Great group you got here!
 

Hey guys. I'm pretty new here, and just wanted to say "hi" and say what
a great group this seems to be.

I live in Wisconsin, so I don't get to catch those 15+ lb. hawgs like
you southern boys do. Yeah, I'm jealous......

I am a very serious bass angler (along with norther pike and sometimes
muskie). I think I'm pretty edjucated when it comes to fishing, but I
still love getting opinions, tips, etc. from other anglers. Fishing is
an on-going learning process, as you know.

Anyways, I look forward to sharing advice, stories and opinions with you
all!

NB

Great group you got here!
 

Thanks and welcome Bucket mouth! Yeah... these 15lb hawgs get kinda boring
after awhile down here and we usually just end up chasing the smaller ones
instead. My tennis elbow just can't handle the big ones anymore.

BTW: If you have any info as to where I can find one of those 20lb'ers in
Tennessee... I'd appreciate it! LOL You must be talking about the farther
south...

Welcome Bucket Mouth, jump right in and argue with anyone! Some of your
state guys are coming down to the Southern Classic, why don't you join them
for some of those southern hawgs?

Welcome NB, I am fairly new to the group also, and I too enjoy the
expertise that many on here share! Look forward to hearing some of your
fishing "startegies"! Size of the bass is relative to the area, so a 5
pounder in Wisconsin might compare to a 12 pounder in Florida....but ya
still gotta put em in the boat no matter the water ya fish, hu? grin

I can say..."You will not find a better group of guy to hang out with
than here."

Of course, I have never met any of them face to face :-)

I'm from North (west) IL and would be more pleased to catch a 5 lb.
bass from my "home waters" than any 15+ lb hawg down south. Of
course, that may all change if I ever actually accomplish either one.

Oh man, I would love to go down south and do some hawg fishing. Someday
soon I hope!

My biggest largemouth is 22=BD inches. And it was FAT!!!!!

Not sure how much she weighed. Anyone have a rough guess? I caught her
in the summer, so she wasn't full of eggs.

I agree Bucket Mouth! This IS a great group and I am a newbie here too, but
not to bass fishing. Been doin it for going on 40 years, even guided for
about 10 years in my younger, more foolish youth.
BTW, I'm from White Oak, Tx. 35 minutes from Hawg Heaven, AKA, Lake Fork.

I think now that we are moving it around each year, sooner or later we have
to have the Southern Classic somewhere in "Hawg Heaven Texas".

Kurt,

Where in NW IL are you. I have property at Woodhaven Lakes in Lee county
(will be there this Saturday) and have fished the Rock, Franklin Creek, the
Green River and a few other places in the area (mostly with a fly rod). I
live in Channahon (I80 and I55, roughly)

Mark,

It is nice to find another IL angler around here. This same topic
came up a while back and there were about a half dozen of us from the
northern half of IL lurking around.

I live next to the Fox river in South Elgin. And if the weather & the
wife cooperate, this Saturday I will be found standing thigh deep in
the middle of the Fox River.

I got out a couple weeks ago with the new fly rod. Water was
C....O...L....D! (35 deg). In about 4 hours I caught 3 bass (LMB) the
biggest about 12", but it was a bass, gosh darnit! I'm off this Saturday,
and plan to go to Woodhaven Friday night and try crank baits or jerk baits
for a while on Saturday. I don't know if the water has warmed up yet or not,
but last weekend, they had a tourney and the winning fish (one fish
weigh-in) was almost 2 pounds...Heck, we had ice on the lakes until about 3
or 4 weeks ago, what did they expect?

Email me sometime and we'll wade the Fox, or if you want to head a little
south, we can hit some of the areas around here. Within 15 minutes of home I
have the Dupage, DesPlaines, Illinois, Kankakee, Heidecke Lake, Braidwood
Lake, Mazonia Fish and Wildlife Area, Milliken Lake.....I still don't know
why people travel a thousand miles just to go fishing. I'm really a bass guy
at heart, but my real love is fly fishing, though I also own a plethora of
heavy hardware.
