I caught 10 fish in about 2 hours, just using night crawlers on a drop shot. After I lost #11 I called it a night.

#11 was gonna be big... I was using 10 pound test, had my drag set, and he STILL snapped my line. He went on a run, I reeled him in, he went on another run, I reeled him in again, and when he went for the third run... snap!

This is the biggest one I caught, not even 3 lbs, but probably close. Most were in the 2 lb range.

Ever fished Lake Otay??Used to be an awesome lake.....bass to 10 and 12 pounds were not all that uncommon.Last time I fished was back in the early 90's.

I always use 15lbs test on bass, they have strong jaws.

looks like a pacu.... 😟

very nice Shawn !

I have, Ron, didn't catch anything, either. It isn't the same as it was back in the day, since they built an Olympic training center right on it.

Vail is about 7-8 miles from my house. It's a private lake, but if you pay $10 they'll let non-members fish it from sun up to sun down. Best $10 I ever spent and you don't need a license because it's a private lake. The fish seem a little malnourished if you ask me. That's probably why night crawlers work so well... they're hungry.

Photo shopped. The shadows are all wrong.
