Missed an other biggin!!

[Bassboss]

Went some place new today, and am really liking it so far! It's small, no more than a half acer, it's covered in pads and has a constant depth of about 6 feet(?). But lemme tell you, this place has some HOGS!!!!

First cast I land a nice 2lber on a lizard, next cast, I loose the lizard to a fish that got wrapped up in some pads (was using a 14lb flouro leader). Pull it up, and cut the leader off, now I'm using straight 40lb braid. And switch to a spinnerbait. I hook into a good fish, but my line snapped on the hook set, I never see the fish (for now). Switch to a buzzbait, cast far into the pads, and one rolls up on it, but misses it, I cast again. It hits it, not a big blast, but it hits it! I set the hook into a LOG! It gets to where I can see it, and it's prolly 12lbs, probably more! shortly after it goes into the weeds and BREAKS ME OFF (40lb braid)!!!

Remeber that bass the broke the spinnerbait off? I say it! jumped in the middle of the lake, and I heard the spinnerbait thrashing around. Probably a 7 - 9lb fish.

No more fast moving baits now (I didn't pack much) start throwing 10" worms and jerkbaits, I get two more fish both about 2, 3lbs.

They like fast moving baits! I know this now, so next time I'll do with a bunch of spinnerbaits, buzzbaits, and frogs.
