'Cause dilbeck asked so nicely...

This past Sunday I hit D.V. for a morning try at stripers and trout, in my tube.
No joy, so I did what comes natural and started throwing a 4"senko.
And I got my first official MAMA DD of '08. 27" of pure joy!

(see big bass pictures page 12)
To answer your question dilbeck, there are 4 or 5 lakes in the bay area which have these bigguns. D.V., San Pablo, Coyote, and Calero are the best chance for hogs.
 

I checked it out and now have to reattach my jaw....that is a HOGGY BEAST!
Congrats' Ken! did you toss the offering at a shoreline target or doing the drag around method? 
DD of pure joy!!  i didn't think LM's get that long!
thanks for the shots of ENVY!

Incredible fish!!!!

Still in awe - man that was a hog, pig, toad, ... fill in your own adjective.  BTW, I would have never guessed DV.

On the other hand, I fished Calero a couple weeks back and took a 19.5" in a back cove.  Although 19.5" was the official length, she "stretched out to 20" because it just sounds so much bigger.  Anyhoo, it is my personal best to date and I was pretty proud.  I could only imagine had it been another 7 inches long.

Job well done Ken!  Serious fish envy here.

It's nothing like it was a dozen years ago...now there are probably less than 6 fish like that left in the whole lake.
We have had days of 30 bass each with 3 or 4 DD kickers, during the peak month period, back in the good old days.


But yes it as definately a RUSH!

Congrats on a super-duper big bass!  How much does a 27 inch bass weigh usually??  Any guesses on that?

That is an admirable catch for sure.  Way to go!  What a HAWG!

WOW!  That's wild!  I'd also like to know how much a bass like that might weigh. Congrats!
