Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Started off my year by landing my personal best. I estimated this bad boys weight at around 7 pds. Not to bad Quote

Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 16, 2010 Author Posted January 16, 2010 No i let it go..i had to lay it down to get the treble hooks out and take a picture .Only had my camera phone with me and no self timer so i couldn't hold the fish and take a picture. Quote

Ima Bass Ninja Posted January 16, 2010 Author Posted January 16, 2010 The cheapest rattle trap i had. That's what makes this story kinda funny . I have a pond i get to fish and i really didn't think there were any big bass in it, just some blue gill and crappie. I have caught really small bass before but they were tiny. I was out just checking to see if the ice had melted off the top from the cold we have had lately. I had my ultra light and the worst bait caster you could imagine. Its a shakespeare (from walmart) and a cherry wood rod (also from walmart, notice the custom grip job lol). And i decided to just throw it a few times to see what would happen. On the 3rd cast...BAM!!! she hit it and at first i thought it was a stump until i realized that stumps don't swim away. It was a great thing except i was alone. Kinda like gettin a hole in one playin by yourself. thank goodness for camera phones. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 16, 2010 Super User Posted January 16, 2010 The cheapest rattle trap i had. ..................... thank goodness for camera phones. Wow - great fish and a nice catch for this time of year. The last couple fish I caught here before things shut down were on a lipless crank as well. You bet on the cell phones - I usually fish alone and wish my cell phone took better photos but it's better than nothing! My avatar photo is a cell phone image... Quote
