Hey guys. I just caught my PB largemouth bass over the weekend. I was really excited about it and just had to share! I'm pretty new here and to bass fishing in general so my PB may not be all that impressive. In fact, I don't even know how much it weighed because I don't own a scale. Anyways, here is my story.

 

I've been regularly fishing a local lake specifically targeting LMB. My go-to rig is the drop shot with 4" soft plastic worms and I've been doing very well with it, it definitely catches fish. This time, I tried switching things up a bit by using a double hook drop shot rig. Starting from the bottom, I had a 1/4 oz drop shot weight. 12" up was the first hook and 12" further, a second hook. Both were Gamakatsu 1/0 drop shot hooks tied with a Palomar knot, and each hook was baited with a nose hooked soft plastic 4" worm. I generally switch between Roboworms and Bio Spawn Plasma Tails. I caught 3 small bass (under 1lb) and was about to call it a day when I got another bite after pitching it towards a boat dock. From the bite, I thought it was just another small bass, but once it started fighting I could tell it was a good size. I was a bit nervous landing this one since it was my biggest LMB to date, but it went without any issues. I caught, photographed, and released all fish. Unfortunately, I was fishing alone and couldn't get a really nice photo. Here is what I ended up with. Thanks for reading
