A new PB and one for S-B.com/Striper Cup Team
I caught a forty seven inch 42.4 pound bass this morning at the ditch. I even had two witnesses, which was kind of nice even though they are not the least bit unbiased. Pictures to follow I hope in upload. It was kind of funny how it hooked up. Figuring how hard it might be to get my 275 #'s off balance this fish did it. Almost pulled me over forward when it hit the plug, because who new this was going to be my day, I sure didn't have any idea. When it did hit the plug the fish came out of the water completely. Everybody saw the leap that was in the area. Several of the regulars commented later that they never saw a fish that big jump clear out of the water. The accompanying splash was pissa.

Good for you Swimmer.....
..your thread is a good answer to the thread created earlier...."What it takes to be a Great fisherman".......
Time on the water (being a HUGE factor), which from what I've read, you've been doing quite admirably.
Congratulations on your PB.  |
 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

Nice fish. Congrats on the PB and just think, there are even bigger fish to fry! That's taken one for the TEAM.
