Been catching a lot of Large Mouth in the Snake near Centennial Park. I always liked the small mouth fishing there, and it's only 15 min from my house, but seems like the large mouth population is growing. Every time I have been there this year I have caught a few large mouth. I caught a 18", two 15" and a 14" there last weekend. I turned them all back, want them to grow and reproduce. Just wondering if I am getting lucky this year, of if anyone else has noticed more large mouth in the Snake near Twin Falls

I can relate to your feelings about C&R of the bass - I shared that when my local honey hole Indian Creek Reservoir was easily kicking out 60-100 bass within an hour or two. Even when the place was drying up and the state allowed salvage fishing I just couldn't do it....fortunately there were plenty of other folks that were willing to harvest the fish. Sure do miss that place.

bassman, I thought about using my FC4 below the bridge. I was worried about current. I have had some good luck down there over the years but never tried it in a float tube. I might have to take my toon down there. Ron

I also miss Indian Crk Dean. The bass fishing was awesome. Crappie and Cats and those 2-3 lb Blue Gills. All 15-20 minutes from my place. Them where the days!

Went to Centennial Park again today, floated upstream on the south side. Small mouth were slow, but it was pretty hot out. I was throwing pumpkin curly tailed grubs when something hit and damn near ripped the pole out of my hands. Missed him so I swithced poles to the one with a Senko rigged texas and weightless. Second cast to the same spot and felt a light pressure on the line. Set the hook and hold on, man I had a good fight on. He finally came up where I could see him, big ole large mouth. Got him on my stripping net and he measured just over 20 inches and fat as a hog. Got to get a cam mounted up, and a scale. I would like to know what he weighed, he was heavy. That one fish made up for a slow day.
