First Fish of the season.Crankbaits!

[TennesseeBassHawg]

We went to a small pond in Mississippi expecting a good day. IT started off slow and had me a little frustrated. I had only caught 1 bass after an hour. I was using jigs, worms, spinnerbaits, and flukes. I took a friend of mine with me that is not really a bass fisherman. He had a 5500C Garcia real, but it was on a 8' Rhino rod. I tried not the laugh the first time i saw him. But wouldn't you know it, he made it happen. I had noticed that he was throwing a rattle trap and was rippin' it thourgh the water man! As fast as he could real. Well i saw him catch a fish and i figured he must of snagged that fish. But just a few seconds later he catches another one. Well, i tie on a crankbait and soon i catch one. Meanwhile, my other buddy just hates crankbaits and will not tie one on. To make a long story short we caught 15 1.5-2lbs bass. we had a nice fish fry that night. My buddy with the 8 foot rod, he's a computer scientist and had actually done his homework the night before. THe moral of this story is you will never know what and who you may learn from. I've been bass fishing for 30 years and i still learn something knew almost everytime i go fishing.
Now, lets go rip some lips!!!
