Thats a great story sandman!!
I don't rember my first but I went years before ever getting my first keeper!! (36")
I was so mad that I had been fishing for 4 years and never got a keeper and all my friends had.
Well in 1994 I bought my first boat a 1962 17' Hawkline, had a 1972 60hp Johnson A friend of mine who is a great bass fisherman had no boat but had been out with others who did and they fished Chatam.
One day in July 1995 off Monomy we were fishing some rips (first time for me) and were getting some nice fish, but no keepers
Well there was this sand bar with some wave crashing on it and my buddy said lets try that over there? So we were off.
I was using eels for the first time and we started a drift and bam my friend got a 39" bass I got a 30" again I was mad here my buddy was getting a keeper and I another short. Well he said were there is one there are two so again we started a drift and bam I got a hit and after a nice fight I had my First Keeper a 37" nice bass.
I was so excited that I wanted another try so I drove full steam ahead stright thur ths school!! And as the wave was curling I was on top of it ans I saw the whole school swiming with us right on to the sand bar!!! Must have been 30 fish down there it was great site to see i can still see it today in my mind!!
But I learned that day never to run thur the school go around as they were the last fish we would catch that day!! But what a day it was.
