My first SM

Bender · 05-24-07, 11:48 PM

actually 2. Was only out for less than 2 hours but I got 2 LM and these 2 pigs!
My first SM bass, what a rush. I only had on 6# line with a shaky head worm.

and the second, smaller one:

Also got me a new rig to tow the boat:

No options, but the 5.3 engine. Only 2wd but rated at 21 MPG so that works for me! Still can't beat the VW TDI.

Nice fish, those are some pigs.

Go catch that pig again - measure length and girth and get the appropriate picture - Then enter that lunker in the forum tournament! See the message board section for details! By the way Congrats.... i'm jealous!

I was thinking that the whole time he was on the boat. I don't have a tape measure, just that Golden Rule since that is what they use in catch and release tournaments up here. I'm going to get a tape and keep with me in the future!

My club went back to that lake today. It rained like a summer afternoon in Florida, if ya know what I mean. We fished through it and caught a good number of both LM and SM bass on everything from Senkos, shaky head, pointers, and even a big (about 4 lb) LM on MMIB grandad's noodle. I bought some last year and never tried them until now, the "noodles" have a great action in the water! Just make sure to use a swivel ahead of them.
In the end my partner and I had over 20 fish, better than 12 of them keepers (14"). One other boat had 40+, but many of theirs were smaller. Overall a great day on a lake that has kicked my butt in the past with so many fish.
