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.
