I am so jealous, The water is so clear and the Fish look great!

The best memory of time I spent with my father include that stretch of river. Gods country.

I had the pleasure of hunting on a ranch that had over a mile of access to that section of crystal clear river over ten years ago. Both my Dad and I had both given into the long walk to the river and sat down to take in the sheer beauty while sitting on a cliff overlooking the river (above the indian drawings on the wall section of the river) last day of hunting and I spot a nice cull buck at about 200 yards and take it I watch the deer fall in the scope, my dad screams, "you missed him there he goes"...different buck, he was standing right beside the one I shot and I never saw him...hes running and my Dad ended up shooting this deer at over 300 yards running and turned out to be the biggest ever taken on the ranch and the biggest my Dad has ever taken. There we were overlooking that beautiful river sharing the father son moment of a lifetime. I wrote an article into Texas Trophy Hunters and they published it in 1996. Sorry to move off of the subject of fishing but, I will never forget how virgin that river bottom is, thanks Ryno for helping me relive that.

Hey I was wandering about that fish because at my pond at my ranch I have largemouth I stalked with I THOUGHT but they look alot like that but i dont think they are. Its not letting me put this picture in. Do you have any clue what they are???
My dad told me in the at the bottom of the pond but there all that way .
thanks Ben

Ben, I'm having trouble understanding your question. You want to know what kind of fish you have stocked in your pond?

Im just wondering what type of fish you cought? Because it was was like the ones in my pond and you didn't think it was a largemouth.

Thank you _Ryno_
Thanks for the pics!

I caught LM and SM. The fish I was unsure of was this one.

Ryno,

That looks to be a smallie, but if its not, then I bet its a guadalupe bass, or maybe a rock bass. We have Gaudalupes in the Colorado and the lakes along that chain like, Buchannan, LBJ, and Travis.

Thanks for sharing the pics and the story.

cammod out smallie

deadstick...is that the bridge at bakers? i've caught some good blacks and smallies out of that hole on baby flukes

that fish doesn't look like any of those type of bass

It is a smallie.
