[QUOTE="Dbllunger, post: 4624323, member: 2494"] So I headed out for some late afternoon striper fishing yesterday. I knew the water may not be perfect but I figured I could make it work. Now you all know I never reveal my striper waters even though I think most of you know where it probably is. Lets just say the water is very cold. Like 59-63 all summer long. In all the years I and my friends have fished these waters we have seen maybe 2 largemouth bass and they have been very small. Never one over 1.5 pounds probably. Well yesterday as I am cranking back my 7" custom redfin I made, wham! At first I though "little rockfish" but as I started cranking I got a glimpse of it in the clear water and said "What the he##?" It was a largemouth bass. Very bizarre and unexpected. It weighed in at 6lbs on the boga grips. My friend that was there has been fishing that river for close to 60 years and said he has never seen one even approach that size. Anyway we snapped a few quick pics and released that rascal for another day. Never know what you are going to see fishing. Also the rockfishing wasn't bad. I managed 4 fish yesterday but nothing big. They were 18, 14, 12 and 12 pounds. My buddy caught one about 12 pounds. Good numbers just no big fish. [/QUOTE]
