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.

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?????

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...

Thumbs up 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.
