theonethatgotaway Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 congrads man not everyday you catch a 10 pounder how did you catch in fill us in Quote
Zseen Posted April 6, 2013 Author Posted April 6, 2013 Ok I guess I can tell.. lol I started out the morning at 6:45. It was little cool but the water temp was 53.6. Last week at this public lake I caught 25 small bass in 2 hours on this blue jerkbait. The past week has been cold and rainy, so I decided to start off with this same bait. First cast I caught a small one, under a pound. Second cast another small one, I was like looks like dink day lol Third cast I landed on the edge of a stump, I really thought I was going to hang one of those treble hooks in it, so i gave it a small jerk and paused for like 10 seconds or so. I was just thinking how I didn't get hung up there and BAM! FISH ON... She went straight to a deep water stump and ripping drag, I was thinking maybe 7 to 8 pounds, till I got it close to the boat. I swear you would of thought IKE was on the lake Ended up with 14 fish all small but 2 a 10lber and 3.5lber. You know people ask me all the time how do you fish so much, After I caught her i was shaking for at least 30 mins. Thats the reason I fish!!!! BTW I let her GO!!!! Looking at getting a Replica mount. 4 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted April 6, 2013 Super User Posted April 6, 2013 WOW! Nice catch! I hope to join you this year with my first double-digit! 1 Quote
Super User WRB Posted April 6, 2013 Super User Posted April 6, 2013 What was the actual weight or did you estimate the weight? That is a big jerk bait bass! Tom Quote
Fishing N Boots Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 Congrats! Those monsters sure are smart, it's most likely the pattern of stopping for 10 seconds before reeling that caught the sucker, not many people will have the patience to stop that long. I just hope 1 day I catch a hawg like that. Quote

BigBassBarry Posted April 7, 2013 Posted April 7, 2013 congrats!!! I know how you mean about the shaking. I caught an 11.2 last year (June 2012) and I could not fish afterward. My advice is enjoy it. For me at least it does not happen every day or every year for that matter. My last double digit before that was spring 1996. I released mine back as well it was hard to do at first, but once I did it I was glad. Quote
