A few Fishusa members on the water

Got the pleasure of fishing with Hot Tuna (RJ) this morning, met him a few times over the past year but our 1st time fishing together. We took the early morning shift , hit the water @ 5:30am ... later on Santaman (Paul) was out there with a friend (the afternoon shift), they are still out now ... hopefully sticking some fish
 
We started chucking topwater from the start when this slob joined us in the boat  ...
 



 

She came in @ 5lbs 6oz  ... it was my 1st fish of day and ONLY bass of day ! If i'm only going to catch one i'm really happy it was that one.
 
 
RJ had monster pickerle crushing his spinnerbait all morning, they were big and very aggressive.
A little later in the morning he enticed this nice bass on a popper ...
 





I was hoping the bass would be a little more willing to get thier pics taken with us and really wanted to put RJ
on a hawg, but either way i knew we would have a good time out there. Shared some good stories and laughs
 
 
When we stopped and chatted with Paul for a few minutes they didn't boat any bass yet but found a few other species.
 
I got home and said to my wife .... i really wish i could fish everyday !!!
 
 
Hope every body has a great 4th !!!

    Brian you sure do play in the land of Lunkerville. Man There are some hogs in there as your fish and pic's prove. While I slammed the heck out of the pickerel they were without a doubt the biggest pickerel I have ever seen let alone caught...  It was a GREAT day out with you and many thanks esp. for putting up with that squealing reel all morning .

    Santa (Paul) , good to see you guys out and we seen some splashing from your way. Hope you guys got some piggys..

    I couldn't even tell you where Lunkerville is because Brian blind folded me then put me in the bed of his Tundra under the tonneau cover. I can say I got dizzy after about 2 hrs back there.

    Those ARE a couple a nice pigs there fellas. Wish I could have joined you. Worked 'til 11am. My next days off are Tues-Thurs. Get in touch if you wanna search for some walleye (that goes for any regulars on this site, including the new regulars.)

    When hell freezes over, I'll fish there too.

    Way to go! Brian I thinks ya could catch a wopper in a mud puddle, lol  You the man! nice bass. The way you lke the top water I would love to see you on the bayous back in Louisiana workin a frog along the cypress roots. think you would get a kick out of that as well. well my truck is just about fixed back up 4 new tires and a set of shocks and I will be fishing uop that way most weekends. hope to run across some of you guys.

    What a pig Brian!!
     
    We ended up boating about 3-4 LMB each.  Biggest weighed 3lb 4oz which Mike landed - overall an off day for lunkerville, but we enjoyed being out there as always.  The pickeral remained pretty aggressive throughout the day. Mike thanks you for allowing him to get a taste of what top water frogging is all about.
     
    It was good to see RJ out there with you.

    LUNKERS!!!

    That place has become the stuff of legends...  I think Reel Force got to go there once.  And I think a bass from that day ended up at the taxidermist.  Those are some real bass there, Genn'lmen!
