Landed my PB Calico Bass today

[surfisher]

Slow and cold in carlsbad. Fished for an hour for nada at the patties so I hit the reef. 3 casts later and this thing slammed my bait. Funnest fight and my new personal best. I have no idea what the weight or length was, but it felt around 4-5lbs ? Either way, I have a smile from ear to ear right now haha.

Nice job! Love when a big calico slams the bait! Even the little guys are fun to catch on the artificial.

Id say 3.5 to 4.5, hard to tell. usually the head is we look at to tell.

congrats, they are a fun fish to target. my favorite!

[Bert Vega]

Congrats on your PB!

[YakDout]

That's a nice looking checkered kind. What is crazy is that fish could be 10-15 years old

[Amish Ed]

Good job on the PB.

[YTHunter]

Those things hit like a frieght train.

Solid 4 maybe a 5? Either way, an old calico is a hoot on plastics. Nice job!

[surfisher]

Yea I was stoked! I love fishing for them, good fights all around.

I forgot to mention that it was released. The moment I took the hook out of it's mouth it darted back to the bottom.

Caught on a 1oz warbait w/ brown colored 4" fish trap swimbait.

Good one! I'm a total bass geek and they are by far my most favorite fish to catch.
