JUST FOR YOU: Karen!
Florida Bass Fishing November 16-18,1998
Florida Bass Fishing Trip
Florida bass fishing couple Karen and florida bass fishing, florida bass fishing guide service, florida bass fishing reportsKenny Myers (Maryville, TN - ph: 423-379-5222 / bus. ph: 423-216-3811) caught 33 Florida bass up to 5 1/2 lbs. during 2 1/2 days (Nov. 16 - 18, 1998) of wild shiner fishing with Cap’n Ron. Karen caught the 5 1/2 lb’er and a mud fish that was at least 10 lbs. In fact Karen caught just about all the Florida bass put in the boat. She also told everybody around town that Ken got skunked! For some reason Ken, who had numerous bass hits just could not hook them. He did manage to bird nest his reel which requirer bringing in a bass he had on his line by hand. On the other hand Karen had no trouble hooking and landing any fish that hit her shiner. Of course Ken would not take any advise from Karen on how to set the hook. After such a whipp’n I hope Karen will be taken on the next fishing trip.

Here's the picture you requested in response to your e-mail below. I understand from what Captain John told me that the best catch of the day was your scalp! I was assured that on your next trip a construction helmet will be provided by Captain (scalper) John. In any event hope to see you and Chris the redhead soon again.

Here's a e-mail testimonial I received from the above party:

Subject: our great trip, (hooked scalp and all)

I keep looking for the 4 1/2 and 5 lb. fish that Chris and I caught. John has
the pic. We did have a great time. You will have to ask John about the hooked
scalp. We should see you again in the very near future. Thanks for the
great memories, the 4 1/2 lb'er was the largest bass that my wife, Chris, the
redhead, has ever caught.
See you in Lakeport. Bill and Chris

I forgot to recommend a big can of beans! This is really just what you and Joann needed to top off your pork chop meal. In any event I had a good time fishing and reminiscing about New York and the old times. Hope to see both of you soon again. PS: maybe I will be able to stumble into some fish on your return trip!

Thanks for an enjoyable time.

JUST FOR YOU: Tracy!
Florida Bass Fishing August 8 & 9, 1998
Florida Bass Fishing Trip
Florida bass fishing angler Tracy caught 16 bass up to 4 1/2 lbs. using shiners during 2 half days (Aug. 8 & 9, 1998) of florida bass fishingfishing on Lake Okeechobee with Captain Ron. All the bass which were released were caught in the Monkey Box area of Okeechobee. The fish during the first session of fishing put a show on for us buy playfully blasting the wild shiners out of the water. These tactics which are a sight to see have a way of keeping you on your toes. During the second session of fishing the bass were more aggressive without the topwater action that is delightful to watch. Tracy who I must say is an exceptional good lady bass fishing angler and a Arlinton Texas school counselor wanted me to say hello to all of her school students in this report. Well here's a big "HELLO" from a very special counselor who's thinking of all her students even during her vacation.

JUST FOR YOU: Bob & Joyce!

Florida Bass Fishing couple Bob & Joyce
This Florida bass fishing senior citizen couple Bob and Joyce Napierflorida bass fishing caught about 30 bass up to 5 lbs. during 3 days (Jan. 25-27, 1998) of cold weather fishing on Lake Okeechobee. Joyce caught and released the 5 lb'er which is in fact considered a trophy bass in Indiana. This couple who fished with wild shiners during their stay with us also released all the fish they landed. Joyce somehow managed to out fish her husband Bob during each day of fishing. The smile on Joyce's face holding that 5 lb'er is beyond words. Hope to see you guys someday again - real soon.

Here's that 5 lb. Florida bass you caught out of the 45 + Florida bass you and Dottie caught using shiners during 3 days (Jan. 20 - 22, 1998) of Florida bass fishing on Lake Okeechobee with Ron's Guide Service. We will try and double that figure on your next trip.

JUST FOR YOU: Larry!

Florida Bass Fishing couple Larry & Janet

I'm sure you will never forget that Florida trophy bass you hooked on your "light tackle" and lost when it broke your line. Or your amazement when Janet hooked and landed a 7 1/2 lb'er -- the very same fish with "your hook and line hanging out of it's mouth". Or when Janet also landed a 6 1/2 lb'er and most of the 40 Florida bass caught in 2 days (April 10 & 11, 1998) of wild shiner fishing.

JUST FOR YOU: Whoever you are!

Have no name or other information on this guy?

Okeechobee fishing
Found this old (1986) amusing picture of a guy who Florida bass fished with me for 5 days (Sept. 21 - 25, 1986). There was no name or other information on the picture other than that 236 bass up to 5 lbs. were caught on worm and topwater lures! This guy's head for some reason looks longer than that 5 lb'er he's holding....
