Very nice mess of fish.
Very nice catch, I have caught Warmouth before but I have never caught that many in one day. Are you typically able to catch a mess of them like that? I generally just pick up one or two incidentally. They are a pretty fish and they fight like a small bass.
This was an unusual catch. Haven't caught them like this is many years. Last time was in Lost Lake maybe 8 or 10 years ago. I did have a partner with me for this catch. Like you, usually you catch one here and there incidental to bream, etc.
Several years ago I fished in a small pond on a Government expeerment station that was full of them, many times using a roostertail you would have 2 on the treble hook and another one or 2 would be chasing it. Caught a few old mudcats in that pond to. Just a few years ago I took my son to fish in an old out of the way millpond, it was full of grass and just had holes you could fish in, we were bass fishing with plastic worms. We must have caught 50 warmouths each that day, it was a blast. They were about as big as they get, they really hit those worms hard and fought hard. May have been more than a "few years ago", my son was about 12 then and he is 29 now. My how time gets away. Some of the creeks I float fish these days you can't hardly catch a bass anymore for the warmouth grabin your bait first.Quote:
