My bro in law and I did a little fishing in Yellville, AR the last couple days. We caught 62 small mouth and 2 rock bass over 2 days. The first day was slow and we only caught 16. The second day we caught 46 smalls and 2 rocks. I caught a 16.5" and a 16.75". We had an absolute blast!

You guys killed 'em! What were you using to catch them?

We were using jigs, Carolina rigs with craws and yum dinger worms, and an occasional roostertail to see if it would work. I caught the 16.5 on a black roostertail. I never catch big ones on roostertails.

We don't keep any of them. We like to let them go so the next guys have a chance at catching a big one. I prefer to eat walleye and crappie.

1/8 oz chartreuse roostertail was my go to lure when I lived in TN. I never used plastic worms until I lived in FL, and now I pretty only much use plastic worms.

That looks like some awesome fun. Wish I was there instead of where I'm at now. Although.....if I get a chance I could go peacock bass fishing. Doesn't look good for a day off though.

Looks like fun! I think that's a different chest rig than I've seen you wear.......

Haha. The fly fishing "chest rig" helps a lot when wading in water. It keeps me from having to wade back to kayak everytime I get snagged on a rock or tree
