Bass on JPP

[SAMBOLIE]

I recently found a spot that has been holding 10 long ear sunfish. Went there this am and caught 1 about 4 in.

I was using 1/32 jig head with TM. Bionic blade 5 1/2 ft with Trion UL reel and 2 lb SOS.

Swapped bait to a Berkley gulp black/red fleck hellgrammite.

First cast caught a LM that was approximately 24 in. This was in a rocky area and water is shallow for 10 ft or so out from shore. Due to the way it fought I thought I had a good cat.
Lots of fun with 2 lb line and running across rocks in the water to keep up on a couple of drag pulling runs.

24" how cow batman my 8.3 on my wall is 24 did you not get a pic of her?

Good job on the 2 lbs. bet that was nerve-racking.

No picture. Sure hope Merv does not see this. :)
I do not have a smart phone. I tried to get a picture on my cell phone but was in a rush to get the fish back in the water and only got a portion of the fish but a beautiful shot of the lake.

Randy, I guess technically the larger ones are Redbreast (sometimes called long ear). Have also caught some very large Longear Sunfish. This from looking at the TWRA pictures. I always classed both as Sun Fish.

I seen it Ott.

And you know the old saw....no picture? It didn't happen!

And the term "smart phone" refers to the fact you gotta have some "smarts" to use one.......save your money and don't bother getting one.

Made for a nice story that you can tell your grandkids when they come to visit you in the old folks home next week. I especially like the embellishment where you "ran", gave me a good chuckle. My, but you do have a fertile imagination.

They are letting you have visitors again, aren't they? When do you get your next "leave"? I need to know so I don't bother going to the lake that day. I like to give your visits a coupla days to "evaporate" the juju hex you bring with you.

Merv, I caught this one myself. It seems that you always have to have another tagging along to show you how to catch a fish.
IMO the smart people only use a phone for conversing. I do not like playing on the phone. In fact I almost quit school because I did not want to waste time playing during recess. Fortunately I do not have to have an app to show me how to do everything. I am also saving money by not using a smart phone. I admit it is a little tough having to use this rotary dial cell phone.
Maybe ran was an exaggeration. However I was walking at an accelerated pace and jumping on and over big rocks. Strange how I normally would have tripped over them.
I hope the institution does not find out about me using sharp hooks. They advised my wife to keep sharp objects locked up when I am out on leave. Would you like me to help you filet some fish?
I may buy a kayak and go to Center Hill with Jimmy while he is working nights next month. Mike can"t go and I feel sure that I could give a youngster like him some good advice.
