That's a real healthy looking bass. Where exactly is that lake you are fishing in Italy?

Was actually looking healthy, had a big head...
Lugano's lake is located in Switzerland, I live a few kilometers from the Swiss...
My girlfriend live near border, and this makes things easier... >/smile.gif" alt="smile" title="smile" height="15" width="15" />
I hope you hunderstand me, i'm using a free online traslator...

Yes, I "understand" you... I just don't know where the translation software got that "H" from... (Hunderstand)... it's like it's inserting a fake accent for you! >/wink.gif" alt="wink" title="wink" height="15" width="15" />
Are there any bass in Lago Di Varese or Lago Maggiore ??? If so are they close enough for you to fish them too?

The inappropriate "H" is my mistake...
Help myself with a translator but a few word is written by me...
I write quickly without rereading....
The translator is well!!!
I live 5 km from Lake Varese, 20 from Lugano and Maggiore...
In all lakes there are Bass, but i prefer Lugano because the average is higher!!!!
Lake Varese is perhaps the most beautiful spots, waterlilies, cane thicket, not too deep... but over the years has been treated badly and now we pay the consequences ...
Lake Maggiore is best for pike!!!!
Also going fishing in a spot where a river enters the lake and forms a large channel where there are mote algae!! the channel is 40 meters wide... fantastic...

Very cool... do you have any lakes nearby with smallmouth or spotted bass in them?

Unfortunately no, we have only largemouth bass(northern)...
And in some private lakes where you pay to fish there are stripped (a strange species), but specimens are rather small and are released from fish hatcheries with raibow trout ...
We call them "trote pollo"("chicken trout")...
There are Sea bass in our seas...
It would be nice to have your "Folrida bass" >/laugh.gif" alt="laugh" title="laugh" height="15" width="15" />

Stripped Bass like this one?
Nothing strange about them... just pure excitement! They are like giant largemouth bass that are wearing the "jail bird suit".
