Dude, that's not too far from me. Is this a public lake? Man that's a nice fish, you make it tough! Great job!

Tressbasser · August 09, 2017, 10:25:14 PM

It's a private lake, CP. Homeowners and guests only. I've asked for permission to fish there, but even I can only go when my friends are there. Their family, mainly the aunts and uncles, are very strict about the house. Lol, they really don't even want us drinking there, but since we were kids (young adults), we have completely obliterated that rule. There have been some late nights of revelry at this house. Wooohooo!

Great looking fish Tress.

big g · August 10, 2017, 10:00:14 AM

Great job Tress. You are certainly consistent month after month.

Tressbasser · August 11, 2017, 06:05:27 PM

Thanks, guys. Going back tomorrow/sunday

22.25 in
4lb weight
Popping frog near some pads

I knew it was a decent one from the massive explosion and I could see the tail waving in the air

Nice one and I bet that got your heart pumping.

Thanks! Yup, I thought she was thin for the length. Well, Fall is around the corner so maybe the temps drop a little

Nice fish Roberto!

Tressbasser · August 19, 2017, 11:54:15 AM

That's a nice chunk, Roberto. Love those frog fish, bet it was a lot of fun. Good work.

big g · August 19, 2017, 12:32:11 PM

Roberto way to go brother. That's a nice fish anywhere.

Check out this hawg from my little pond by the apartments. 6.31 lbs and 23.25 inches. Caught on a green pumpkin t rigged yum dinger. Fought really well, pulling drag and trying to take me in to the stick-ups. Tightened down the drag and forced her away. 35 lb power pro on a 7 ft M Berkeley lightening rod with a Shimano solstace 2500 (thanks FFF). My new PB!
