Bluegrass!!! OH MY!!!!!!

[idbefishing]

Where is this Bluegrass place located??? Not planning on going there, just wondering

It's Bluegrass FWA, a bunch of strip pits near Evansville. The guys on here talked about it all the times. I don't ever recall anyone posted anything remotely close to a day of this caliber.

yea i would have to see it to believe it...that would be one of the greatest of all time

Ya, 75 lbs. of bass out of a strip pit in one day is pretty far fetched. It sounds to me that someone isn't a very good judge of weight.....or #'s!!!! C'mon J tell us the truth

Only picture we took was of the big boy. I'm out of town til Tuesday. But when I get back I'll post him. Sorry if you don't believe, but then again I'd have a hard time if our roles were reversed. There are some really good fish in there and I've yet to see anyone fish where I do on that pit. If you're in gander mountain here in Evansville look for a younger guy that works in fishing and ask to see his photo album of those pits. You'll be shocked. I know I was and had a hard time til the other day and what we caught. As far as 10# fish in Evansville I can name you three public lakes in the city with 10# fish. Regency club apartments, charter oak apartments and williamsburgh all have fish caught that big. Heath's buddy tagged a 8 and 7 in charter oaks just the other night.

i guess i don't doubt the size of the big one....I've caught one that big in a small lake that you wouldn't think had one that big in it. The number of others is what really surprised me....can't wait to see the pic. How do you go about posting pics on this site???

[Embrey]

sounds like your fishing buddy *****...no way you could drag me off a lake if that were happening...somebody better be dead...lol

I have to figure that out too, the pictures that is. And I don't blame you one bit for doubting me. If I didn't happen to me I would doubt it as well. Like I said in the first post, one of the best days I can ever remember. And Jerry caught the two big boys. I should of made that more clear. I guess from now on I'll just take a picture of everything big out of there. As for the guy that wouldn't tell others of his success, well that's just sad. I won't everyone to have the best chance possible at a day like we had. That's why I'll help/tell anyone with any question they have.

biggest i have ever caught out of blue grass was just about 5lbs ... he was 22 inches long. 2nd was 3 lbs at best at 18 inches. both released. every other bass i have caught has been less than 2 lbs ... most fish i have caught in one day i would say is only about 15 nothing prolly over a 1lb that day

You probably just RUINED your fishing hole.

I've been there a few times.......EASY to get to too. The one Saving grace for you right now is they are pretty far from most suburban areas. It takes me about an hour and 1/2 to get there from Lou Area, so I suspect most people are not going to travel there to fish...........I might be wrong.

I'd be VERY interested in the "fishing statistics" for these pits now......I wonder how many MORE fisherman will be there.........

HM......

I learned my lesson on posting this type of detail with regards to a few spots, and I will be hard pressed to do it again.......

One other thing........I don't doubt the numbers or SIZE one bit...........One September, a few years ago, I had an opportunity to fish a watershed owned by a sand company......My fishing buddy and I caught 100 bass before noon, and over 100 bass in the afternoon. We caught MANY over 5, a few pushing 6 and 3 over 7.....

I'm just saying........sounds like a fishing story, but I KNOW it's not.......This particular pit is managed by an ole boy to PRODUCE large fish. He has personally caught 4 or 5 over 10, and knows of a few more over 10 that have been caught there. AND only a handful of people have had the opportunity to fish it.......

I've been there 2 times in the 20 years I've been here in Louisville, and both times were similar in numbers and SIZE.

Hey no doubt, old pits are the real deal. My uncle lets me fish with him a couple times a year at a peabody pit in warrick county thats surrounded by private land. Its awesome, you can go there and catch 20 5lbers and a 10lber has been caught out of there before.. but thats not what were talkin bout at bluegrass. The lakes are good. but there not better than good and they get some heavy pressure. If anyone really catches a 32lb+ sack out of there, i will quit fishing cause i must really **** if i struggle catchin 5lbers out of there.
