WellI got my college finals over with today and hit the lake as soon as I got back to the house.

Started the day off good cathing a one pounder on the first cast. I then started fishing a large fallen tree close to the bank and on my fourth or fifth cast I felt a large bite and set the hook a little to late. Went right back to the same spot and WHAM! set the hook kept the line tight and reeled like it was for my life.

Got the fish to the boat and let out a scream as I picked it up. Put it on the scale and it was right under 9 lbs. My biggest to date was 5.2. Ended up catching 3 more bass all around 2 lbs. off the same tree before the rain moved in.

I will be going back there this weekend in hopes of landing another one of these big boys and will make sure I grab a camera this time.
