Broke out of the slump

[the reel ess]

I looked back at my "big fish" log and I had not caught a 3+lb. bass since 5 weeks prior. I went this morning and ended the skid, at least temporarily. I got the the 4 lb 9 oz in the pics right off the bat on a spinnerbait. You can see it had a green worm in it's throat. I didn't get a nibble for the next 2 hours. I came up to a spot that I've lost a monster at before and tossed the shaky head worm. The fish apparently took it on the drop. It was a good fight. I had to hold my drag a couple times to keep it out of lilies and brush. I finally landed it. 6 lb 8 oz. I went to remove the hook and the hook point wasn't even out of the worm. The jighead was just lodged in the fish's gills. Right after I weighed it I was trying to get my camera ready for the pic and let the bass slip out of my hand. No pic.? I caught another 3 lb. on a frog and a couple dinks on the Whopper Plopper 110 and shaky head. I know 5 fish doesn't seem like many, and it isn't. But I'll take it any day. I was actually prepared to be quite happy with just the 4-9 bass.

Nice fish, that 6lb 8ozer would have made my day and then some. My son got a 4lb 8oz when he got to flip a big stick-up in the river the other day, I was sad it wasn't my turn to fish it. Did you get the worm out of the basses throat? Again congrats   Dave

Absolutely.
