Mr. Aquarium Posted April 5, 2022 Posted April 5, 2022 Finally got my goal bass, I’ve been hunting this fish for years. Countless hours and heartbreaks. I started out waking up at 430 am, feeling like crap, mixture of expired cheese and a couple of beers the night before. Almost didn’t go, but I said I have to, I wouldn’t catch my dream fish sleeping in. Got to the spot at 7 am. I got a small bass just shy of 3 on the DS glide. Few cast later I caught this giant. Didn’t know she was this big until I weighed her, thought it was a 6er maybe 7. She hit the glide along a drop off to a spawning flat. Slowly worked, she just nipped the hook, only one hook point in the top lip. She went 8lbs 2 ounces 22 inches. I’m so happy to finally break 8lbs in MA! I needed to change my undies after that fish 29 Quote

padlin Posted April 6, 2022 Posted April 6, 2022 Have you noticed a tendency to return to the spot of a good catch, over and over? I do, takes a lot of nothings before I stop. 1 Quote

I do, takes a lot of nothings before I stop. I’ve been learning this spot for years. Right now it’s prime time to stick the giants here. Just gota get out there and fish. It’s a hot bite, so I’ll keep grind it until it stops Quote
