The weather looks like it’s finally starting to warm up here in the Oilfield Camo Nation, even if just a little bit. That means the fish freaks are finally able to take to the rivers, lakes, and creeks and toss a few lines with hopes of a bite. This week’s Trophy of the Week comes to us from local guy, Chase, who is as passionate about fishing and hunting as he is about cooking. I guess they don’t call him “Chef Bowfreak” for nothing! In his own words, Chase tells us about his trip to Toledo Bend where he managed to land his largest bass to date!
“Saturday morning was the first time on the lake this year, and I got with my buddy to do some sight fishing cause the bass were moving up on the beds. When it comes to sight fishing for bedded bass, Bruce is the man to have in your boat. We saw this fish in about 3' of water on the edge of a deep creek channel and put the power pole down. He flipped a couple of times with a black and red tube and got her mad and ready to eat the next thing that touched her bed. I pitched in, bounced the tube a couple of times, and that big sow inhaled the jig and thats when I set back on her and the fight was on. She took a little while to turn but managed to get her in the net waiting at the boat. She weighed in at 6.74lbs and is my biggest bass to date. This technique for catching big fish is one for the very patient, cause sometimes it will take over an hour to make them eat. Just another great day on Toledo Bend Reservior with my oilfield camo gear!”
Great job, Chase! Thanks for sharing the great story with us. We are proud to have been part of your biggest bass trophy to date! KEEP DRILLING!!!
