WVU-SCPA

I made a goal to catch and photo document a bass for every week this year. Thought process was I could counter the "make your own" photo calendar of my niece and nephew my mother receives for Christmas with a calendar of pictures consisting of me holding fish. Made it the first 3 weeks of January, but failed to produce the next 2 weeks with temps in the teens. Have only missed 3 weeks so far, can't imagine the effort and dedication needed to capture some of the data above.

She decided that there was just enough room to fit a 2.75" trd in that belly.

They also make a great caboose on the chatterbait train.

Spent the first 20 years fishing with a fly rod in my hand chasing trout at any chance. Sure, I would hit any body of water to catch any species of fish, but never would go out of the way to catch a bass. Was introduced to the "tournament" style of bass fishing about 14 months ago. It has became an obsession with the amount of gear I've compiled, techniques I've learned, and most importantly the hours spent on the water. The years of reading water on a small stream and matching the hatch have been trumped by a different kind of reading the water and matching the hatch. Or maybe its the same thing and any day fishing is a good day.

Long time lurker but first post. Had some fun with the power of the ned last night. Along with the bass came 2 muskies and 3 strippers. Quite the surprise to reel into a muskie using a TRD.
