Hey guys so I caught my personal best yesterday! I have only been fishing for about two years now, and a lot of what I have learned came from this forum and all yall on here, so I wanted to post and say thank you!

 

Until this year I had never had any luck with texas rigging so I have been spending a lot of time each outing trying to get better with it. It has for sure led to some larger catches for me over the past few months. Anyways my dad and I were fishing a laydown that we hit almost every trip out. We had been on it for a pretty good while when I pitched a 7in powerworm into the middle of the tree. I felt the tap and started to get my slack up when I see my line swimming back into the laydown. After setting the hook he tried to wrap me up on a number of different limbs, but finally I was able to work him out of the tree. My dad netted him for me and we threw him on the scale. He came out to 6lb 6oz.  Haha he bent out my hook some and I couldnt tie another hook on for a few minutes because my hands were shaking so badly! Anyways thanks again for all the advice and all of the help you guys offer on this forum!

 

 

That's awesome man!

That's great! Congrats and better luck next time! Haha

Nice fish!

Nice fish man, congrats on your PB. That's a great feeling right there.. 

Yes Sir, Great Fish, Great Story...T-rigs are my Absolute Fave, I am guessing it may become yours also!

Awesome fish! It's even more awesome that you shared that experience with you dad.

Congrats on the new PB. She is a big girl.

Nice! Congrats on your new PB. I love those laydowns. Lost my best bass this summer yesterday off a deep laydown.

Congradts on the new PB !!  nice photo of her.

You'll be pumped up for a few days with that one. Nice going, definitely pitch t/rigged plastics in all kind of cover, many bass to be had.

What hook was it?

Thanks! It was a 4/0 round bend worm hook from bass pro.

Congrats. Nice fish!

Whooooo!! Awesome man

Thats a nice catch . I had that feeling once.

Nice CJAM!  Was that at RRR?

Great  fish, onward,upward, congrats

Great catch, but maybe time to upgrade those hooks so the next PB doesn't get the chance to straighten the hook. 

Nice CJAM!  Was that at RRR?

 

Thanks! It was. I spend about every saturday on Randleman. I have tried some of the other lakes in the area that are closer to my house, Mackintosh, Cammack, Graham Mebane, but I keep going back to Randleman. I love that lake.

Congrats!  That is a good looking bass!
