Default lost the lunker...story inside

Went out fishing tonight after I got home.I started off running a black worm along the bottom and caught a 2 pounder doing this.I switched to a watermelon tube and then caught 3 more small bass. Took a break and caught about 10 crappie for supper on minnows and went back to the bass for the last half hour.

I was throwing out the same watermelon tube and saw some movement of fish moving in close to the bank. I casted out towards the bank and WHAM! Not 5 seconds after my bait hit the water the surface blew up.The big bass ran me into some weeds and shook my hook and got me tangled in a log.Well as luck would have it the rest of my tubes were back in the truck.

I decided to throw out a BooYah yellow spinnerbait to the same spot.Once again the big boy hit it as soon as the lure hit the water.I fought him all the way to the boat and my buddy heard my excitement as I saw the fish.My excitment quickly turned to a sad, cussing attitude as the line snappedwhen the fish was a foot or 2 from the boat.

My biggest bass to date was 6 lbs. and was caught in this exact same spot.This bass today looked like it could have ate my 6 pounder.My partner thought he was a 10 pounder plus which is just HUGE for the waters I fish, I don't like to guess the weight on him b/c I am just not for sure.

One more thing, this Gamma line I have been using is nothing but junk.It casts great, but the strengh of it is terrible.I will be going to get some new line tomorrow and filling up my Pflueger with it.
