Yee-hah, yippie cayay -Â the first two hours of bass fishing on an overcast Tuesday (May 25, 2010) with Captain John Leech. We yielded no less than four 9+ pound largies along with assorted pickerel, gar and smaller bass.
The first lunker seemingly got away from Bruce then suddenly Ralph had his rod bending big-time…Ralph brought it in(his first freshwater bass ever!) and it turns out t was lassoed around the gills…no hook whatsoever! A good laugh and a great time with Captain John.
John – thanks again for a great time fishing…you’ll be seeing us again I’m sure…Gordon

Thursday this week, I took out Dominic Lamanno& son Dom Jr. from Oceanside NY. They enjoyed a Super Half day fishing Florida Everglades for Largemouths. The father and son team were a blast to fish with. Dom jr
was the first to land a big bass, it went 5 and a half lbs with a bunch af chunky bass going 2 to 3 lbs. The pictures just says it all, look at the Big Bass with Big smiles.
We look forward to fishing with you in the future!
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….

05/26/10 — Bass fishing enthusiasts will want to stow a digital camera in the tackle box this summer for a chance to win $1 million for catching a record largemouth bass anywhere in Florida.BountyFishing.com, the place where anglers compete for cash prizes uploading photos of the biggest fish, announced the Florida Million Dollar Bass Bounty — an Internet-managed fishing tournament that will pay $1 million to the fisherman who sets the new state largemouth bass record.
The Million Dollar Bass Bounty is open to all anglers legally fishing in any public body of water in Florida from July 5 to Aug. 1, 2010. Sign-up costs $7 per day or $19 for one week. The first 1,000 entrants will receive a 50 percent discount by paying only $38 for all four weeks.
BountyFishing.com has partnered with the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and the nonprofit Wildlife Foundation of Florida to use a portion of the proceeds to conserve Florida’s fish and wildlife habitats for future generations.
BountyFishing.com makes tournament fishing accessible to the remaining 40 million anglers across North America, allowing them to compete when they want, where they want for just a few dollars. BountyFishing.com’s patent-pending remote tournament technology and licensed “FBI-Strength” imaging forensics determine fishing contest winners by analyzing catch photos. Validating pictures at the end of the week, instead of weighing fish at the end of the day, allows BountyFishing.com competitors to practice immediate catch-and-release fishing, which puts minimal stress on the fish and habitat.
Florida’s current largemouth bass record of 17 pounds, 4 ounces set July 1986 is impressive but not insurmountable. In 2008, an 18 pound, 8 ounce bass caught in Florida exceeded the record but was never certified by an FWC biologist (nor was a 20-pound, 2-ounce behemoth hooked in 1923).
Tom Champeau, FWC’s Director of the Division of Freshwater Fisheries Management said, “We are convinced there are state-record breaking bass swimming somewhere in Florida waters, and we want your help to find them. Thanks to BountyFishing.com, you now have a million more reasons to go fishing in Florida.”
BountyFishing CEO and Founder, Richard Shafter added, “If you are a bass angler grab a digital camera and come to Florida this July to take your shot at winning a million dollars.”
To sign-up for the Florida Million Dollar Bass Bounty visit BountyFishing.com/FL, and half of your registration fee will be donated to the Wildlife Foundation of Florida to fund wildlife conservation projects and related public education efforts across the state of Florida.

May 20, onboard with Tom Le from Montgomery IL for some peacock bass. Tom was on business and wanted to experience the fight of an exotic Peacock Bass in Miami. One thing about fishing in Miami its always full of surprises. We were fishing for Peacock Bass and got in a school of Tarpon. Tom landed a fifty pound Tarpon on light tackle (10 pound line), he had a big fight taking him about 30 to 40 minutes to reel in this big fish. He was excited and wiped out when finally boating a Big Tarpon.
We look forward to fishing with you in the future!
Till next time tight lines and good fishing….
