With the full moon, I decided to sleep in a bit and look for the late morning bite. That part went right. But the target fish was hybrids and the actual fish turned out being largemouths. Since I couldn't find any fish on slabs or Humdingers, I went to the DD22 troll. Here's the results :

Fish 1 : 11:00 AM on a DD22 at 17ft. The seat is 20" across, so this was a 21-22" fish, I'd estimate 5 lbs (no scales, dangit).


Fish 2 : This fish was a double with Fish 1, but caught on a DD14. Fun little scramble to get both fish aboard. About an 18" fish, maybe 4 lbs.


Fish 3 : 11:30 AM on a DD22 at 18 ft. The net measures 18" across, so I'd say an 18" fish and maybe 4 lbs


Fish 4 : 12:00 Noon on a DD22 at 15 ft. This one put up a great scrap. The net measures 19.5" from the handle screws to the opposite side, so I'd say this was about a 22-23" fish and maybe 5.5 to 6 lbs - - was bigger than the first fish.


Then they shut off. Otherwise, the trip yielded 2 sandies and zero hybrids. But I'm not too upset about that. Hope you guys don't throw me off the stripers/hybrids/sandies board for posting all these pics of the wrong color fish. Maybe next time I can find the target fish!

Hey Launcher, thats seem to be normal for benbrook for me these days. I caught more LMB than anything lately. Last tuesday was best day so far with 4 keeper hybrids and 12 keeper sandies. And also of course few black bass. Im taking break from benbrook this weekend and heading to texoma tomorrow after church.

Excellent!! That is exactly what happened to me the last time I was out trying to get hybrids...but I was slabbing deep humps. Wonder where all the bass fishermen are???

they are wiping their boats down in the middle of boat ramp.... LOL sorry guys it was an open offer

i think the idea is to go out to BB and try to catch LMB....who knows, with the backwards luck you may get a hybrid lol

Hey, I was out there late morning and picked up 2 hybrids. No signs of any LMBs...where'd u pick up the LMB's?

Launcher-- I hope you cleaned those fish--we need to get those nasty things out of that lake. They are more bothersome than the yellow bass.

Hi All. It is a crazy sport indeed! I got these fish trolling the dropoffs and cuts out in front of the Airplane field. Sat AM and I was the only one in this area - - that's a rarity, but it was getting pretty toasty out there.

Speaking of boats/trucks on the ramp . . . . when I got back in there was one truck/boat parked at the top of the ramp, nobody in it. I think he was off eating a burger at the new burger place at the marina . . . . and so it goes.

Wow that must have been fun anyway. I caught this one the other day.

I understand that language being an IE lol. looks like your being pretty consistant with your fishing. love them fish!!
