    Details: Largemouth Bass with a 5" Swimbait - white

    Yanked this gal out of 40 foot on a recent trip up to West Virginia. Slightly different fishery than down here in TX but we found 'em with the kayaks.

    Details: Spotted Bass with a 5" Zoom Paddletail, white

    Kayak fishing up here in West Virginia and the bite is super light. The sensitivity of these Manley Rods is making the difference.

      I have to agree I think it's a largemouth but anyways good looking fish
    2. Robert Field 0
      The reel is a Pfleuger
    3. Robert Field 0
      The rod is a Manley Rod, best rods on the market. www.ManleyRods.com
    4. Robert Field 0
      It had a rough patch on the tongue, the dorsal fins connected, and the mouth didn't go past the eye when closed. I'm 95% sure it was a spotted and my two ...more partners agreed...

    Details: Largemouth Bass with a Live shiner

    Went to my friends cabin on cheat lake and we had a blast. This was the biggest fish we caught coming at 23" and 6 pounds even •Eagle Claw Trailmaster rod With ...more an Abu Garcia reel

      That fish is fine if he is holding the back, it's almost little to no pressure on the jaw @big_bass
    2. MattLewis 0
      I know it was the same fish because it was missing an eye @big_bass
    3. MattLewis 0
      This was from a month and a half ago And I went last weekend also and caught the same fish and it grew and is healthy
    4. big_bass 0
      @MattLewis you are going to break that fishes jaw and the fish will most likely die. Hold the fish without pulling the jaw down.

    Details: Channel Catfish with a Hot dog

    1/2oz slip weight with a #5 circle hook. He hammered the bait almost instantly. Weighed in a little over 5lbs. Put up a great fight running under the dock trying ...more to tangle me up! My girl put the net to him first tho!

    Details: Channel Catfish with a chicken gizzard

    Not a bad size channel for this lake. Didnt have a scale or measure either. Decided to let him go even though he looked very tasty!
