I went fishing with Roger this past weekend and had an absolute blast. Pretty quickly into the trip Roger hooked into a monster bass, that had to be about 4-5lbs. Honestly it’s the largest bass I have seen caught on a fly rod in person. Just amazing! I also got a decent little Rio. Not as large as those in that city park river called Brackenridge park I was fishing in San Antonio, but still decent sized, and one of the largest outside of Brackenridge Ive caught.
I will have to go back to that spot some time soon. There were 4-5 bass all cruising around there, eager to eat. I had another looking at mine but couldn’t get it to commit. But each time we caught a fish in that spot, the larger bass would come in chasing, trying to eat the fish we were catching. The bass almost got the Rio I caught. But after those two fish in that hole, the bass were spooked and we couldn’t get them to bite anymore.
We ended up fishing a couple other spots later in the day that I did not show, because they didn’t produce fish and there wasn’t anything worth showing in the video. I did include the very last spot in the video though, which if you have been fallowing you might recognize the spot. I actually came to fish there with John once before. And I had a huge bass come up and bite my gamechanger fly but I didn’t get a good hookset. However this time around I did not see any bass in that spot. Oh well.
So I forgot my wading boots this time. I am always forgetting things on my fishing trips. But luckily Roger had some wading shoes in the back of his truck. They were quite tight, and my feet hurt pretty badly actually since my toes were curled up the whole time while fishing. But I was grateful for him letting me borrow them so I could witness such an incredible fish being caught.

Very cool! Happy 🦃Day
Nice bass! 👍🎣👌 Happy Thanksgiving Mr.McFly. Maybe use some turkey feathers on a fly for the special day. 🤔😂
Looks like fun. Can’t wait till next spring to get back on the water. It’s starting to freeze over here in northern Minnesota. Happy thanksgiving!!
It has some length but that thing is very scrawny. Good fish
I really enjoyed this video. This is the type of fly fishing I have to do since trout are not native in my area.
Always love your videos. Hope you and your family have a great holiday.
