Huge Longnose Gar !

Fished for catfish again last night with Kyle at Mullet Lake Park boat dock. We didn't catch Mr Whiskers but I did reel in a large longnose gar, which weighed at 8 lb 12 oz. It bit down a piece of cut bluegill and had the 3-way rig tangled around his long nose. Sorry for not taking a picture but we kind of had our hands full releasing this beast. The sharp teeth on these fish can put someone in the hospital if your not careful.

Rig: 3-way rig
Bait: cut bluegill
Tackle: 1 oz bank sinker, 4/0 circle hook

Bowfin - 3 lb - Mullet Lake Park

Another night trip to Mullet Lake Park fishing for catfish. I had Kyle and Tara with me this time. Tara was very busy pulling bluegills out of the water, so there wasn't a lack of baitfish. Me and Kyle were using cut bluegills as bait for our catfishing rods. Using a 3-way rig and circle hooks, we casted out and waited. We were about to call it a night, then around 1:30 AM I hooked this 3 lb Bowfin.

Rig: 3-way rig
Bait: cut bluegill
Tackle: 1 oz bank sinker, 4/0 circle hook

Storm Wildeye Swim Shad Lure - Baby Bass color

Bought a pack of 3" Storm Wildeye Swim Shad lures in Baby Bass color, same as above. These ultra realistic baits feature soft bodies, lifelike wildeyes, and great swim action in the water during retrieve. They come pre-rigged with hooks, weight 1/4oz each and 3 per pack!

Me and my friend Kyle put the new lures to the test over at Bear Pond, in the Seminole State Forest. Kyle caught his biggest largemouth bass to date using the swim shad lure, we didn't have a scale with us but estimate it around 8 lb.

My First Largemouth Bass - Zoom Fluke White Ice

Hooked my first largemouth bass using a Zoom Fluke in white ice color. It was caught at Bear Pond in Seminole State Forest. I didn't have a scale at the time but my guess it was under a lb. Regardless of weight, it was a fun catch for sure!
