A good day on the water. But still whining.

Took a vacation day and got out for some bass fishin and enjoying the beautiful warm spring friday. Landed about 15 bass today, most of them on the small side. But I got a few that were better sized. The day started with a Rapala XRap out in deeper water worked through a green bed of grass. Thats where I got the largest 4.7 pounder. The I started getting a few on one of the bladed jigs I purchased from Bassboogieman. They worked great Bruce! When that slowed, I started catching them from the shaded sides of piers on a black/blue jig with a craw trailer. If there was a pier, 70% of the time you would get a hit. But guys, I have to tell ya, and this is no fish story, but it's the truth. I lost 2 pigs today on the jig fishing piers. One came off on her first jump and the other I had almost to the boat when she jumped and threw the jig. I just wanted to cry! I extimate the first one was around 6 pounds. But that second one was HUGE. Easily double the size of the 4.7 bass I landed today. Had a head as big as mine I bet. Just sat there feeling sick after realizing I lost that one. Anyways, God blessed me with a very enjoyable day today, so I'm still smiling.
