BassNewbie finally gets some fish

BassNewbie · 08-02-10, 11:24 AM

Well guys, after my 4th trip, I finally have something to show for it, and pretty much owe it all to the advice from you guys.

I got 3 smallmouth total, all around the same size. Nothing to brag about but sure makes me happy as ive been getting skunked all summer.

caught 2 with a 8inch pink work drop shotted, and the final (biggest one) on a rapala x-wrap crank.

Was lucky enough the wife was close on the middle fish and got a picture for me.

Thank for the help guys

Ohhhhh, you've gone and done it now! You actually caught some bass. Your sooo totally screwed my friend. You could have backed out while you had a chance, but noooo, you had to go out there and catch yourself some. Well, now your in the same boat we are. Hooked for life and with a never ending hunger for catchin bass you can never saticfy. Next thing you know your going to start buying more and more and more stuff for bass fishin. I feel for ya buddy, hahaha. Congrats on breakin the ice. It's all up hill from now end.

Congrats, BN, and nice job!

P.S. - Kind of looks like a Largemouth you're holding in the pic???

Well like my name says, im new to all this so I could be wrong.

But when its mouth was closed the hinge of his mouth ended well before his eye, so I thought that defined him as a smallmouth.

Do they have spots that far north?

No biggie -- either way you caught some bass, which is really at that matters! It's hard to tell from the picture, but based on the coloring I can see, it doesn't look like a smallie to me. I could sure be wrong, though!
