It makes me want to go back even more now, that bass beat me and now I got to lick my wounds and get back out and try again. I caught 5 smallies and they all stayed on but the big boy has to be the one to get away. I guess they don't get big being dumb.
You are right. It also adds to the experience for me because I have never really had a "one that got away" until now. it tells me that this creek I found does hold nice size fish. I was fishing with a Zoom purple trick worm with a brad nail in the head for a faster sinking action. Working it fast and casting along the shadows and shore line.
Fishing the bank at a local creek and its about 5:30pm. Shadows from trees cast over pond making perfect ambush points for bass. I drop a Purple Zoom trick worm at the edge of the shadows and work it slow. A nice bass (4 or 5 lbs) nails it and I get him to shore. As I am about to grab him he sees me and makes one last fight. He goes into the grass on the bank and I get my foot soaked trying to keep him out of the weeds. HE hangs me up and gets off. I Still feel like crap about it. The fight was good and he busted the water and everything. This would have been my biggest bass in North Florida.
