My Name's Chris Too!!!

[preach4bass]

After reading Chris Fish's posts the last two days, I'm almost embarrased to tell ya'll this :-[ (not really). A guy in our Church owns a pond this is absolutely amazing. I've caught 3 bass over 8lbs. and one that weighed 7-15 out of it. He's told me that there were bigger ones in it, and I found that out today. When I got there I peeped under a couple of docks that he has and under one of them there were about a dozen nice bass (nice for me is over 3 pounds), and then there was one GIANT. I've never caught, held, or even seen a 10-pounder in real life until today. This bass was HUGE. I knew it was a bass of a lifetime for me, so I decided to fish specifically for it. I recon the best way to describe it is that we had our rounds:

Round 1:

I pitched a texas-rigged lizzard past it and a dink (3-2) snagged it. I don't normally call bass over three pounds dinks, but it looked like a flea when it swam past the biggun.

Round 2:

I tried one of those Dean Rojas frogs, and on the first cast she drilled it . I watched her coming after it, watched her inhale it, and before I felt her I jerked it right out of her mouth :'(. I tried the frog for about 20 more minutes, but she wasn't interested.

Round 3:

I threw a crawdad crankbait past her and reeled it about as slow as possible. She grabbed it . I set the hook (just like you're supposed to). But, she popped off :'(

Round 4:

I threw the crawdad crankbait past her a second time, and she chased it again. Just about the time she would have reached it I snagged some old fishing line connected to a minnow bucket and she ran. That messed the whole spot up.

Round 5:

I threw every bait I own, in every color, in every size, and fished it every way. She didn't budge.

The first five episodes of this saga took over three hours. Round 6 will hopefully occur tomorrow afternoon. Now, I didn't catch the bass I was after, but I did catch 11 other ones in the process. The biggest I caught weighed 5-4, which to me is still big. My five biggest combined to weigh 13-15. That's nice, but I'm going back for that one fish that could possibly weigh that herself!!!

It ain't no Fish Chris story, but my name is Chris too ;D

Chris thanks for the PM but I don't know if I can tell you how to catch that

fish. It's going to be hard to do with all the other fish around her ( Just luck if she bites first ) You really need to carrie me to the pond and I will try to show you. ;D

i wouldn't go there every single day targetting that one specific fish and throw everything at her because she may become lure shy. I would wait a little while longer and make sure the conditions are right and be very careful when you get hooked up. Good luck
