Beautiful July Smallmouth Bass

[@Takeakidfishin]

Awesome brother, beautiful smallie. Looks like your fishin' partner was ready to land it for ya.

@@Takeakidfishin haha yes she's always there ready to land my fish for me. Luna is a great little fishing doggie. Thank you as well, this has been an off year for me. I'm banking on the fall run with the peanut bunker in by the millions. The past few years we hammered the stripers with paddle tails with the peanuts in.

@@GroceryBagAngler Just got to keep grinding, you'll get em'. I've been hitting the ponds lately no saltwater. I put up a vid the other day, frog fishing. You got to see the MASSIVE EXPLOSION I captured, NUTS!!! Watching it in slow-motion is even better. There are a few others with my son Josh and my wife, even a dog that I helped while I was fishing. I think you'll enjoy them

[@GroceryBagAngler]

I'll definitely check that out!! I have been extremely busy lately and not feeling well. I haven't put the time in this year as much as the last couple. ​@@Takeakidfishin

@@GroceryBagAngler Health first brother, I hope you feel better and try to take it easy.

[@GroceryBagAngler]

@@Takeakidfishin thanks man appreciate it a lot. I have all sorts of health issues from military service and I'm receiving care from the VA. God bless them and good people like you all! Tight lines brother!

[@Takeakidfishin]

Hey brother, haven't seen you in a while, I'm hoping everything is OK. If and when you get this let me know that you are good. I REALLY do miss watching your vids my brother. Hoping that you are well!!! Alright stay safe!!!

[@GroceryBagAngler]

@Takeakidfishin thank you for checking in on me, my friend. I've been okay and haven't done much fishing. I've been sick and getting treatment with the VA. I have some health issues from being overseas. I'll be okay though. We are patiently waiting for the fall run to start for stripers. Not a whole lot of peanut bunker around yet but that should change. Tight lines brother and I have to check out your videos, at least someone is catching 😄 🤣

[@Takeakidfishin]

@@GroceryBagAngler Cool brother, I'm glad that you are good. One day at a time as they say. Been mainly freshwater lately. My wife and I have been doing well, lots of bass. Lost a GIANT the other day, HEARTBREAKER!!! Captured the loss on video, OUCH!!! But went out this morning and got REDEMPTION with a 6lb.1oz. Video soon to come. Well brother I wish you nothing but the best and hope to see you STICKIN' some fish soon. Take care my brother!!!

[@Takeakidfishin]

Hey brother, hoping you're feeling better. Just wanted to let you know I posted a CLASSIC vid of a buddy of mine with a MONSTER largie from back in the day. She was an absolute perfect specimen of a pre-spawn HAWG. I thought you would APPRECIATE this bass. Have yourself a GREAT DAY brother!!!

[@GroceryBagAngler]

@Takeakidfishin thank you I appreciate that. I'm doing okay haven't been doing much fishing been camping at Myles Standish at Fearing pond. Real nice over there. I'll check out your videos when I get a chance.

[@Takeakidfishin]

@@GroceryBagAngler Cool, enjoy yourself out there!

[@GroceryBagAngler]

@Takeakidfishin I've been twice I love Myles Standish and especially Fearing pond. The bass seem to be stunted in there though. Would you know why?

[@Takeakidfishin]

@@GroceryBagAngler I believe, in my opinion, that it would be a lack of bait. Many ponds that we caught big fish always had a diverse food source. Native shiners, crawfish, bluegill, perch, frogs, dragonflies so on and so on. I TRULY feel shiners and crawfish especially are such an IMPORTANT part of bass's diet. Funny, my dad once caught a 4 1/2 lb. out of Fearing way back in the day, on a Jitterbug.
