    Got out and made a few casts this morning and hooked up with a nice river smallie. First bass of 2020 for me.

    Very nice! Where’s Pug??

    I figured he’d let me know I wasn’t the first guy to catch one open water in 2020. I think he’s more saltwater now though…..

    Here I am. That is not only the first fish, but a solid fish. Congratulations!

    I have to say I admire someone who can go out in that weather and bag a bass. I couldn’t do it because of my hand circulation.

    I tried the neighborhood pond about a month ago and it’s just too hard to fish and unsafe.

    I’ll try and be first in 2021 )

    Don’t forget to post some pics this winter… I need to live vicariously through you. We were supposed to be in FLA again all January but my wife got sick with a bad tick-born disease in August and due to the long recovery we had to cancel.

    Thought I would contribute something to this year’s bass photos – even if it is “the other white meat.”

    Rock bass are the true Rodney Dangerfield of the bass family, even more so than Whities…

    There is a very skilled guide on these forums (@joescegura) who told me recently that rock bass are a flaky, white meat delicacy. Ok… Sally and I plan to try some next time we’re up North and will report back waytogo

    Whities pan-fried in butter and Ritz cracker crumbs are hard to beat waytogo

    Caught a few the other day while crappie fishing on White Bear. The bass a are always so clean and healthy in this lake. This little one pounder caught my eye for some reason.

    My old man kept asking me to take him fishing so I finally agreed on Saturday for a few hours. Drove separate and he stayed in the back of the boat (he’s 67 and has stents from cardiac issues). It was quite a morning with that low pressure system coming in. He landed a 20 and 19 incher, 10 minutes apart. The 20 incher is the biggest bass he’s caught in about 4-5 years he said. In total we landed 17 in about 3.5 hours, mostly on a shallow crayfish colored slow moving crank bait.

    My 5 year old caught this one yesterday, but had to have her big sister hold it because it was too heavy for her.

    Edit: don’t know why the image is sideways and ended up with double pics trying to fix it, oh well

    This will likely be the biggest largemouth I catch all season. 20 inch prespawn that weighed 5.21 pounds.
