After talking to joe yesterday about a place to fish we decided to go to a new spot on a new lake,im sure some know where im talking about, we got there at 5am, the wind was blowing pretty good and it was 45 but felt much colder, at 6am we got out of our cars and scouted the area, and had our spots picked out, and started setting up, we took out time on this lol. about 7.30-8 a guy shows up and walks down and says we are in his spot. im thinking ok there is a mile of bank space, just join us. he tells joe that we are in his spot and that he cant hit is spot with the wind blowing like it is. umm ok whatever, then he leaves. a little while later a friend comes by and tells me the weeds are bad where we are at, so i test them out and sure enough they are, so me and joe pack up and move 40 yards down the bank, i start checking for weeds, very very few. after i tie on my shock leaders, i make my lemon size method balls and put them out 80-90 yards, and the waiting begins. after 3 hours os silence i get a run and it was catfish about 5 pounds, then about a hour later i get a short run, i thought catfish but when i set into it, it was heavy.turned out to be a 37 pound buff. later on joe gets a run and for him it was a new pb buff at 25. he was using his new setup which i gotta say the rods are very nice and a couple times he was out casting me with his rods. i was happy to see him get a pb on his new stuff. we fished hard thru the day and i managed a 36 buff, a 27 buff and a good one at 41 and also a carp at 11 pounds. i had a great time joe grats on the pb, post your pics when you can.

here is my 2 from my phone, my 37


and my 41. which got stuck in the wall of weeds and took a bit to get out.

Nice buffs Chris . Congrats Joe on your new PB.

Chris, I am surprised that you guys did not appologize profusely to the guy for being in "his" spot. Should have packed and moved immediately...

Nice Fish and a good report. Glad to hear your trip turned out good. Congratulations on the PB.

Ok guys here's all the pics from the trip.The new set ups work great.

I say those pics are photo shopped! Should have painted you in some more hair too! LMAO! Great fish, glad y'all caught.

This "My" swim at "My" lake mentality that some people are suffering from would be comical, if it wasn't so sad.

You're right Auggie they have been photo shopped.We decreased the size of the fish so you wouldn't feel too bad...lol.
It was good seeing Mike,Auggie,Kevin.Good meeting Chris Mund for the first time as well.
As fior the " My Swim" thing,we wouldn't have set up in the first swim had we known someone was going to be fishing it.Turned out we didn't fish it after all and had less weeds to deal with.So all turned out good.

You dogs...while I'm moving you guys are out catching pigs...

Nice fish guys, grats on the pb Joe!

Again Super Fish and a Super Job! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the grats guys.Seems every time Chris and I have fished as of late I end up with a new PB.

must be my mojo.....

Congrats guys!

it was good meeting you joe, congrats on the new PB. thats awesome!

the guy talking about it being "his swim" was just giving you guys a hard time. he knows its not his, its just the only place he like to fish.

way to go guys!! Looks like a great session!

Well the same guy gave some other people greif today bout it being his swim again. The guys he talked [censored] to are new to carp fishing. They wanted me to be sure and thank him for his warm hello. After all we only luck into fish right. Tell him he can submit HIS record on HIS lake. Maybe he won't be so butthurt.

Heckuva Session!!

Very well done.

dang...... what does he do get mad cause people show up to fish that weed infested spot(jk) then text all of his friends and cry? whats he gonna do in the summer when that place is packed with people?

What if you had dumped a ton of bait and waited to fish a spot, then cme to find out that is is taken...two days in a row?

Bait costs $$



Do you have the right to do it, sure. The guy didnt assault anyone right? He can be pissed if he wants.

Being pissed is fine. Talking [censored] bout ppl that had nuthing to do with it is not. I didn't take his swim nor did I tell anybody to take it. If he was prebaiting then he needs to use his big boy words and say that. I'm sute they would have moved if he wouldn't have approached them wit1h a " this is my lake attitude".

I can agree with that. if explained, I think everyone on here would have gladly moved.

Chris in order to prevent future confusion over who's spot is where, I took the liberty this morning of spray painting the name Buffaloman in flourescent orange on the bank where you busted that 41.

Ted we offerd the guy his spot. Im not out to steal anyones spot and reap rewards. There was a hole bank open there we could have all fit there with no problem. he said no and left.

In the summer the place is unfishable with all the weeds

I gotcha. I know that you would have left if he verbalized it. I dont doubt that one bit. You are a stand up guy.

I hope to see you out there one day. I love that lake.

Chris I wouldnt worry about it in the least.You are nicer than I am.I cant believe someone has the nerve to walk up and say such things.Heck I have pre baited Emma twice, only to show up at the crack of dawn and find other fisherman right on top of it.No hard feelings about it at all.I didnt say anything to anybody just figured I made their day.hehe. I also dont pre bait anymore though.

its all good guys. after all its just fishing right.
