Catching their (B) Ass!

As many of you know I get "mad em" sometimes and when that happens I usually go on a pretty good tear.  I made a statement about 2-3 weeks ago and it went little like this...  "If your name starts with a B and ends in Ass, I am coming for you!"  You are about to see the fruits of my labor.....DONKEYS around!  

Have been taking advantage of the recent heat and great weather to exploit the Largemouth Bass to the fullest extent!  The bass bite has been as good the past few weeks as I can ever remember.  I have been guiding Lake Waconia, Lake Minnetonka, and Lake Mille Lacs.  All 3 lakes have been fire.  Here are a few pics of some of the better fish we have managed to boat on recent outings. 

We even got these young guns(Hudson and TJ) on the fish in a big way and they were able to catch lots of fish over 3lbs and a few 4lbers!  They both have new personal best bass.  It was great to see the smiles on the faces of these little guys and to know that our sport does have a future.  It takes all of us sportsman's efforts to pass along the great outdoors to kids like this.  Having them out for a full day of bass jacking helps the cause.  On this guide trip I was able to cater to a technique that allowed the kids to have great success.  

As you can see, "Uncle PP" was the big winner on this outing.  He managed to catch a few real great big grown ones.  These donkey's fell victim to a black 5" Big Bite Trick Stick fished on a small mushroom head jig.   On this particular day we boated 30+ fish over 3lbs.  It has been nothing short of a blast catching all these big fish that stretch the string so hard!  This is the start of what the last 2 plus weeks have been like.  

With the hot weather we have not been chasing the muskies.  Hoping if we can get the water temps down a bit we can start to get after the toothy critters.  Summer goes way too FAST!  Until next time, Fish On!
