New PB and Personal First!

[Panthrosan]

Had a personal first and personal best today. Today my buddy and I decided to take a change of pace and visit a local pond we haven't been to since last September. I have usually had some success there with a few fish in a few hours averaging about 1-1.5 pounds but most smaller. This pond requires about a mile hike in along a nature trail which means it isn't heavily pressured which usually means a fun day. Little did I know what to expect today. I had my new favorite spinner bait already tied on my baitcaster, a Strike King in white, and was rearing to go when we got to the pond. My buddy was didly dadling along getting his rod set up so I reared back and heaved my lure out just past the midway point of the pond. My buddy then proceeds to tell me I'm an a$$ for casting before he was ready but before I could even mouth a reply I was 3 reels in on my retrieve when my spinnerbait got WALLOPED and the only thing that made it out of my mouth was HOLY !@#$!!!!! Got Her ashore about a minute and a half later and I just kept saying....."That is the biggest bass I have ever caught." Weighed her up and lo and behold I had my new Personal Best bass on the very first cast of the day which is also a first for me. She tipped the scales at 5.4 pounds with a belly that was a sight to behold and barely held still for the weighing let alone the required picture. It was almost 4 hours ago and I am still grinning and just keep nodding my head going "Damn this feels good." Sorry for the rambling, I just can't help myself.
