NEBassMan Posted November 26, 2006 Author Posted November 26, 2006 AND REWARD THEY DID!!!!!!! WITH A NEW PERSONAL BEST!!!!! Well, the morning started ssssllllooooowwwww. Water temp was 42 degrees. Got on the water at 8am and didn't get a bite until Noon, when this little guy hit an X-rap 10 Now, these pictures do not convey very well how big this fish was. I know this isn't very big to most of you guys, but here in Nebraska on my farm pond...i think this fish might be "Big Mama" of the whole pond. It's my new personal best. I wish i had someone else to take the pic or would have thought of the self timer function so i could have got myself in it as well. Oh well, next one i'll have video!!! 3lbs - 15oz......yes, 1oz shy of 4lbs...i wish she would have grabbed another little sunfish on her way to chomp my Norman Deep Baby N.....oh well...i'm still giddy!!! And a nice little bonus fish to top off the day...he hit an X-rap 10 as well All in all, i had a great time today, and can't wait to get out again!!! Jason Quote

Guest avid Posted December 6, 2006 Posted December 6, 2006 I'm always glad to hear about a new PB. It's kinda the big motivator for non tourny guys. And you had to brave the elements to get it too. Good for you man, good for you. Quote
