I slimed some new gear.!

[Darth-Baiter]

I went to a undisclosed location and found warm waters.  61 deg actually.  fish were bedded but not aggressive.  but the ones hanging out deeper "thinking about love" were.  we got lots.  not many big fish, but it was a slugfest.  

 

fun story, and it is true.  I hooked a bass and it immediately dives into my friends fishing line.  he opens his bail and I fight the mess to me.  first order of business was to take the jerkbait out and free the fish.  I let it go and work on the tangle.  my friends line was still in the water.  as I am picking out the mess in my trebles, the lure almost JERKS into my hand!!  I tell my friend, "I think a bass just hit the other jerk bait!".  they think I am nuts, but we convene and I hand him his line and say, "start hand-lining".  he pulls up another bass, which I was quick to take credit for.  well, half credit.

 

jerk bait bite was en Fuego.!

 

I fully got a BFS fish.. cast, hookset to the fight.  success.

and I fully slimed my new Curado MGL150.  good reel.  a few backlashes from growing pains..but whatever.  its our ritual.  I like the drag on it.  it seems to stay right were I leave it.  (might be mental)\\

 

not sure you all need pics of 1lb bass.
