Bassthumb!!!

Vabass22 · 08-25-06, 08:50 PM

I finally have a case of bass thumb!!!!!!! I know it kmight not sound like a big deal to yall, but Before, I would catch nothing, and today I caught 4, and my dad caught one! Mine were 13", 12" 8", and 17", while my dads was 12.5". All caught the the straight end of a black powerworm, rigged like a grub, this is my go to bait for muddy farm ponds. Will post pics when I get them developed. The 17 incher gave quite an airshow!

Ain't that a great feeling? Good job on the fish!

Vabass22 · 08-25-06, 09:48 PM

Thanks guys, it sure is a great feeling, by the end of the day, I finally figured out how to set the hook properly, so I wouldn't lose any.

High 5 Ironman!!! I knew you'd get the hang of it. Looking foreward to seeing the pics. The way you are eager to learn and willing to spend the time on the water practicing the craft, I know you'll have more and even better days like this ahead. Good goin kid!!

It was Vabass22 not me.

Good job man!

Vabass22 · 08-26-06, 10:06 PM

Thanks, and I am going back tomorrow, withs some different colors, to try, and some renegade worms to use too. We are getting some nice rain, so the water will be up, and I hope to be able to fish deeper, and keep this case of bass thumb!
By the way, does anyone know of a cure?

skeeter944 · 08-26-06, 11:17 PM

well, usaully when the water rise,the bass move shallower,and when it falls,they go deeper.

Vabass22 · 08-27-06, 09:45 AM

Well, this pond is like one acre, so I just move myelf around the pond, fish the whole place, and then go back and fish where I caught any. I doubt this pond is any deeper than 5 feet in the middle

crankybait · 08-27-06, 11:41 AM

Why would you want a cure?

Vabass22 · 08-27-06, 12:05 PM

I was being sarcastic! Don't worry, I wear my bass thunb with mucho grande pride!

Vabass22 · 08-27-06, 08:30 PM

Went out today, cuaght a bazillion and a half dinks, and then my dad layed in to what we thought would go 5+ lbs. He fought it in, took him a minute, amd he went close to 19 inches. A couple of dinks later, I said last cast, and caught n e that went about 15".

ironman · 08-27-06, 08:31 PM

Not bad fishing right there.

Vabass22 · 08-27-06, 08:50 PM

Yeah man, you ever up here, you tell me, and I'll take you out to my honey hole. That goes for any of yall. My only rules are that you don't keep any fish, and you don't tell nobody where it is.

ironman · 08-27-06, 08:53 PM

Will do VA.

Want a serious case of "Thumb"? Like this...

(Not MY thumb, BTW, I keep my nails clean and tidy.)

Well, just close the bolt (without following instructions) on one of these.
