lol man was it a day for fishing today. used the exact same bait, stickbait (sry dont wanna get more specific ) and caught nice 12 inchers on the first 3 casts off the boat ramp. put my jon in the water (stratos is getting worked on) and headed to my usual spot at this specific lake. first cast, BAM 7 pound 12 ouncer. biggest bass i've ever caught. so after i throw it back, i sit down for a sec and try to catch my breath. next cast, BAM 7 pounds 6 ounces. wat a day!!! within an hour span, i caught the two mentioned above, another 7 pound 4 ouncer, a 5 pound 4 ouncer, and one right at 2 pounds. best fishing day of my life. my hand is shredded, not just my thumb!!

haha yea i had to take them with my phone so everyone would believe me...i dont have a cord to plug it in to the computer tho i may have to take you there sometime man, its not too far from here and not many people know it holds HUGE fish. people fish it all the time, they just fish it completely wrong. i cant think of 1 time i've fished there that i havent pulled a 5 pounder out of the water. if only everyone released big fish like that we southerners of indiana would have some awesome fisheries...

P.S. same thing with bluegrass though man, i cant EVER pull one out of there over 5 or 6 pounds. the place stumps me everytime.

Hey all,

New to the boards here, and a southern Indiana guy myself. Grew up in Newburgh, had never really fished in my youth. Now in B-town surrounded by Monroe, Lemon, and Patoka down south.

We are off to Patoka for our first tournament of the season. Thank god it's fishing season again...and I am sooooo tying on a Rapala silver/ black stick bait/ jerk bait.

I want some monsters too! Thanks for the tip!

the hard part isn't figuring out what lure to use for the big'ins, its finding the those **** fishies.
