Thought i would post my first fishing report since i had such a great evening. First i must say this wonderful evening i made my best catch of the year. I'm in no way one to brag but in this case i will cause i'm still excited. Check it.
8 pounds 9 ounces...........
and the release.
oh and heres the 4/2 baby i caught right after the big girl.
Info: I caught this monster on the third cast and she made a couple of very good runs towards some sunken trees. I gave her no slack and basically horsed her back to the boat. I saw the hook was buried very nicely in some hard grisle or bone so i had a good hook set. Caught on a 5/8 ounce local made chatterbait cause personally i think the rad lures version is too cheaply made for me. 7 foot m.h. shimano crucial rod and a quantum accurist reel. 15 pound new spiderwire "g string" which is swindles new string he has done with spiderwire. First time i've used it since i bought it last week and i'm impressed with it and i dont use mono hardly ever anymore. I used berkley braid until i tried the new suffix braid few months ago and i'm happy with teh suffix now. This was in nickajack on the river and thats my fav place to catch big bass. This bass had a flat belly so im certain if she had been feeding like in spring or fall she would have weighed from 2 to 4 pounds more if not so skinny.
I did see a dark blue jeep cherokee sport parked there with a cff sticker and some big nitro stickers if that was anyone of you i hope you had some good luck down there tonight also.
