I spend my summer fishing for striped bass, and yesterday my buddy asks me if I want to go to a small local lake and fish on ultra light tackle. So we went to the lake with our 4 1/2 foot rods and reels that hold about 50 yards of 4 pound test. After a while my buddy starts complaing about the lack of fish (0 fish to that point), and then my drag starts screaming. I fought it and landed it after a big fight and it turns out to be a 6# largemouth bass, my largest fish of the year, salt or fresh water. Figures. Maybe I should start fishing for sea bass, maybe then I could find another striper. :huh:

Please refer to Largemouth-Bass.com!:laughs:

Seriously though....nice fish!:btu: Got any pics?:confused:

Good Stuff :kewl:

LMB, or SMB, on light tackle, can't beat it.
Not trying to stir anything up here, but, one of them critters on light tackle, will usually give you more fight than a "keeper" size striper on most of the gear we surf guys use.

I actually don't have any pics. We weren't expecting to catch anything more than a few panfish and maybe a couple of small bass, so we didn't bother bringing the camera.
