6-8-07 10lb bass

Ok well I now have more time to make the post better so here is the story.

Well it was about 7:30pm and i just got done baby sitting this little boy we know.  I got some new fishing lures the day before and i wanted to try them out so i headed down to the lake to test them.  Well when i get there my neighbor is out on his boat and asks if I'd care to join him.  So i said sure and i got on.  We started fishing some stump fields and my neighbor pulls one out on a buzz bait.  Im fishing a texas rigged weightless worm.  Well i cast out an i hook into a nice 4lber or so but he decides to spit the hook.  So next cast i hook into a little dink and he also spits the hook.  So by now i was getting a little ticked.  Well a few casts later i catch a bass and he had to be the size of a freaking anchovie(sp).  Well I turn my chair around and start doing a few casts over a shallow flat that drops off to deep water where this one big tank of a bass has been sitting all year.  Well after a few casts there and no luck i decide to cast once more before we move on.  Well when the lure was about 10ft from the boat all of the sudden i see a dorsal fin come out of the water and a huge v-wake headed right to my worm.  Well  i stop reeling my worm and start to twitch it very lightly and BAM! She hits it.  My lines starts peeling out and the fights on.  Im using a 7ft Shakespeare Rod with a Shimano Synergy reel fishing with 10lb flourocarbon using a 3/0 red Gamigatsu Hook with a 4in Edge Worm on it.  Well she starts peeling out a good bit of line so i tell my neighbor to start following her and he does.  Well i finally get her to the boat and she starts shaking her head like crazy and heads to the back of the boat where my neighbor is sitting.  I yell " Grab her for me, Grab her for me, i cant reach her".  Well he finally gets her in the boat and the fight is over.  The fight probably didnt take all of 6-8 minutes but it felt like forever.  I was pretty stoked.  She had such long and sharp teeth on her i thank god i had flouro on and not mono b/c she would of ate right through mono.  The pics arent that great b/c i caught her just about at dark.  She will be headed to the taxidermist.  I have caught a couple more bass bigger than her but after a few minutes of my neighbor convinceing me i kept her.

Yeah Im loving the Flouro.  I only put flouro on my lighter rods with a little more action.  On my baitcaster i have a medium heavy action rod so i keep mono on it b/c i need to stretch in the line b/c of the stout rod but on my spinning gear i put flouro b/c the rod is not as stout and i dont want the stretch in the line.

Sweet!!! Im still looking for one like that. When my Pic's start comming out like that. Its time to change the batterys. Again, good catch!

[GeorgiaBassman]

was using my camera phone and it was just about pitch black.  I had to brighten up the pic a ton so that you could even see me.

That thing is a hog! She will look great on the wall. Have you tried braid for fishing worms? The no stretch amkes an amazing difference, i doubted it until i tried it, but consider me convinced! Nice fish.

[GeorgiaBassman]

I use flourocarbon, i dont like braided line.
