Sounds like a nice catch heres the story how I got lucky and caught my first bass.
I went out fishing on a day the weather went wild. It was nice then rain then snow. I got to the pond next to my house when it was nice out. I threw out a worm I am not sure what I should call the rig I used. I Fished all day till it started to snow. I then was getting ready to leave when i casted out one more time and caught my first bass it was 4lbs. It might not be to big but I also had a big adrenaline rush when I hooked that fish.
