First Fishing Report
Home in High Point, NC for the week for thanksgiving break. And with the great weather decided to get some bass fishing in. Went to one pond and fished for a couple hours without a bite. Packed up and went to a second pond where i can usually catch fish in the 2-3lb range. Fished for about half an hour without a bite. Had been fishing with soft plastics so i switched to a crankbait. Put on a Mann flatbill crankbait that dives to about 4ft. Out in the middle of this pond there is a very large set of brush that sits on the bottom. Lost many a lure in this. So i decided to bump the crankbait along the top of the brush to see if anything was sittin in it. Second cast BAM. She slams it. Fought the fish for about 5 minutes and got her in. Beautiful 6lber. I weighed her on my Rapala scales that i tested on a gallon of milk and were only 4ounces off. She swallowed the hook and was bleeding a bit but after some work swam off strong. Here are a couple pics of her hope yall enjoy. BTW this was my only bite of the day. The pics arent terrific but i was by myself.
