not a monster but a nice fish none the less.
caught on an older jitterbug on a weed bed.

dont laugh at the life vest...im not the best swimmer

Nice bass. Love catching them on jitter bugs. Never feel bad about wearing a vest. I am 59 and used to be a good swimmer. Now I am not so sure of myself if I'd fall in water deeper that I can't stand in. I wear a vest now. Always better safe then dead. Oh ya, welcome to the nut house.

I wear one when I am on the water, big motor running or not. You just never know and is a small item that can save your life to fish again.

Nice Bass.

Wouldn't dream of laughing at the vest. Just goes to show you have sufficient working brain cells! Good for you.

That would be a great fish on our little lake. Hope I can put one or two that size in the boat tomorrow! Hubby took me to the woodshed on our last outing and I really must do better.

That is a good little chunk, makes the day fighter for sure!

And don't think many are gonna laugh at the vest, should be the smart move in everyone's book. I'm young, good swimmer, and pretty confidant in a boat, but night fishing I keep one on. Better safe than sorry. And it's really hard to get back into a bass boat, definately with a bunch of wet clothes.

I wear a vest always even hot weather if over my head,ky lake is bobbing and can actually pitch one out.Nice fish.
What river?

Thats a nice bass you have there, and no reason to feel funny about wearing the vest pal. All it takes is one wave from a passing boat to cause you to fall, hit your head on the way out of the boat knocking you out, and your in the obituaries.

thats how i feel as well along with the fact that im not a strong swimmer...even though its usually hard to swim when your knocked out cold!

Youve got some nice scrappy smallies nearby as well,Ive caught trout in pine and lil pine ,but years ago,also have fair share of timber rattlers.
