Went to one of the city park lakes last week to check out how the bite was. it was slow most of the time. I got 2 fish but 1 of them was a giant prespawn female. I saw her swimming around chasing bluegill in the morning and all it took was a quiet cast the right bait and presentation and she turned and inhaled it! Freaked me out. Her belly was so obese she couldnt jump. Just big splashes and her head coming out of the water. She took me for 2 really big runs then she was just dead weight with head shakes. Slowly babied her in and then i really freaked out when i got a close up of her. She was WAYYY bigger then i thought when i saw her. Lipped her as quick as i could and did a pretty loud war cry! hahaha. Had someone take a quick pick, weighed her and got her back in A.S.A.P so she could release all her eggs for more toads in the future! She must of had pounds of eggs in her she was almost exploded. And had a huge bluegill sticking out of her throat too! Beautiful fish and my pb for this lake!

Awesome catch!!!!! If you scaled the fish you should be able to add the weight in the report, if you want. I wouldn't worry about a few jerks that think they can guess weights off of photos.

There hitting jerk baits and plastics and there biting at all the lakes its spring.YOU HAPPY NOW!. This isnt a lake btw its a pond with more fisherman then fish. Dont post on my thread if you dont like it go mind your own business. And ive put in plenty of useful information on my posts at the regular lakes and answered many pms helping people out and putting them on fish so you have no right to jump on me like that. People these days!Do you really have nothing better to do then to hate on people over the computer. You could be making a detailed fishing report letting people know exactly whats going on at your home lake instead of hating on me. :Guns: :Guns:

Nice fish Fishindude! A beautiful fish. Congrats on the catch, Photo and Release. Hopefully she produces more like her for the future generations. Regardless of the exact weight, she is an awesome fish and I would definitely say a double digit.

Thanks man. I appreciate the kind words. Yah she was a beauty. The best part of the whole thing was watching the fish swim away. It looked like a overgrown football with fins,lol. Hopefully she has some great babies that will grow up into monsters like her someday.

nice toad, im guessing 10lbs. hopefully no poachers saw you catch it so she can lay eggs.

good job!

Castaic Lagoon weight is 14.2. Real life weight? About 11. Definitely a toad in my book.

And, to avoid getting the "haters" on posts, you should've thrown this in the Photos section, as it's a lovely example of a nice fish.

Or just straight up lied about the details. That'll have the report chasers running around LA or the OC.

Way to go man that things awesome, letting a fish like that go is such an amazing feeling. And I agree with you, no need to share info on the internet.... these people arent your friends, they will be at your spot with a bucket in no time. A Nice picture is all thats needed, just a reminder they are out there ya know. Just looking at the pic I was saying 10-12 pounds. Again great job.

One hell of a fish that's for sure, and for a city park it's definitely a good idea to protect the whereabouts of this fish. For you lurkers why don't stop complaining for info when you don't contribute anything yourself?! People only hide their spots and techniques when they know that the info they give out can have some potential harm to fish in small bodies of water. Anything else well I don't think it's rational.

Nothing fishy about it, wanted her to spawn and make babies with her genes. I'm not worried about a DD, i know it will happen. There was dudes staring at me on my boat (this was at a bigger lake), made two casts, got her to bite, and moved on. She was tough to see too, water's a little murky there ;)

Still dont make sense to me. No one in there right mind would pass up a double digit bass. Especially if it was that easy to catch! I know you geoff you wouldnt pass up a dd! lol.If you want those females to have a good spawn and make babies you should stop fishing a couple months then because any big fat females you get are probably gonna be full of eggs.lol, just sayn. Whether shes on a bed or not doesnt matter. Still putting the same amount of stress on the fish. And its not gonna be enough stress to stop her from spawning im sure. good job though either way! lol

It gives me a couple feet of extra visibility when the hats blocking out the sun rays that get thru the corners of my glasses which can make a difference of catching a monster or getting skunked so throughout the day it will be at all different angles on my head.lol. plus what ghetto dad said. Im a P.I.M.P and thats how we do it! ahhaahhha
