Title: Hawg Hunting (1/14/18)
Post by: Bigassbassman on Jan 14, 2018, 08:17 PM

Met up with Shaun (Fishslap) today and fished a PUBLIC lake in Colorado.  Shaun started off with a decent bass at sunrise, and I followed soon after with this hawg:

Shaun ended up with four species (bass, bluegill, redear, and crappie), and I followed up with a few more bass and plenty of bluegill.  It was a great day with some decent specimens of Colorado warm water species!

I see that you were ready with the tape and on-line tourney tag. What does the bass trophy look like ? Fame and glory awaits. What a nice fish.

Thanks guys, I hope the bass makes the leader board. I was looking back through my pics, and I can't tell if this one is a redear or a bluegill.

There's a bit of red/brown around the outside of the operculum flap, but it's not very much.  What do you think?  Gill or redear?

Hybrid. I’ve caught several from there.  Coolest hybrid I ever caught was gill x pseed in our other bass spot.

That makes sense, not very much red.  Yeah, Pumpkinseed are cool looking fish.

Awesome fish.   I have only been on the ice for about 2 1/2 hours so far this year with nothing to so for it.   My spud bar went through the ice last Saturday evening so I did not stay out too long.  Skiing this Saturday so hopefully I can get out for a few hours on Sunday.

Thanks, guys!  Made the leader board.  Prolly won't hold up, but it's fun!  I think it was a little shortchanged...wish I coulda pinched the tail.  ::)
