Here's the story..

Super windy day..my regular spot stunk so {Without a depth finder} I went fishing for another spot. I ended up catching 17 before thisbig girl bit. My biggest was 3 pounds..up to 12:30 today.Then about 12:30 I decided to leave. I had one 3 inch shiner left on my medium Shakespere rod and Shimano spincaster..BAM! The rod almost leaves the boat..I grab the end..and immediately I knew this was a good fish..The ole head started going sideto side like a bluecat...Then I see the white side trying to break the surface .I knew then it was a bass and over 5 pounds. I screamed for Aaron to give me the darn net.She made 3 long runs and I was very concerned..When I ended up netting her I can see why I DON"T horse them..She was only hooked by a tiny sliver of skin in the side of her mouth..Any horsing at all would have pulled the hook from her mouth. I was honestly thinking 10 pounds even after I saw her..She was FAT! I was also worried the picture wouldn't take.The camera was doing funny things.

God bless,
