Canal Fishing in San Luis AZ (W/P)

[elsospechas]

hey guys! well since new years I decide to become a bass addict and well I am learning a few new things and tricks, this past month i have read alot info about bass that i am going crazy at this point LOL and have practice alot of diferent styles to. At first i didnt believe that rods, reels, and styles really matter, but I was wrong I decide to take my fishing to the next level so I went to wal mart and got a shakespear baitcaster and a Abu Garcia Rod (about $90 dlls including a 12 lb line) and I have to say that baitcasters are hard to learnnr but are the best to have. Today I land my new personal best, a 3 or 4 lb bass with a crank bait fishing the canal/river sides and lost a big one with "Wacky Worming". All I got to say is Thank You All for this great forum and for sharing your fishing story's!

nice fish. good job. what canal is that?

[elsospechas]

is one in san luis next to the border i fish there almost every day, is kind of hard cuz one of the canals is clrear water and the fish runs from you lol.

[elsospechas]

by the way is this a real bass? or just a weird looking one? or a different kind of fish?



just look at his mouth

[thunderchicken]

Kind of looks like a walleye to me although is hard to tell. They have teeth and I don't really see any in the pic.

Looks like a bass to me. Was probably injured as a bassling and managed to survive.

the lower part of the mouth was short i couldnt even grab the lower part, was kind of strange lol but it was a heavy one!

i know what canal that is... my mom used to live in gadsden and i'd run down to san luis and fish the canals.... as for the fish pic, just be lucky it didn't have two heads or tails....

[bosshogg1000]

A lot of agricultural run-off in those canals. That looks like one sick bass! I remember about a decade ago when some guy drove his car into one of those canals and the rescuers garbed up in chemical hazard suits before going into the water to look for bodies/survivers.

well heck, car in canal. gas, oil, ect. i'd want a suit too. but correct me if wrong, but don't those suits leak in water? hmmm? maybe not? but don't think i'd get in canals in one and i dove for yrs. probably have to use 40 lbs of weight to stay down.

THAT WATER DEFINITELY ISN'T GOOD FOR SWIMMING.....THAT'S WHY I JOKED ABOUT THE FISH HAVING TWO HEADS OR TAILS....
