Wahoooo Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I finally got my first DD a few months back on a Jackall bluegill swimbait. I was cruising the shallows when I saw what at first I thought was a carp until she turned sideways and that is when I realized it was no carp but a big bass. I cast the bait past her and slowly started to work it past her and when I did she spun around on it and just looked at it. When I saw she didn't swim off I know I had a chance. I made another cast past her and stated to work it back slowly again and that is when I saw her open her mouth and watch my bait disappear. I stood there for half a second in shock before I set the hook. She took off thankfully for deeper water and not the thick grass and rocks that were really close(I only had 15lb test). Since I was fishing alone that day I start to look for my net so I could have it close when it comes time to land her and that is when I realized I had left it at home. I got her close to the boat a few times but she would not open her mouth and when I tried to grab her she would take off again. After a few more rounds of that she finaly opens hr mouth and I'm able to land her!!!! As soon as I got her in the boat I knew I had accomplished my goal I had set about 10 years ago. I put her on the digital scale and watch the weight go straight past 10lbs to 11 lbs and come to rest at 11.33 lbs. I have a some guys in a boat near me take a few pics for me before I put her back in the water and watch her swim away strong and healthy.

Wahoooo Posted July 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2013 Thank you guys... The cool/funny part is that my friend exactly a month earlier got a bass that went 10.12 lbs on the same lake which was his first also and we didn't have a net to land that bass either so I had to grab it for him. I'm starting to think I should start leaving the net at home if that means I will get more bites from bass that size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
