I thought I caught a rock until it started twitching. Then the line zinged and zinged..... and zinged....
my friend, acting silly in the first pic, had never been fishing for bass before. I can't imagine if I started today.
I gave plenty away and will have more than enough for the rest of the summer. I wont need another keeper until the fall

41.5 inches not sure of what it weighed.. we are guessing between 25-30lbs... guesses welcomed please.
its been a long summer full of dinks, this has re energized my
efforts. maybe the NJ fish are moving on up
took about 10 minutes to drag in...I had to shut the motor off because we were in 8ft of water with huge boulders right below the surface. it dragged us for a good 3 minute ride.
The power of these fish is unbelievable.
this is my best by over 10 inches. We were very excited.
in the boat at the launch
showing of my pipes
and the measurement is in... I am buying a scale tomorrow!
time to get building . she had two of these in her
not as exciting as bassy's stories... but was exciting none the less.
