Toledo Bend bass

I know this is the wrong type of fish, but I had a pretty special bass fishing trip with my dad this weekend. Caught a bass over 8 pounds (personal best). Was glad to release her after photo ops...caught several eaters too. What a beautiful corner of the world that place is..

I don't see any specks on those fish but that's alright if you did it with your Dad. Very nice bass.

I get tired of the same old dishes with fish, so I'm always trying something a little different...last night I used some bass from Toledo and made a shrimp n bass fettuccine...came out really good. I just used 16oz velveeta 1 can cream of celery, 1 can cream of shrimp...matter of fact, my 5 yrs old don't eat fish unless it's fried, but she thought the "chicken" in the fettuccine was delicious...

That sounds delicious.....did you also add shrimp or just the "cream of shrimp"..

I added some 100+ count shrimp, but it would have been fine either way I think...

In the haygrass? Fished the Bend a couple weeks ago, we didn't do as well but talked to a few that were wearing them out punching and flipping the edge of the haygrass with senkos.

Didn't get a single bite punching the hay, though I tried it quite a bit...she was off the edge in a quiet lily pad cove...
