 I caught this one last Sunday. Took the picture because of all the spots on the bass. I released the fish not knowing that it is an invasive species that have some how got in the lake. An Alabama bass. I have never heard of an Alabama bass until I saw the posting at the boat ramp. I was fishing Leesville Lake in Virginia. |

This past Sunday, my fishing buddy Mike and I tried an 800-acre lake located in Worcester and Shrewsbury, Massachusetts for the first time. We caught some largemouth bass, some small smallmouth bass, and several small rock bass, a species I had not caught before and didn’t even know could be found in this area (bottom picture).   |

My buddy Al and I were on the water at 5 AM yesterday to try to beat the heat and humidity and get some fishing in on Indian Lake. It was hazy and humid, and we would have liked more of a breeze, but the fishing was very good. I grabbed a 5 pound plus largemouth on a popper pretty early, and Al landed a few nice bass too.   |

My son went fishing today and caught 2 things! Time to go to the ER (for his finger, not the fish).  |

Quote:Originally Posted by HeinzDad Do you mean that you'd push it further in until the barb comes out the side of the finger? I'd actually go to urgent care or the ER as well, unless the guy at the local bait shop had experience and was willing to give it a try. I have no experience with removing a hook that deep. I did watch a couple youtube videos that make it look easier than it probably is. |

| When I was in my late teens (long, long ago), me and two friends thought it would be fun to go night fishing with three guys in a 12-foot boat. After it got dark (and after a few beers), I was hit in the back of my head with a Musky Jitterbug. One of the treble hooks made its way through my baseball cap (which I was wearing backwards for some reason) and into my scalp past the barb. A few hours later I was sitting in an ER waiting room, wearing a backwards cap with a giant plug on it (and by that time, the neck of my tee shirt was red from blood dripping down the back of my neck). Eventually they tried to cut the hook (didn’t work as it was way too thick - and it hurt like hell when he tried it). So the guy used a scalpel to cut it out and stitched me up. He handed me back my buddy Al’s plug which was none the worse for wear and tear (the cap and tee shirt were ruined) and we ended up getting home after 1 AM. Thankfully it was summertime and my parents were on vacation at the time. | ||

| Things went as I thought. Basically, they numbed it up, cut off the top of the hook, and pushed it on through. Much easier than cutting it open, removing the hook, and stitching it up. I'm sure he'll be back out there in no time. He LOVES going fishing. Here are a few more of his catches.     |

Was able to get out for a few hours this past weekend. The foliage was awesome, but unfortunately the fishing was very slow. Only a couple of bass and a few pickerel for the effort. My buddy Mike caught the biggest bass of the day. Still a very nice day.    |

Not exactly fishing weather, but I managed to catch one largemouth bass this past Sunday. Temperature was in the low 30’s (degrees Fahrenheit, not Celcius) early morning, but climbed to the low 50’s. Water temperature was 44 to 45 degrees. The fingerless gloves helped a little. |

| Just like Twain said, if you don’t like the weather in New England now, just wait a few minutes. Went searching for safe ice a couple of weeks ago, found 3 to 4 inches at a few small, secluded ponds on a Saturday scouting mission. Tried to go fishing the next day, and every bait shop with 30+ miles was out of live bait (shiners). So we wait two weeks, and last weekend went out in a john boat on a small pond. It had gotten up to around 60 degrees the day before, and got close to 50 while we were on the water. I caught 6 pickerel, and my buddy Al caught 5 pickerel and a largemouth bass. All fish were caught on suspending shallow-diving jerk baits. Here’s a picture of Al’s bass.  PS - Colder this week (plus 8 inches of snow Tuesday), with lows mostly in the 20’s and highs near 40. Unlikely to do any fishing this weekend. |

The weather has been all over the place. Today it went up to 60 degrees! So me, Al, and Mike went fishing for largemouth bass. The water temperature was 39 degrees when we started, but it warmed up to the low 40’s. We caught 8 bass between us, all on jigs.  |

Was able to get out on a small pond for a few hours yesterday. Cold (upper 40’s) and windy conditions, but we still managed to grab about ten small largemouth bass between us.  |

| @Nearmint67 - I am leaving my travel fishing rod home during the Scotland trip. But I am doing my fishing trip up North to Squam Lake in May with a bunch of my fishing buddies. I will definitely post some pictures from that trip. | ||
