We just finished up shooting a TV show for
the Versus Network with Stafford Films and host of the show Conway Bowman, formerly the
star of "The Search for FlyWater " on ESPN. His new show
on theVersus Network starting in February is titled " Dollar Wise Fly
" The show I appear on will probably air in April. The subject will be Kayak Fly
Fishing for bass in the Ocala National Forest. Conway also fished with Dr Aaron Adams for
another show about Kayak Fly Fishing in the Matlacha, Florida area. Dr. Aaron Adams was
one of the featured top experts in our video, Kayak Fishing the FLATS.
Aaron has authored two books on fly fishing, including Fisherman's Coast
and Fly Fisherman's Guide to Saltwater Prey.

The FROG strikes again. In the final
minutes of light on a rainy, warm front, evening, this bass couldn't resist the
FROG even though it was right on the quarter moon when they are usually less responsive.
This photo light has been brightness enhanced . It was actually darker out than it
appears. The next photo was taken with a flash.

Monday evening was the new moon, and it was very good to me. If
this isn't my biggest bass ever, it is a close second. I am especially excited about it
because it hit one of my FROG Lures, and I got it in my kayak.
I can't describe to you the thrill of a sleigh through the lily pads hooked up to a bass
of this caliber leaping into the air and scaring the hell out of me. This Bass was over
29 inches long and very solidly built. I've pulled a lot of 10 and 12 pounders into
my kayak, which is always a thrill, but a bass like this on your lap is shocking. It
took a lot of discipline to calm down and take the pictures and take good care of her for
a healthy release. That ring floating on the water is my kayak fish resuscitator. It has a
net below that allows the fish to rest in the water while I get my camera ready. She was
very healthy on the release. By the way. I am very close to offering the FROGS for sale on the website soon. They are tthe best way to get
a big bass. Even better than big golden shiners.
I'll post more photos of this
awsome bass soon.

I'd like to let everyone know that
I have a new patent pending device that can drastically improve a kayak fisherman's
fishing efficiency. It's called the One Arm POWER Paddler. It will allow you to paddle
with one arm and fish with the other. You will never have to set your fishing rod down
again while paddling. Click on the video below to see a demonstration.

Getting lucky with the rainstorms.
As a bonus there nhasn't been much lightening either. Had a chhance to get out and fish
the FROGS on some prairie ponds. The big bass are always waiting for a shot at those
FROGS, especially if its rainy, cloudy, or evening.

There was a lull in the bass
fishing action through most of the month of August due to the lack of rain or cloudy
weather. There were some fish in the evening for about a half hour before dark. But then
on Aug 31st, we got some nice rain showers and cloud cover. I hit two fish about 10
lbs in the same day on the FROGS. Took some lousy pictures with
the cell phone again. Then Tuesday night Sept 11th. I hit the fish pictured below just
before dark on one of the FROGS. Oh yeah------ got a new camera !
The floating basket in the picture
above is a great item to use to keep your catch alive for a release. You can let the fish
sit in there as long as you like while you get your camera ready for a pictu re. They will
revive completely as long as the water is not muddy. It works great in saltwater for reds
& trout also . It would also be a great help to photo & release kayak tournament
anglers. For more info on the basket CLICK HERE.

In this contest, all previous purchasers of
the video Kayak Fishing for BASS are also eligible for the
drawing. Click on the FREE FROG link below to get more details:
Big bass in the lakes & ponds this year
are keeping me from reaching the coast. I hit my biggest fish of the year so far this
evening on one of my homemade frog lures. Incredible experience from a kayak. It's been a
season full of big bass and this year the Frog has been responsible for most of them. I
haven't been carrying a camera with me because I'm kind of burned out on photography after
making all the videos. I just want to fish. Anyway, I did take a photo with my cell phone.
I wish my arm was longer so I could show you a little more of the fish with me holding it.
I don't know what this fish would have weighed
because it was released alive. But, based on
experience, it was well over 12 pounds.
These pictures turned out surprisingly well
for a cell phone. I took a few cell phone pictures of some fish earlier in the season.
I'll see if I can post those also.
