As long as you don't forget the fish...
Nice fish, congratulation. BTW I like your rod... it looks nice and light

Nice Stick :D Oh yeah, fish is pretty nice too. Too bad we got only got to watch Milo winching in fish..............

Good going mrmacey!
persistence pays off :)
I like the new rod, you definately will get better distance with that.
I broke the ice this AM also with my first canal bass of the year while jigging next to JPowers, then I got 5 more. Jim got a bass on a plug and a couple on jigs.

:btu:

Gotta love those Storm Shads....

jeeze, i wish i could fish every morning before school.
good going on the bass. i really like the rod. what reel is that on there?

Great Job Mike!:btu:

It's always nice to break the ice!...

Congrats to Slip as well!

i
 

can only compare that type fishing this morning to those freezing days in febuary down the thames when i catch fish like that you know there here in numbers that rod is a 10' lamiglass triflex very lite compared to my 30.00 walmart jobs that broke everytime out the reel is a stradic 6000 from capesam awsome deal thank you i finally figured out the storm shads!!!! the fish had to be under them!!:smash:

Them Storm's produce!...

Just try running them at different depths & colors!

I'm going to be trying their squid jigs soon!

I got a bunch of em over the winter! :)

I'm still trying to figure those Storm's out myself. Have yet to catch a fish on one of them. I've tried bouncing them and even trolling them. I have the 4" ones in the goldish (forget the exact name), should I try a bigger size/different color?????:confused:

Nice fish by the way mrmacy!:D

ive caught tuns on storm shads, they are 2nd in my rotation.
mr macy, i have the same rod,only difference is its a two piece built as a convench.

good for you MM :D :D :D

glad to see some of my mojo from the reel rubbed off on ya:kewl:

Yup!

You should pick up some different sizes & colors...

The 4'' Bunker have been great for striped bass!

I would like to try their 9" shads...

I'm sure that they would produce!

The only problem is that Bluefish love em too!...

I'm sure Clammer can share about his affection for the species...

#$%&^* Bluefish :AF:. Tore up my last wildeye in the middle of a mixed school of Bass and Blues...............

They are OK when you are ready for them though.

Good job Mr. Macey.

:kewl:

well done Mr. Macey!!
 

you hung in there and persaverance finally paid off. Nice going!!
great picture by the way...and i see what ya mean about the size of the bass compared to a man "your" size. But having personally met you i know just how" BIG " that bass is. Take a tape measure and make a 30" inch mark on your rod now that you have your confidence for the next time.:wavey:

way to go mike!!!
 

now that you hooked up you'll really be addicted. congrats mike!

nice job MIKE so I guess you'll be sellin the boat now ,huh:smash: :laughs:

way to go:) I sure hope to get my first keepa soon!!

Congrats on the fish, taking them out of the ditch is a whole new world, I'm going to be visiting it soon myself.
