first bass of 2011!

well i woke up at about 7am. I watched fishing shows for about 2 hours and they were just taunting me telling me to go out and fish. Mean while its pouring and about 40 degrees. Two weeks ago i was out at my favorite lake and it was completely frozen over, i was hoping for better when i went out today. I started fishing around 1 pm. The water was really muddy and high, i was throwing a black/blue jig with a zoom super chunk trailer on my baitcaster, and black/purple fleck 4" senkos on my spinning gear. after fishing for about 2 hours i made a cast as far as i could into the lake, trying to cover some water with my senko. I started lifting the rod, then letting it sink. Next time i pulled up i felt dead weight on my rod, set the hook and caught this guy right here, about 14 inches, guessing around 1.5 lb . I was suprised i had caught one, my first winter bass. The colors sure are pale in the winter, but it was definatly worth going out for.
