Did anyone have luck fishing today? (Here's my story).?

Question

It's been raining lately, so I invited my friend to go fishing at 7 o'clock in the morning today, which is earlier than usual for me.

This morning we finally got started, and for the longest time we had no luck catching anything but moss. But then this guy comes along and first cast... He reels in a monster bass. I ask him what he's using, and he told me a spin bait. So I obviously pulled that out of my tackle and started going at it...

A few hours go bye, and I've caught a few 9-12 inch bass. Nothing too big. And just before I decide to leave, I thought I would throw on a buzz bait around this stump, and first cast I got a bite, but nothing... Second cast, nothing... Third cast, I nearly landed what appeared to be at least a 12 pound bass. Biggest thing I've ever seen at our lake. And wouldn't ya know it... I got it right up to the shore, and pulled it out of the water (without a net), and before I could grab on to it's mouth, it squrimed itself off my hook, into the water...

My dad tells me that everyone has a "fish that got away" story. I didn't think I'd be one telling this story. But when you live where I do, and the fish you pull out are usually smaller than your hand, it's something to talk about!

How was your day fishing?

Answer 1

Congrats! That is awesome! A 12 lb'er on a buzzbait would be a great day of fishing in anyones book! Even if the bass got a reprieve, you still have bragging rights to hooking the biggest bass you've seen in that lake. I imagine after your friend left he went back to that spot with a buzzbait...if he calls you later on today and tells you he caught it in the same spot are you going to believe your friend? It is amazing how strong those giant bass really are.

This evening I plan on getting out and seeing what's biting. The bass in my pond outback (small 2 acres) have been jumping like crazy all afternoon. Too bad I have work to do.

Thanks for the inspiring story. Next time you will land that bass! Have a great weekend.

Answer 2

Good descriptive cast by cast, I loved it...Good answer Mike as well,
love to fish and have pulled in some big ones, but you must have a net or a helper, just when you think the fight is all out of them, here they go again....sorry...but hey, next time....thanks

Answer 3

well i went fishing in a small pond and caught numerous bluegill and 3 cats all of them blue. had another blue get off at the shore kinda like your bass but he broke my line. i was mainly using nightcrawlers but used some worms too. also what got 'em going was i took a dinner roll broke it into small chunks and threw them out there.

its no longer using water conditioner(chlorine subject) it particularly is when you consider which you probably did cycle the tank and including 8 fish at as quickly as to a clean tank is risky. they're going to at modern-day out die. you may desire to in no way upload greater desirable than 3 fish each and every week using fact in case you get greater then there will be too lots bioload(waste) and the clear out cant capture up. so as that they start up up dieing using fact ammonia starts off to construct up and nitrite. it particularly is a probability that the ph substitute into very severe to using fact faucet water regularly continuously has severe ph. you will be able to desire to cycle your tank for some month till now you upload any fish! don't get from now on fish back they're going to die usually no rely what number u get. despite if u get a million it is going to die using fact the water isn't top. it particularly is the way you cycle your tank in steps: you start up up the cycle via including a source of ammonia. if there isn't any ammonia then it cant start up.you ought to use organic ammonia(without smells or detergents) you may desire to purchase this on the ninety 9 cents keep or ironmongery keep. its low priced like a million dollar. step a million: ammonia spike(it particularly is while the ammonia stages pass up alot and then pass down) yet this could purely paintings if there is a few form of ammonia interior the tank. step 2:nitrite spike(it particularly is while nitrite is going up and then down) it occurs after the ammonia spike. step 3:nitrate spike(it particularly is while nitrate is going from severe to low) it occurs after the nitrite spike each and each step takes some week + or - step 4:set the ph(with ph pills or the liquid stuff) step 5:do a 25%-50% water substitute step 6: wait an hour so which you will get good attempt effects step 7:attempt the water for ammonia,nitrite,nitrate and ph. step 8: if each and every little thing continues to be the comparable(no ammonia,no nitrite,and no nitrate or little or no and the ph is the comparable then you definitely are accomplished! yet while some thing adjustments like shall we are saying the nitrite is going up or ammonia or despite then you definitely'll might desire to start up throughout :( in case you dont understand then enable me comprehend and unwell gladly furnish help to.

Answer 5

wow, and i've already been wanting to go fishing! thanks for sharing your story, and yeah we all have a "the one that got away" story. but, it really sucks when it actually happens.

i had one once that had straightened my hook out to the point that it came off right at the shore. no net either, and i wasn't fishing for bass either, and had a smaller hook on.
