THE BASS COLLEGE

It's getting hard to come up with interesting titles....

Anyway, I had about 30 minutes yesterday to go fishing back at the neighborhood pond.  I spent 20 of those minutes trying to find the fish, but with my trusty Dirty Jigs swim jig, covering ground is no problem.  Finally, I found a few off of a small point with an overhanging tree, hanging out right where the water drops from 8" to about 3'.  I tossed in my swim bait, kept my tip up, and retrieved it back slow and steady, with some slight jerks here and there, and a little 10" guy couldn't stand it.  I kinda felt bad for him, cause after I set the hook, he tried to fight for about 2 seconds, then just kinda gave up as I hauled him in.  I took him off the hook and said, "Hey thanks for taking the bait," and put him back in the water.  A couple casts later, his buddy, only a couple inches bigger, decided he wanted to say hello.  Again, a small fish and not much of a fight, but hey, small fish are better than no fish.  I'm just glad I'm catching 'em again! 

I brought my camera with me this time, but these two didn't warrant the paparazzi. 

LOL Thanks They will soon!

I'll also try to use a good format when I have something good to report.  I forgot to mention I used my custom BPS bionic to land the beast...

It's mounted on a good all around rod, a BPS carbonlite 6'9" MH with micro guides.

I like that.

Thank you, sir.  I made it myself.  If I could make as much money doing that as I do at my real job, I'd do it all day long.
