Bass fishing vs saltwater fishing

True though.... lol

Good one! Although I have been out with some who skunked in the salt too!

nice

LOL pretty dang close

I don't know about that ...... Tarpon fishing in the Keys is definitely right up there.

I get to go out Saturday at Port A. I plan on catching fish larger than the state record bass.

I love bass fishing , been doing it for 45 years ---- but I way prefer my trips to Alaska , 50-100lb Halibut in 100+ feet of water on jigs , 30-50lb Ling cod that will pull your arm off , 25-45lb King Salmon and 5-10lb sea bass one after the other on spoons .

Well it is very likely that we will be fishing the surf tomorrow W Galveston then I will go out Sat morning and fish L Houston. I will post the good , the bad, the ugly.

DK you know me as Steven H on couple of others I frequent too. BTW son got him a 2000 Dodge 3500, he is a real diesel man now and they are working on it at the truck shop he is employed at daily.

That’s cute-Hook one of these bad mama jamas (Pulls like a Redfish/ jumps like a Bass) and you’ll forget about fiddling with those little sunfish...

I love em both!

I have used bait bigger than the state record largemouth bass, but catching a ten pound largemouth still gets my blood pumping.

Goliath Grouper - the saltwater version of a Largemouth Bass.

Using saltwater version of a drop shot.

All fishing is good. Largemouth, smallmouth, inshore, offshore.......

Big snook is on the bucket list.

Bull reds in brackish water just off shore on medium heavy spinning gear would be my choice.
They are insanely aggressive and never give up. The limiting factor is how long your forearms hold up before you tear something.
LMB are great because the big ones are very smart and a 95+% of the time are a great challenge to fool with artificial lures.

the thing about saltwater fish is that they taste good and you don't mind keeping a few or more. freshwater not so much.

hangin a 200# tarpon on 20# line with a 7' rod will work ya out, it is only IF you can get it to the boat.
east coast of costa rica rocks for tarpon.
