Can't remember. Maybe an ugly stick with an Abu spinning reel

At last you're using good equipment, I knew you would come around.

 

Have no idea what I caught it on, where I caught it, how big it was, what rod and reel.  I do know what I caught my last one on, Thursday afternoon about a 5 pounder on a ml supreme 30 using a crappie jig.

Haha... Come on Snook... I love my Powell's tho.

Most of my catfish gear and some striper gear are ugly sticks. Good rods.

Quantum smoke spinning reel (25), 7' Waterloo MF rod, 10lb berkley trilene mono, and KVD 1.5 in bream

Shimano Chronarch CI4+, Edge Mag Bass rod, 10lb Sunline Shooter, 1/16oz jighead with a chartreuse/pearl 2" tube with a cork about 30" above it. Was trying to catch crappie, but hooked a bass instead.

Good for you guys...still looking at ice.

shimano compre jig/worm rod, revo s, 50lb power pro, green/yellow terminator jig, rage crawler  (this was before my siebert jig order)

BPS PQ 7.1:1 with 14lb mono

 

6'8" Castaway Carolina Honey Rig Med/Mod (why they made a Carolina Rig medium/moderate and only 6'8" I don't understand); same rod     has had name changed to Weedless Worm

 

BPS XPS jerkbait

 

I'll let you know in about 6 months when all the snow and ice finally melts off. Forecasted lows in the single digits through next Tuesday....really?? Screw you WI!!

Gen 2 Revo 6.4:1 with 50lb braid and a 7'2 MH XF Shimano Crucial

Very first time trying to flip and pitch, i caught my cat. Luckily I cut the hook off my jig. Practicing flipping and pitching in the house is much more fun when you have a cat. She enjoys it and so do I. It may not be a bass but I brought her all the way back and was able to scoop her up. A solid 22 pounder!

Tip-up

Still haven't caught a fish. Thanks snow, grad school, and broken foot....

I just caught my first one yesterday. Decent 2 1/2 pounder

7'2" Denali Kovert

BPS Pro Qualifier 7:1:1

T-Rigged PTL Craw D'

Add MN to that list!

6' 6" St. Croix LTB/Lew's Speed Spool with 14lb Mustad Ultra Line and a War Eagle finesse spinnerbait. First fish was actually a 14.5" crappie

First bass ate the same bait on the same set up, can't remember which one it was but it was one of these two!

7ft med/hvy colmic rod, curado200e7,12lb mc coy, 3/8oz mc coy v twin white spinnerbait no trail or caught 3 in 2hrs all nice sized

Finally got the boat out on the river today. I caught my first fish of the season, a 2 lb largemouth, on a homemade green pumpkin jig. My rod was a 7'1 mh daiwa cielo paired with a lews speed spool and 15lb spiderwire ez fluoro. Man did it feel nice to finally get out on the water!

I got my first bass today on a Black spinner bait, 7ft compre MH, Lews speed spool. Also managed to snag a shad in the face with a crank bait, and got a channel cat on the black spinnerbait as well.

Jesus, and I thought the 17 lb. cat I hooked yesterday was big!

 

Off topic: Excited for weather in the low 30's for the next 3-4 days? 

Hey guys just joined today first bass this year on a 7'1" m/f *** black with a lews tournament mg on a watermelon red flake baby brush hog Texas rigged with a 1/4 oz tungsten weight

Don't recall. Probably one of my spinning setups, either with a Stradic, or the Lexa.

 

Then again, it might've been on a casting rig, either my Chronarch, or Lexa.

 

I've caught a few this year so far, and the outings have been somewhat far apart from each other, so I just don't recall fully.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome aboard!

Thanks Darren

First fish of 2014, geez that was a while ago, like Jan. 3rd. Caught on a Nautilus FW7 on a Redington Predator throwing a EP Bluegill on a Wulf 7TT line.

Oh man, I must have misread this thread... I. Thought I said what was your first bass caught on... Not your first first this year.... Haha my answer was Idk..an ugly stick maybe... Lol

This year I think it was dropshot fish on a Powell spinning rod.

26" ice rod, Zebco UL4 classic reel, 2 lb flouro, #10 tungsten jig/plastic tail.
