GoneFishi'n Posted March 9, 2013 Posted March 9, 2013 Me, my Dad, and my friend went out in my dad's new boat which is a new boat to us. We went to lake Lanier and man was it windy. There was 15-25mph wind and the current was rough. We passed some humps and thought that we needed to go back and drift over it. Drifted over the humps and my dad got a huge hit. He set the hook and missed it. He then casted again to see if he could hook up and wouldn't you know it he did. It was a 4 pound 1 oz spotted bass. This was are first time out in our new boat. It was exciting to say the least. We expect to have many more fun trips in this boat. PS: Do you guys think that it had a big belly from bait fish? Or eggs. Just wondering. And here are some pics of the new boat. It's not the prettiest, but it is an awsome boat for freshwater and the bay. Don't mind my dad haha. Now we don't have to worry about fixing anything for a while! Please don't move this thread to boating section because most of the pictures are when we were either putting the boat in for the first time or catching the fish. Thanks! Quote
