Blooper Bass

[WaffleJaw]

I went out saturday morning for the 10th trip (9 trips in a row of completely skunked)......i went to an area where ive caught bass before..full of really thick reeds and rocks....the water was pretty shallow and the sun was coming up......after cutting off a rooster tail,i tied on a 3/0 hook with a purple u-tale,t-rigged.
on the second cast,the wind picked up and blew the worm about three feet deep into the reeds....great....it got wrapped around and locked up tight...i pulled and jerk...nothing....i was about to cut the line when i gave one last tug and snapped the reed and released the worm....i gave the reel one or two revolutions and it snagged up again tight......i put my head down in frustration....only to look up and see my line going all over the place....im like ''you gotta be kidding me''.....i watched in shock for about 4 seconds,when the voice in my head starts screaming ''SET THE HOOK IDIOT''..so did
he fought like a 6lber i swear,i even thought he was gonna snap the line on my 14lb trilene xt.......when i finally got him in,i didnt care about the size...it just felt good hittting a fish after so many skunked trips....i need to buy a scale really bad....but ill give him the 2lber range,lol
it just extremely weird how he hit the bait after all the thrashng i did to get the worm free
