Super User tomustang Posted September 2, 2011 Super User Posted September 2, 2011 My local lake has been a big disappointment this summer, I still went up there nonetheless. It's not a big lake, or is deep, and pickerel outnumber the bass It was getting late in the day, to the point where I didn't feel like going out. The rivers are still mucked up since the Irene flooding so the local lake is the only place closest to us. My wife and I spent a good half-hour throwing soft plastics around till we stopped on one of the piers and I decided to try something different, I was thinking one of my spinners, but chose a crankbait. Good idea on my part, 2nd cast out something tugged back, felt heavy (for that lake, atleast), turned out to be a LMB, surprisingly. Best part it's my personal best bass since fishing for little over a year now. Figure I reached my 3rd goal this year, time to make new ones 22", 5lb 2oz (cheapo berkley scale) Of course I get the "I've seen bigger here" from someone, funny thing is it's the same talk I always here up there, though many barely catch anything.

Super User tomustang Posted September 3, 2011 Author Super User Posted September 3, 2011 Thanks for all the comment everyone! You got it Dwight,'quality' is it, the norm around here is 2-3lb and even 4lbs is called luck As for fishing with my wife, we're like peas and carrots when angling. She's a bit upset since I got it instead of her, and she should be, she was fishing the exact area but moved on! Quote
