Hit the 1,000 mark

bluebasser86 · 04-30-12, 09:58 PM

Went to Miami today with my friends Jon and Drew. We knocked them around all day, catching fish on poppers, frogs, jigs, swimbaits, squarebills, worms, shakeyheads, traps, spooks, chatterbaits, and senkos. I was hoping to make it to 1,000 by my birthday yesterday but fell 83 short. I made up for that today, catching exactly 83 bass to make it to the 1,000 mark before May. Only 2 over 18", one on a swimbait and one on a senko, the swimbait fish was probably around 4lbs and 19". Had one eat a crankbait as far as I've ever seen one.

Number 1,000, last fish of the day on a crankbait from under the dock by the ramp.

Here's the swimbait I caught a lot of them on today.

Congrates!
You hit 1000 before I reached opening day.

I got to ask, please don't be offended, do you EVER get skunked?
I truely am impressed!.
Whats the next goal?

Yep, congrats and same here with not being opening day yet. Not only does he never get skunked, he catches more on his worst day than I do on my best!

Hey, but as long as we each have fun when we get out there, that's all that really matters.

blue, I'm expecting 2,000 by the end of May...

I did get skunked once this winter when it was about 30 degrees out with strong winds and ice around the edges of the pond. I try to avoid lakes that have low populations of bass, not worth my fishing time if I don't have a very good chance to catch something.

As a question, this year is your sole intent to just catch numbers of fish? just wondering, you are way ahead of me. but i also dont have enough time to ever get on here, or sleep.

If I was just after numbers I promise I wouldn't be throwing a 5" swimbait

A lot of lakes I fish you have to go through the dinks to get to the big ones. Plus I get out at least a few times a week for a couple hours at a time and then the full day almost every monday.

aikenyounggun · 05-02-12, 08:10 PM

Gotcha. My freshmen year (3 years ago), I wish I had kept count. I fished almost everyday with a kid who used to be on here (swimbait kid). Who knows how many fish I caught.

But good job, and give you props for the swimbait. I have been throwing smaller ones for a year or two now and am gonna move up to bigger ones soon.

bluebasser86 · 05-02-12, 08:29 PM

The Berkley Havoc Grass Pig has quickly became one of my favorite smaller swimbaits. They aren't expensive and they work great weightless, with a keel hook, or on a jighead. Buddy of mine even uses them for spinnerbait trailers. The 5" Decoy Hydratail I was fishing is by no means a big swimbait but it is way bigger than most guys are comfortable fishing.

One year I had a bass count on here of well over 10,000. Of course it was fake, but it was funny all the questions I started getting with people asking how I caught such huge numbers of bass. The answer:"I lie about it".

(edit; not saying a word about what you are doing bluebasser, I think you are legit, but since we are on the subject of bass counts...)

No offense taken. I suppose you'll always have your skeptics with everything anyways. 10,000 would be just incredible numbers of fish. I'm amazed at how many 1,000 bass is, it seems like I've caught so much more than that. If I didn't have to work and I could afford to go fishing where ever I wanted each day I could probably hit the 10,000 mark, but I'm sure a lot of other people could too. I'd sure like to give it a try if anyone wants to sponser me for that quest

That is some feat...congrats. You must not be married or have children hahahahaha.

Bassboss · 05-03-12, 08:05 PM

Congrats! That's really a hell of allot fish!

bluebasser86 · 05-03-12, 08:07 PM

I actually am married but I don't have any kids. I work an evening shift schedule right now (1600-2400) so I'm only home with my wife Saturday morning, Sunday, and Monday night. So I usually have a couple hours before work 4 days a week that I can go if I want to and then again all day Monday until she gets off work.

shawn · 05-04-12, 08:51 AM

Wow thats a lot of fish! Congrats!

MallenManson · 05-04-12, 09:40 PM

Wow! I won't catch 1000 all year.
Sounds like you're having great luck and a great time!

ughh, my hands hurt just thinking about unhooking all those bluegills. That's insane to catch that many fish in that amount of time though.
