I was greeted at work this morning on my way in with more pictures of monster bass. This time it came by way of a 5.8lb Spotted Bass and a 7.13lb Hybrid. Those are trophy numbers in anyone's book. A friend of mine caught both of these fish in the same cove within 20 minutes of each other. So, needless to say, I am getting fairly excited about catching a monster bass. I have caught two bass over 10lb, but never in a big lake. They both came from 2-3 acre farm ponds. I really enjoy fishing the ponds and have caught allot of bass in them, but I would really like to catch a trophy bass in a big lake. Of course, I know some great anglers that have won several tournaments and never boated a fish over 6lb. A pond bite and a big lake bite are two far different things.

I'm getting my trip planned to Lake Guntersville next weekend in Alabama. Thats about as Deep South as it gets, but only a few hours away from me. We are staying overnight so we had to find a motel room feasable to the lake. Now get this. I found a condo rental that is actually based directly in the middle of the lake and the thing of it is, the condos are floating in the water! You just can't get any more convenient than that. You dock your boat to the side of your condo. I'm fishing with my brother and a friend of mine from Buckmasters, Daniel Dye, neither of which has never dropped a line in the water at that body of water. We are fishing Guntersville provided the repairs are made from the damage we caused in the lower blog post. The hull of the boat is fixed, but the motor still needs some attention. From the reports I'm reading, fishermen are catching 25-30 fish per day and averaging a solid weight per fish. That to me is just 25-30 chances to have allot of fun. I am hoping to have some nice pictures from the trip to post in a few weeks. If any of you are fisherman, drop in a comment. Let's talk fishing.
