First Nice Largemouth =D

[Sniffles]

Went out friday evening to kick off my labor day weekend at a local small lake.

Had no luck at first, after about an hour on the water I kinda just got into expecting not to catch anything and propped my feet up on the yak, still casting away.

Ive caught plenty of Small mouth, nice ones. but where I live large mouth at far and few between especially anything over a pound.

After one heck of a fight I got to pull this guy out of the water.

I was very happy, not smiling because I was trying to hold him and take the picture with my phone!

Cant wait to catch another!!

Oh thats a very nice bass, good catch.

[GoneFishi'n]

YEP!!! That's a GOOD fish and whether you were intense and On Point, or relaxed and kickin' back... you got the job done and that's what counts, WTG

How do those work out? I've been eye balling them, but they feel kind of stiff.

I used to stick with the Gary Yamamoto' Senkos. And did good with them.

However Ive caught more and bigger fish with the Gander Mountain Senkos. And the little added stiffness tends to keep my worm on for a couple more uses. Not to mention its cheaper for more. and They come with a free Hook in each pack!

I think the original Senko is a rip off anymore. Yum Dingers dominate over the Senko for me. Same if not better action, cheaper, and more in a pack.

Fantastic!!! Awesome catch, man!

Thanks alot BA72 as of today I now own yet another soft plastic that I probably don't need.

I work 5 mins from a Bass Pro shops and stopped in there for lunch and bought some purple Yum Dingers!

Even though I am so close to it I generaly do a great job of not getting carried away.

Gander Mountain is farily close as well but I will avoid it for a while.

Do you hook directly through the worm or do you use one of those o-ring type of deals?

I wonder if they would last longer with the o-ring.

I've got tons of brand new packs of those rubber band things from my kids's retainers.

I've always meant to try them but haven't gotten around to it.

I have used them as holders for holding those glow sticks on slip bobbers and they work well for that.

With Yamamoto senkos I use the orings, because they are a bit softer and will tear off on a far cast. With the Gander brand I haven't needed to use anything. I just hook direct to worm
