MaineBassMan Posted April 26, 2011 Posted April 26, 2011 He is a trooper we woke up to rain again this morning but there was no wind. I called him up and asked if he still wanted to go and he was like your dang right I do! Got love the spirit so I suited up and met up with him at the gas station. This guy hardly gets to go fishing and his tackle is made up of whatever essential bait that I told him he would need. Lets make a long story short; we fished in the river and he hooks into his largest bass ever, and it put up a nice fight. In fact it was kicking his butt but he overcame the obstacle and landed a nice 5lbs 05oz largemouth. This is his new PB! his Previous PB was 1lbs 08oz, a big bump up. He said that it was because of his excellent guide and I told him nope it was all you. He has only caught maybe 20 some odd bass in his life. He couldn't believe how much bigger a 5lbs bass looks and then he said I wonder what a 8 pound bass looks like, I said don't push your luck! Well here is the proud fisherman! He caught it on a Black and Blue 3/8 oz jig with an Okeechobee colored Rage Craw trailer. A few more from the day; Quote

MaineBassMan Posted April 27, 2011 Author Posted April 27, 2011 Thanks guys! He is a happy camper and already wants to plan another trip. I have to find away to fit him in between tournaments, plus my Grandfather wants to try and go fishing again after 5 years of not going because of health issues, plus my Great Uncle is fighting prostate cancer and he wants to go plus my father so I don't know how I am going to plan all these trips? Got another tournament This Saturday and it happens to be on part of this river system. I hope I can get on them like this during the tournament. Oh and ya he beat his PB three times in three cast; he caught a 2 pound bass then a 2 lbs 14 oz bass an then the 5 pound bass. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 28, 2011 Global Moderator Posted April 28, 2011 That's great! I find anymore I get just about as much enjoyment out of watching someone that is fishing with me catching fish as if I'm actually catching them myself. Quote
