.

Homemade rod holder w/ cup holder. Ascend Kayak Crate Bag. Kayak paddle, milk crate seat and accessories like pliers and net. Loving this set up!

Seems like some sort of hybrid but not too sure , caught in south east Texas .

Still only catching em on rooster tails. I’ll keep using what they’re biting

Never caught a fish on top water before (except fly fishing) till yesterday when I thought “fuck it” and threw a popper. First fish was this little crappie, but then I caught this 4 inch bluegigi? HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE🤪

Then a decent 2lber finally which tasted amazing
