Should I keep this in my previous fishing report post?
I decided to buy some YUM Wooly Bugs in Green Pumpkin color today. I am soooo happy that I did. I went to that same pond and on my third cast I had a big one on. I lost him. Not a good enough hookset.
Then I went to the nearby lake and boy was it windy, wet, and cold, but it was well worth it. I am really starting to gain confidence in many baits. I've never caught bass on a texas rig before last week.

1st Smallie?!?!?!?

I let my dad borrow a hook, weight, and wooly hog. It worked!

This is my new favorite bait.



All of these fish were small except for the first one I lost. (3rd Cast)

Smallie Story-
1st of all - is that really a smallie? Too good to be true. It fought like a 16" largemouth.
I was letting my dad borrow my rig. I said "Let me show you how I fish this for one cast." So I said "Let it sink. When it hits the bottom, twitch it maybe three times, let it sit for a second, lift it- BAM!" During the demonstration I got my first smallie. My dad said, yeah that is sure the way to fish it.

All of these posts. All of these new experiences. Thank you guys sooo much for helping me out. It's really paying off.

P.S. - I got my first fish on a superfluke!
