Hey Stan, Thanks for the afternoon trip. Caught a few, weather was perfect, a nice afternoon. Met up with Jim, Amy and grand-daughter. Great folks, seemed most of the fish ended up on their side of the boat :) It's been about a year and a half since our last trip. Thanks again for taking me fishing,...

Jeepnkal, Way cool, at least your fishing. I was in Bangkok last week, flew home for 36 hours and flew out to Orlando, for the ICAST show. Setting up our Phenix Rods booth today, show starts Wednesday. Just another day in the fishing community. However, a couple of our guys went fishing last night a...

Jeepnkal, Glad to see you got your wish to go back home. Like you, born in Hawaii, now live in North County San Diego. I do get lucky and go back to Hawaii, a couple times a year. Always try to find the time to fish at Lake Wilson. Still wish I was living full time in Hawaii. I like your fish porn, ...

All, Though Florida strain largemouth bass would have been great, it still goes back to food supply. Does Lake Wilson have enough feed to support the fishery, I don't think so. I get the impression that the largemouth bass strain that is in the lake in more northern. Northern speices are more aggres...

Dang you Stan!! You are a ball buster!! I'm thinking yeah, finally a nice size Tuc (however, I didn't think the picture looked 11lbs). I'm here in Singapore and I hope to get a Tuc over 10lbs in the coming weeks. However, it was a great April Fool Tuc story. Mel - Kahuna bass Darkside fooled by "Apr...

Stan,

Your starting to show your age!!

Bad thoughts Stan! :twisted: I've had my girls tell me, "e-bay", a number of times. Just on the wall hanging, I have over 350 swim baits. Another 50+ in the storage bin. My addiction continues! Now, only if I had the whole garage for "My Man Room"! Wishful thinking. Hope all had a wonderful Christma...

Greetings all, Here's a few more pictures of my collection. Besides, my wonderful wife got me a few more fishing mounts! http://s11.postimage.org/u7xlu44j3/DSC00696.jpg http://s15.postimage.org/fj6oc7cjr/DSC00697.jpg http://s14.postimage.org/odq26i5od/DSC00698.jpg http://s18.postimage.org/4vgpil6qt/...

Wow, what a sad picture. That fish just looked wrong! I haven't seen a bass with that big head and super small body in a long time. We've all said it before, the balance in the lake is way out of control. May it be eradicating the red devils, slot limits for Tucs, planting more bluegills, something ...

Stan! I'll be back on the island 29 Nov - 13 Dec, I need to go Tuc fishing!! This time, we need to go catch big live bait -- just to toss at the pretty big Tucs. :evil: Glad to see your Tuc breeding program is going well!! Mel - Kahuna "wana catch Tuc" bass Darkside master baiter :twisted:

Hey Rev, Welcome to the island! In due time, you'll meet some of the kindest and wonderful anglers Hawaii has to offer. The folks that fish Lake Wilson are always friendly and always willing to help new anglers. Though I live in the mainland, my roots is still the islands. Enjoy the peacock bass fis...

Pegasus!

Your my hero!! Darkside all the way!!

Glad to see the bigger Tuc's are on the bite.

Remember, "go big or go home"

Looking forward to being back on the island again - - November.

Lusting over the Tuc's

Skunked! Awesome write-up and congrats on your 7.5 lbs personal best large mouth. I look forward to your annual ventures to Texas. Your first hand reports, road trips to Bass Pro Shop and family time with the gang is top notch. Besides, I cannot hang the true "tackle ho"!! You da man!! Like you, I t...

Stan,

Looks like all had fun.

I agree with your comment, long skinny fish.

All your largemouth heads are much bigger than their bodies. If something doesn't get done soon, survival of the largemouth bass can become something of the past.

Largemouth feeling "no-love"

Your right, that's just wrong.........in so many ways.
