Tell us a good fishing story.

[junyaah]

My fishing story is how i got into bass fishing.

I was 12 and went to a small lake to fish for catfish. I had a pop-R and decided to throw it on the main part of the lake away from the rest of the group. It was shallow so i went out in the water about 5' to throw a lil further. I had no clue as to what i was doing, never have i fished for bass or with lures. So there i was just casting, reeling and popping. I saw the water explode around my lure. It missed so i let it sit there and started my retrieve over. Well it came back and engulfed it haha and i set the hook. I was so excited and after a long fight, with it leaping several times, i got it out of the water. Now i had on shorts that were a little big on me and through all the excitement i ran with the fish in one hand, the rod in the other back to my dad. and yeah my shorts fell down. So my dad and uncle were sitting on the bank and here i come running around the corner with my shorts down around my ankles holding this bucketmouth bass. It weighed in at a lil over 5 lbs. Needless to say i was hooked..been after em ever since.
