Popular Post Plottman1974 Posted March 16, 2021 Popular Post Posted March 16, 2021 Saturday, my son's 16 year old girlfriend wanted to go fishing. I practiced casting with her 3-4 times in the yard and explained how to set the hook. We went to a neighborhood pond near my house that I fish regularly for her to practice casting and then we were going to go to a better location. Usually the pond is good for a 1 pounder, or maybe two one pounders at most. She cast out and I was explaining to her how to use a nedrig when suddenly the drag started screaming. She reeled it in and this is what she caught....First ever fishing trip and first cast...she didn't even set the hook. 6 pounds 7 ounces. I told her she may have caught the biggest first cast bass in history. 39 1 Quote

Super User Darth-Baiter Posted March 16, 2021 Super User Posted March 16, 2021 Great fish. Great great fish. those needle like Ned-hooks are awesome. I don’t really set the hook either. I just reel in and lift rod. Quote
FishinBuck07 Posted March 16, 2021 Posted March 16, 2021 She is hooked for life! Once you feel that tugging at the end of the line you always want that feeling! Quote
Super User BrianMDTX Posted March 16, 2021 Super User Posted March 16, 2021 That’s really a good looking bass. Not all of them look as good as others. That’s a fish to be proud of right there! Quote

Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted March 17, 2021 Global Moderator Posted March 17, 2021 "This fishing stuff is easy, why do guys make such a big deal about it?" Your son's girlfriend, probably Congrats to her 5 Quote
Plottman1974 Posted March 17, 2021 Author Posted March 17, 2021 Thanks for the replies. She didn't see it as a big thing because she has no reference....My son and I explained that people go their entire life and never catch a 6+ pound bass but she didn't seem to get it. Quote
