Thumbs up Bassmaster Sighting

I was fishing along the south side of the cape Saturday morning and had the spot pretty much all to myself when along came another fisherman. Taking a second look I realized it was the one and only Bassmaster. Whoa I was a little surprised to see him. Maybe not because of the location but hey it was 8:30 in the morning I guess I thought of BM as more of a night owl. Dave passed along a tip on his way out to his preferred spot at this location and I put his tip into action and proceded to catch a nice fish. It was great as the fish exploded on the plug right near me on the surface so I I saw it all. Cool. This was just as the fog was burning off and it was starting to look like it was going to be a good day. Hey blue sky and sun who cares if I catch a fish I am just happy to see sun after a week like this one past.

Well BM stopped on his way back and I told him his tip payed off and then he proceded to give me and another angler that had arrived in the interim an excellent lesson in plug fishing. Thanks for that!!!

Then we get back to the parking area and that is when it happened. I got Ho'd or wait was it BM that got Ho'd Thanks a bunch for the sweet plug!!

I just wanted to let you know I went out later that night and put it into action at the spot I mentioned. It paid off and I got my first legal keeper of the season on your plug! Not huge but still a nice 30" fish. I was just sloooowly reeling it along near the surface when the fish nailed it. Hope to get many more on it. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute. A BM sighting during regular people hours? He must be sick...
