A collection of Large Mouth and Small Mouth Bass pics from NCKA.org

going thru pictures
these may have been my best 3 of 08 but its hard to tell for sure

hydro, can you explain what a duck eater is?

a bass that eats ducks.   spend enough time in big bass waters and youll see it multiple times.
Happened last year at the park in front of a crowd. women screamed and men cheered.
good times
not sure what I like best about that photo.
the doublechin lift or the victorious agent still on the hook.

haha - i know that they occasionally will eat baby ducks, just curious why you named it that way..thought maybe secret agent = baby duck =)

baby duck was the case at the park. muther duck had 11 SPLASH! (screaming/cheering) then there were 10. not that unusual of an event in the early summer. Lots of things get blasted on the surface.
I think that the "frog bite" isnt just that but a "small creature" bite when things warm up.
Im hoping to witness a mouse,mink, or baby otter get mauled this year.

My first ever bass at CL. Thanks Terry!

castaic blue gill

castaic bluegill

thats not lake castaic - he caught it on a "Castaic" bluegill (crank/swimbait) you can see it hanging out of the fish's mouth

He's right, but that's a private lake in Bakersfield.  I have a friend who lives there with some paddle boats.  Lots of golf courses and housing places have huge largemouth. 

Nice bucket Mouth Andy1976.

Thank you for the compliment.  I plan to bass fish more this year, when it's a little warmer.  I got so into going to big sur I forgot all about bass fishing. 

A little trivia - according to page-a-day calendars and incrediblefishingstories.com

The world-record largemouth bass might have been caught in Georgia, but twenty-two of the top 25 all-time heaviest bass were caught in California lakes. And, except for the Georgia bass, all top-ten record bass were California grown. Bass number eleven and twenty-five were caught in Florida.

yup but almost all of those big boys were in southern california.  no help for AOTY =)

Isn't it so nice of the DFG to plant lakes with food that big bass love to eat (read: trout).
