I caught a largemouth bass with with an oar. I was rowing through some riffles and my oar flipped a bass out of the water and onto my sister. She wasn't happy, but I was.

 Was it you?

Ha! I wouldn't want that curse. When you win that big, thousands of strangers feel free to beg you for money. 

 

Wait. I could take the money, build a 500-acre lake, hire Bob and Alex to raise giant bass, and live on an island. Tim could be the admiral of my Navy, which would patrol the water to let me fish in peace.

Speaking of the lottery,  I've got a perfect record.  I've never lost.  (I've never won either)   LOL.  Someday I might buy a ticket, but I'd be heartbroke if I didn't win.

That rates a WOW! That looks like an HO scale swimbait. ☺️

I have an ongoing battle with Beavers, there is no way I'd get close enough to unhook one lol.

 

Being a Night Basser, these things will ruin whole sections of the lake trying to scare you away with tail slaps, not to mention it startles you.   

 

Birds, sure.....turtles, okay......Beaver/Snake/Gator CUT THE LINE NOW ?

Yep!   Nothing like a tail slap in the middle of the night when you are not expecting it to sober you up!

Katy, if you built a 500 acre lake, you are never getting rid of me, Tim, and Alex. You would have to listen to "Oh God, Oh God, please stay hooked, please stay hooked....." daily!

So it's not like I was stroking it or anything. Also, this isn't some super sharp, light wire hook either. This little guy was so tiny and light, I just don't know how I managed to pierce it considering all those factors. 

 

 

I give. You have us all beat for smallest bass. That looks like a mortal wound, but if it isn't, i'd stay away from that lake, and I durn sure wouldn't swim in it. Thems some mean big-mouths!
