Should be, key word, "Should"

Buzbait88 · June 13, 2009, 09:17:10 PM

wow, that sucks. Let me know when it gets good, I'm going to save up some gas money for when it does.

On a side note, the fishing in MN was a great. Bass had just spawned unfortunatley. I caught a 20.5" fish on a buzbait and I could fit my fist in its mouth. I threw it on the scale and it weighed 3lbs

It should have easy been a 5lb fish, but it must have just spawned. It looked almost stunted, with a huge head and skinny body.

They were hitting good here Monday and Tuesday. Caught a 12# Flathead on a VibraShock

Buzbait88 · June 13, 2009, 10:07:32 PM

12#!!! thats pretty big. I'll have to get out sometime this week and see whats changed out there. Whats the river like. I was reading about the elites and looked at some pics and it almost looks flooded down there and really muddy with some gunk floating.

Believe me Lip, I thought of you when I landed it

Steve took a pick of me with his finger over the lens but I've got one of him $:-\$ with it as well. He wanted to send a pic to his daughter so I let him pose with my Kat

Here it is.

Lipripper · June 16, 2009, 07:57:02 PM

Yelp that sure is a pretty looking whiskered Bass to add to my collection

Just a little pup but it will get bigger unless you made steaks out of him, Taste great

GotstaFish · June 17, 2009, 09:54:19 AM

Still swimming Lip

Buzbait88 · June 17, 2009, 10:32:21 AM

Nice kitty cat Karl. I tried for some cats last night and no luck at all. Caught a walleye and a carp on worms and nothing on shad. Bass fishing was not good either. caught about 5 and 2 northerns, but none were big enough to keep. Crazy thing was that I caught 1 that was just fat as could be, I mean like I thought it was going to burst. Then another couple of casts and I catch a small one that was all beat up like it was spawning.

You really think those fish were still spawning or was 1 just really fat and the other just unlucky.

I thought we might just turn this into a catfish post

I got my PB cat today on a crankbait fishing around weed clumps $:-\$ I was at lake Carlton and thought I had a musky for about 2 min. This cat was 26" long and 19" around. I don't know how much it weighed.

I did manage to catch 19 bass though, combo of cranks and frogs. Had a ton off blows on buzzfrogs and all the bass did was eat a leg off

I used up 9 buzzfrogs in about 20 min.

Nice looking kat you got there

Glad you were able to catch some bass too

Dang eye'm still waitting for my first topwater (FROG) strike

GotstaFish · June 23, 2009, 12:04:50 AM

the topwater bite is really heating up with theses warm nights and hot days

tennispro · June 23, 2009, 07:31:12 AM

We got 8 on topwater last night. Two on a mossboss and the rest on buzzfrogs. They were still way back in the slop at 7:30 last night I was

just trying to fish. I forgot how bad that is, but you forget when they start blowing up

Dug · June 23, 2009, 08:46:05 AM

Sounds like the Mississippi is heating up well, and a week after the elite series

Buzbait88 · June 23, 2009, 09:10:39 AM

you guys suck. I decided to save gas and hit 14 around clinton yesterday at about 4-8:30. I had 1 bass on a vibrashock that came off, my GF lost 1 on a spinnerbait. I caught 2 nice size pike and a dinky pike and thats it. Definately going to 13 next time I go, maybe tonight, who knows.
