Best Day EVER! 3/25/07 (Pics)

[jooleyen]

I had a half day of school on Thursday, and no school Friday.
I went on a fishing mini-vacation.
The last day was by far the best.


This probably doesn't sound so exciting to you guys, but it is for me.

1. I haven't been able to catch a bass in about 6 months.
2. I've never caught a bass on my new setup.
3. I've never sight fished before.

Well, I went to my grandpa's friend's private lake. That's the only place I know of where it's legal to catch bass right now.

I'm sure you guys have all had this feeling, but I had to share it. I can't explain it. I've been trying to learn everything I can about bass for the past 6 months, and I haven't really caught many bass at all. It's my favorite thing to do, and this is one of the first times I've done it.

The weather was beautiful and everything was going GREAT!
I only caught three bass, but that's plenty for me.

I caught a HOG (Not HAWG) for Wisconsin. The fish calculator said it was about 4 Pounds 3 Ounces!!!...



I caught 2 more. They were both about 12".



I had one bite on a 3.5 inch white tube, but all of them were caught on a Blue Neon & Black Riverside Plastics Worm. I went through a whole pack!
Remember the post I made about these? I'm happy I got some.

It was somewhere in the high sixties with strong winds on and off. Now I've learned how important sunscreen and polarized sunglasses are.

The videos are even better.

I can't stop talking about this...sorry.

Do you know the feeling?
