Big Ole Golfin Bass

I had to get out for about 2 hours on saturday, we are getting the house ready to sell to help facilitate our move to charleston so there were too many honey dos to mess with the boat. I also didn’t feel like loading and unloading a canoe by myself.

So I went comando (fishing) and put on a golf shirt and snuck across the 12th fairway to a golf course pond that I overheard a local resident braging about at the flyshop here in hickory. Funny thing is after I asked him about it he tried to be cagey and send me to another golf course!!!

Anyway, biggest bass of my career, 22". I went to one of those length calculators and it should weigh 5 assuming the girth is average. Ate a rattle shrimp. I didn’t even know we had shrimp this far inland.:smiley:

I have a buddy that crushes largemouth with shrimp patterns or a DOA shrimp and he only fishes small ponds or lakes inland for them… I guess it’s close enough to a crawdad that they hit it…

Fresh fish tastes much better than fresh kissed butt…

Great fish.
