First post. Nice board.
Just found the place last night and it looks like a good spot! I am a rank amature with a good buddy who has turned me on to bass fishing. Last May, just a few months in, I got unbelievably lucky and caught a ten pounder. So I am hooked, if not officially spoiled. Birmingham, Alabama is home. I'm looking forward to learning a bunch from you folks!

Here's a couple taken with a cell phone
I'll probably spend the rest of my life trying to duplicate that feeling!

It blew me away. We were on a private lake I've learned has perfect conditions/cover and gets little to no pressure. I had caught four or five 1-2 pounders early in the day and then went about three hours without a strike. Caught it on one of the last casts of the evening before dark on a $1 wal mart cheapie buzz bait that I had literally been making fun of a minute before. I was reeling it slowly under the surface and all of a sudden it gradually but firmly moved away from me. Not a huge impactful strike at all. After a second, I was like "Chris, I think this is a big fish." I saw the boil and then Sonofgun jumped and I almost crapped my pants. Still rocks my world.

Nothing says excitement like almost crapping your pants. Because crapping you pants would be an embarrassment. Nice fish CIS.

Welcome to the boards, and WOW...nice fish!!!
I've been bass fishing for 10 years here in MN and just got my first 5 pounder (5lb 3oz) in 2009. If the MN state record LM is only 8-15, that means a 5-3 here is the equivalent of a 10 pounder in AL.....right?!? |
