Bass Fishing Hog Brag Board
The Bass Hog Bragging Board is where you
can do some bragging about your catch by having me post pictures of your Bass Hog.
Use my contact form to
receive the email address to use to send your pictures to me.
Sorry about the extra step but like you, I try to eliminate receiving junk mail
from the mailbots out there.
When you get the return email from me, include the following:
Your name, location fished,
weather conditions and the date your bass hog fish were
caught.
I'll be happy to help you have fun bragging about your luck out on the
lake.
Keep The Hooks Wet!

Rookie Bass Angler, Matt Mcgoldrick, Landing His 1st Bass
|
|
This year, my nephew, Matt Mcgoldrick, joined the ranks of fellow anglers who know the
enjoyment, peace and fun of chasing the bass hog while practicing Catch and Release.
Being a rookie who is learning tips from me in person, Matt is shown here holding a 1-1/2
pound bass caught on a February 2009 morning with partly sunny skies, a water temp of 48
degrees and an outside temp 63 degrees. He caught this bass in about 4 feet of water using
his 1st Baitcaster with a spinner bait.
He is learning fast...almost too fast. Now, I have a bragging competition within the
family. Let the fun begin!

Looks like my nephew Matt Mcgoldrick is still trying to catch the Basshogfishing Brag Board
record for this year.
The first two images are the same fish that hit the scales at 4 pounder and the last two images
are a 6 pounder were caught with over cast skies, air temp 82, water temp high 70's on a rage
tail shad.
He is fishing in the same private pond that I caught the 11 pounder; I think he is still
looking to either tie with me or try and move ahead.
Matt tells me it is hard at times because he has to share this lake with the most snakes I have
ever seen in one place. That is why he is fishing over there and not me.

Steve Mcgoldrick working his magic to land a 11 pound
hog

My nephew, Matt Mcgoldrick, should have been with me on this quick trip where I fished from the
bank.
I caught this hog on 3-9-09 at 2pm with an outside temp of 76 degrees and a water temp of 54
degrees.

Steve Mcgoldrick Caught The Bass Hog Below On August 23, 2009 In A Private
Pond
|
|
Steve Mcgoldrick enjoyed landing this pretty bass hog using his favorite bait, a
Bass Pro Ringworm (Junebug) 7" while
fishing a private pond near Memphis, TN.
The 2 man boat worked great by allowing them to easily cover the entire pond.
Taking advantage of a rare cool August morning temp of 64 degrees, Steve caught this beauty
in 84 degree water.
And this time, he and not just his watch actually made it into the picture.

May 2010 is Turning Out To Be A Bass Hog Month
Steve Mcgoldrick And His Friend, Quin Rowell Caught The Bass Hogs Below On May
16, 2010
|
|
 |
These fish were caught using the Yum Money Minnow Swimbaits , about 2:30pm right up
against the bank in about 2 feet of water. The water temp was 80 degrees with the air
temp 76. It was partly sunny and there was a low over us when we were fishing.

Caught 4.5 Pounder on left on May 22, 2010 in the heat of the day using a Shaky Head Jig
watermelon seed with red flake in it.
The air temp was well in the 90's with the water temp at 80 degrees.
I went to the lake not far from the house to see what
I could catch on this Hot Memphis Day. Discovered the fish have moved out from the bank and
were in about 6 feet of water.
This shows how important you depth finder can be in locating the fish when nothing is tearing
up your baits.
This was not the only fish caught today and we saw a bunch of 2 pounders that were caught using
a swim bait 5 inches long.
Most of all be careful in fishing in this kind of heat and make sure that you have plenty of
water. I think we went through a 12 pack at least.
******************
Caught 5 Pounder on right 5/23/10 at 9am using the Kickerfish Bait Company Explodin Toad.
The fish was just outside some moss and the air temp was 92 and the water temp was 81.6.
Went back to the small pond near my house before the heat set in on Sunday morning.
Having trouble finding the double digits this year but will settle with this 5 pounder any
day.

Night Fishing - July 2010
|
|
|
Another great trip at night for Steve and his friend, Quin Rowell. One fish weighed 4.13 and the
other was 5 pounds.
They caught these fish using the Junebug Ring Worm Texas rigged in 88.6 degree water with air
temp around 94 degrees. Steve reported they lucked out with no wind blowing so it was
easy to keep the boat in about 13 feet of water for the most part of the night.
These two were caught around 10:30pm and the fish turned on about one hour then shut
down. They caught more but not knowing if they were going to shut down did not take pictures
of the others, all together caught about 30 fish that evening.
Day or Night...Steve Knows Bass Fishing

Night Fishing - August
2010

Quin Rowell
Night fishing in August 2010 at its best. Even with the heat Basshogfishing can still catch them
from the back seat.
These fish were caught by Basshogfishing and Quin Rowell at Enid Lake.
This just goes to show you can still beat the heat by fishing at night and ...who knows
might get this lucky.
All the fish here were caught using the famous Bass Pro Ring Worm (June Bug) with the water
temp 88 degrees to 92 degrees in about 13 feet of water.
Texas Rig seemed to do the trick but the bites came late at night.
All the fish were right at 4 pounds each.

Justin Seale closing in on the family title. I better watch out!
|
|
|
Looks like my nephew, Justin Seale, is ramping up the pressure on me and Matt.
Justin caught this 6 1/2 pound beauty in a water temp 60-65 in 3ft of water around 7:30pm on a
chartreuse booyah bleeding buzz with a gold blade.
As Justin put in his email "BOOOOOYAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" I think that means he is looking for the
family title.
