Today
 
Just thought I'd share this. I've been having an amazing season bass fishing from shore this year. So far I have 38 fish in 7 trips, average fish being 2 lbs, biggest just over 4, all on rubber worms and lizards. Today I was at my spot and a girl and her boyfriend came down to fish, which is unusual because I never see anyone there, but anyways, they weren't hooking up so I threw them some worms and lizards and told them how to fish them. Her boyfriend was clueless, but the girl got the casting down... I was thoroughly impressed. I already had 4 small fish, but she ended up hooking a monster on a lizard. Her drag was broken so she couldn't get the fish in. I told her BF to reel it in by hand and he yanked it and the hook straightened :wall: But she was thrilled and you know how it goes with girls, it's great to see them fishing. I had an extra rod in my truck that I hardly use so I gave it to her and told her to keep it. The expression on her face was priceless.

I may have compromised my honey hole, but I think it was worth it. And I ended up with 6 fish( nothing big) before I left so I was content :) Just thought I'd share...

haha thanks Mike, but no more :buds: for me...

Oh and one other highlight of the day: her BF telling me, "my only problem with fishing is that once you hook a fish, they become afraid to eat and will starve to death." I just rolled my eyes and proceeded to bang 4 fish right in front of him :fishin:

Awesome, Bart! That was very nice of you to help them out. That's what fishing should be.

So today was interesting. I went down early to pick up trash that a bunch of jamokes left behind down the way from where I fish. Ended up falling in the water, phone chit the bed :rollem: So I ran home, got changed then went back. It was pretty slow, only managed 3 small fish. But I threw out the lizard right before I was about to leave and hooked a fish. I knew it was a fish because I could feel the head shakes. Ended up dropping the fish, but still had a little weight on the end of my line so I thought I might have snagged a branch on the retrieve. I reel it in and my pig and jig that I lost yesterday to fish was hanging off the lizard! Tied the pig and jig on for the walk back and hooked up with a fish, but broke off the jig :rollem: I think the eye of the jig is cutting through the 15 lb. braid, need to grab some snaps. Still a great day. And I picked up about 10lbs worth of trash! Dirtbags....

Alright, now I'm embarrassed that I said the fishing has been so good for me after seeing RoyL's 8 pounder on FB. Congrats on a true trophy...
