Got one...

And it's the first bass on my new casting rig! Woulda' been nice if he was a bit bigger, but I am not complaining. It was really just nice to catch a fish after being sick, and my slump (Which started before I got sick).

I hooked up with another one that was maybe twice the size of this one, but the knot broke at the hook and he swam away with it...

I got my worm back though!

I have caught more than I can remember on spinning gear, but this was my first on a bait caster. I have caught many fish with ocean casters, but this is a new deal for me. I have to say, after the first fish, I am hooked on the caster!

Thanks!

Once you get used to a baitcaster, you won't want to fish with a spinning reel anymore, lol. Congrats on breaking in the new rig!

Well done! It's always nice to get that first one off your back and out of the way.
