After a record-breaking March with five trophy size Bass reported the obvious question was will the streak continue? Those who put in the time did report some respectable numbers with most in the 1-1/2 lb. to 3-1/2 lb. range and only a handful slightly larger. At mid-month nothing of notable size had been reported. Finally on April 18th, FFC member Lou Benasutti reported the second largest Bass that he has caught.
This 7lb. 5oz. beast was taken at Chatham Square Pond with a Texas rigged chartreuse curly tail worm.
At month’s end Lou’s catch remained at the top of the list earning the title “Fish Of The Month” WTG Lou.
More April reports that deserve “Honorable Mention”
FFC member Bob Buckwalter changed things up with this 6.6 lb. Channel Catfish that he took at Lake Miramar.
FFC member Blancy Mitchell shows off a 4.36 pounder taken on Odell Circle.
FFC member Len Durcholz took this 5lb. 14oz. at Bonita pond with a Watermellon Flake Speed Worm.
The final report for April came from FFC member Tim Doyle. Check out this 6-1/2lb. Villages pond catch. A watermelon with red flake Yum “Dinger” got the job done.
Thanks to all who reported and sent in pics. Keep them coming.
