Bass Pond Photos

A few weeks ago, Hawgdaddy and I were fortunate enough to fish some private bass ponds that belong to a friend of ours. I had taken some photos during the trip that I wanted to share with all of you. My appologies that it took so long to post them, but they are up nonetheless. Some turned out really well, and some…well not so good. I suppose that’s all part of playing the amateur photographer role. Hope you enjoy!

Here's Nathan casting to a 4 pounder he saw sitting near the bank.

This was one of my smaller bass for the day.

Nice shot of a little bass I caught earlier in the day.

I've always had good luck fishing around docks, and today was no exception.

This was a pretty neat picture. It looks as if the grass was framing Nathan's fishing net.

Behold the mystery of the mighty bamboo fly rod!

  • Hi there,
    Now you see that little guy that you caught well those are the sizes that I only seem to catch. I just love the photo’s they are always just great.

  • Amy,

    It’s not the size of the fish that matters, but the size of the fight in the fish….or something like that. Ok, so I’m not very poetic, but I think you get the idea. The whole size issue is overrated. I mean, there have been many times when I have went fishing and been skunked. In my opinion, I’d rather have this little beauty on the end of my line than nothing at all. Patience will pay off one day and you will land a trophy, just be ready to reel it in when that happens!

    Thanks for the compliments on the pictures!

    ‘What more can a man ask for?’

    How ’bout Supermodels in skimpy bikinis, holding ice cold adult beverages?

  • Matt,

    Let’s think through this logically. If all that had been going on at the pond, then I sure the heck wouldn’t be snapping pictures of Nathan’s backside…..

    NICE PICS. READY TO COME BACK?

  • Matt

    I don’t know, Insane, what with that Bromance y’all seem to have… ;)

  • George,

    I think it’s safe to say that both Nathan and I are MORE than ready to come back! Not only was the fishing great, but the food and company were even better. We’ll have to get together sometime soon and have another go at it. At some point, whenever you are ready, we will need to take you to the Flint River for a day of fishing. It might not be a stocked bass pond, but I’m pretty sure you would have a great time.

    It was good to hear from you again, and make sure to stay in tough!

    God Bless,
    Dewayne

  • Matt,

    You better stop before you get Jacqulyn all over my case!

  • Hi there
    I just love your bit of poetry, and I guess you are so right there its not the size, because all I have ever caught are little ones :) but with not much fight, but I suppose I will get there. :)

  • Amy,

    I’d say if you are catching fish, keep up what you’re doing. The big fish have got to eat at some point right? They might be a little wiser, but I’d be willing to bet that they don’t get that size by not eating….Thanks again for reading the site!

    God Bless,
    Dewayne

  • Hi Dewayne
    Thank you for that supporting message, I most certainly will continue my fish but not right now as we are having really freezing weather at the moment and I would rather stay in doors thanks
