[gallenl]

Tell use about the one you'll never forget, it does not have to be the biggest. Also,this is not a competition......

Smallest bass ever.

I was casting a small beetle spin and i had a very small hit, i thought maybe a perch was hitting my lure. I reeled it in and there was this minnow looking thing. It ended up being a small blk bass and it had taken the lure with its mouth. It was prob an inch and a half long, smaller than my pinkie finger.

actually i have had 2 of them one was a huge bass setting on a bed that for 3 days i tryed every lure and about 20 hours tring to catch this fish. she was rather large i would guess 10+ pounds and had all of her markings a very pretty bass. she never even showed the slightest intrest in any lure i put in her face even a lizard with enough garlic juice on it to slap kill a vampire. the second was a pond bass after catching weighing and releaseing a 9.3 pound bass i catch a larger bass which jumped once and broke me off -had dreams about this bass for weeks.

There are a couple bass I'll never forget. The one that will give me nightmares in years to come was about two months ago. I was throwing a black emerald trick worm t-rigged and pitched it right up next to a weedy island. the bass hit and it started peeling drag, it jumped a few times and I'd guess it was about 11lbs. Brought it right by shore and it snapped the line... *sigh*.
Also there was my first largemouth caught last march or april on a frog pattern jitterbug in a local lake. It was only about 1 1/2 lbs. but it was my first.

The last one.

[gonefishy2002]

The very first one and the 8.3lber. i caught Sat. on light tackle. (Light action rod and 6# line).

Of course, my first keeper, which was 16" and caught 36 years ago on a Hula Popper. Plus a few others whose circumstances were a little different. One day at this pond I fish a lot, I walked over to a point where a guy was fishing on the left and I asked him if he minded if I fished the other side.

He said no, he didn't mind at all. So I cast a soft jerkbait (Slimy Slug) and it was just sinking, I hadn't yet started to work it, and then a fish nearly tore the rod out of my hand. It turned out to be a four-pounder which obviously grabbed the bait while swimming at a high speed away from me. Stuff like that just sticks with you.

Oh yeah, and those two fish that jumped out of the livewell in the Butler Chain tournament. :P

I was 5 years old and fishing for bluegill. The worm fell off my hook when I casted it out so I started to reel it in they I felt a fish on it. When I got it outta the water I saw that I had caught some weeds on the hook and a 3 inch long bass was trying to eat the weeds. I never knew that you could use a weed to catch a bass.

The one that had a small cottonmouth in it. I reeled it up to the side grabbed the lip and to my surprise there was something trying to get out. Im not sure what went farther the fish or me. Im now very jumpy when grabbing a large bass in an area where I know theres a heavy snake population. 8)

The first Bass my oldest son caught when he was 6,it was the most memorable moment in all the fishing I have ever done.

[macgyver]

The one I hooked into on the ST Johns river, that was the fish I was searching for. Never saw it, but it wrapped me around a big branch in about 10 feet of water. I ended up pulling the branch up, without the fish :'(

ofcoarse my first bass(caught omn the sawannee river under a fallen tree on a live night crawler). then there was the one that i caught on a black zoom trick worm it was about 4lbs and i had been fishing all day listening to my my friend brag that he actually caught something and i hadnt caught anything. he had caught a 4 or 5'' bass on a small lizard. well we went to a little creek channel and the my first cast i hooked a 4lb bass. all i could do is laugh cause he was speachless. niether of us caught anything the rest of the day.

the bass i will never forget. Myself and my cousin were ice fishing on a little farm pond. We were both were 8 years old. We had a all are tip ups up for about an hour. we were have a cup of hot chocolate when i saw the flag. so i went running at it. By the time i got there it had seemed if the what ever hit was gone. So i set the hook any way and then the reel came a live again. At that point i was excited . after we got the fish up we weight the LM bass and it was six pounds even. That is the bass i will remember.
