Ty sent me these pictures and report to post for him:
Well, we started out at Gosam with no luck not even one bite and we fished both sides till 1130am. Then we went for a bite to eat at the restaurant in the pic. After eating we went to KumKwang Lake.
I caught the first one at about 1230pm and then yes Mr. Kim Kyoung Tae landed this monster Bass in the 2 pics at exactly 4 lbs. This was his second time catching Bass, the first time at Asan Bay he caught two nice ones and he out-did us anglers that were there with him. No sh*t, beginners luck to me. After about two hours we went to Iwol Lake with no luck there so we left to Beak Kok Lake with still no luck. There were still a couple of lakes to hit but no time left in the day. It started getting late so we left for the house. We were both beat and after Mr. Kim had no sleep the night before, he couldn’t take the ride no longer and was fast asleep as I drove back to Osan Air Base. I think he was dreaming about his next fishing trip and wondering what size Bass he will land the next time. I’m totally finagled with these two fishing trips with Mr. Kim. We had a BLAST.
Good going, Ty! That is a nice bass your friend caught and you said he caught it on a $1 Wall-Mart (or K-Mart) spinner bait, right? Do you remember how to get to any of these lakes? Aside from Gosam, I have no idea where any of them are. Again, way to go
A fishing marathon! I like it!
Nomad that’s right that spinner cost $1 from Wal-Mart. I have a couple for you, my daughter sent me fifty more in the mail. I don’t remember how to get to the lakes but one more trip and I’ll have it downpacked for next time.
Got any black ones or red/white?
Poor Mr Kim. He’s going to think that there’s nothing to this bass fishing stuff. Starting out 2 for 2 is only going to give him a big head.
My most productive lure of all time is a cheap Norman crankbait I picked up at K-Mart in Abilene Texas for only 99 cents about 15 years ago. That one single bait has caught many bass in several states. It works anywhere I chunk it on multiple species. I just cannot explain it. I can’t find another like it and so I am so afraid to lose it that I only use it trolling anymore to find suspended bass or schooling whites. I once got it hung up in some submerged brush and actually swam in to retrieve it.
I am glad I left it in storage, I am sure here that I would have lost it first day on some carp net.

That’s great Dave! And yes, good thing you didn’t bring it because you more than likely would have lost it by now.
Nomad, I got em. Different flavors…
