Bass Class Posted June 27, 2013 Posted June 27, 2013 Last year in August, i was fishing a black, yellow, and green strike king KVD frog when i got a slammin hit. A largemouth, probably about 6 lbs. took it. I managed to get it in about half way but then it took off into some heavy cover. I only had 10 lb. test on my reel so when i tried to break it free, the line snapped. But, anyway, it turned out to be a decent day. We managed to pull in a couple of 1-2 and a half pounders. By the way, i live in northwestern Washington, so a 6 lb. bass is a prize! Quote
Super User AK-Jax86 Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Wait so this trip was last year? When u were talking about how you lost the 6lber back in August I was thinking that u went out recently and caught it an got your lure back, now that would be a crazy story to tell! Quote

When i caught my first bass my pair of expensive pliers fell into the bottom of the lake. Then a couple of months later when i had forgot about it, i was fishing a jig and hooked into something. Believe it or not, it was my pliers! Quote

Hah that's crazy now u need to get that frog back and hook into that 6lber... And no matter where you live a 6lber is in the LUNKER category that's a nice size fish 1 Quote
Super User Tuckahoe Joe Posted June 27, 2013 Super User Posted June 27, 2013 Same thing happened to my wife just the other day. She was skimming a weightless lizard across the tops some lily pads and a bass hit it,wrapped her up, and ended up breaking off. I saw it hit and it looked to be a decent size but nowhere near 6lbs. Felt bad for her. It probably would have been her new personal best and her first topwater fish. Quote

Bass Class Posted August 3, 2013 Author Posted August 3, 2013 wen't fishing at terrell yesterday. no luck. missed a 4 pounder though. Quote
Super User BassinLou Posted August 3, 2013 Super User Posted August 3, 2013 Yeah, unfortunately you learned the hard way. Never ever, use light lb test when frog fishing. Yes, you may get away with wrestling with some dinks, but even a 4lbr in thick cover will pop your line. Minimum lbs that I use is 30 lb. PP. On a M/H rod. Minimum. Quote
