Best things about fishing for me.....a beginner bass fishing enthusiast trying to learn new stuff.
Learning something new and getting results. Recently watched a video on fishing topwater spooks. Went out and got a couple and worked on getting the action down for awhile. Last week caught a nice 3.5 lb'er that just killed it. Was such a rush. Up north here 3.5 lb'er is a decent fish..not huge but good. My wife thought it was a monster but there are lots bigger. The next best thing will be to see her catch something decent. She gives me all the time in the world to fish without grief so I am a lucky man.
Hardest part is having the patience to stick with something new till you get some results. If you never catch anything then it is hard to gain that confidence to use it when the time is right.
