Sorry it's not a bass, but it's opening day of trout season here in NY and the weather was nice so I hit up the local stream a few minutes from home. Managed to get one little stocked rainbow on a Mepps spinner and ultralight tackle. Bass fishing is still a ways off up here so I'll keep hitting the stream for a few weeks.

 

Nice fish!

Great way to start the season...congrats.

I'll take your word that's a giant!  

Congrats!

So big it could have been a fish stick!

Don't put a circle hook in it and send it back out. I promise nothing would happen. Overall a bad idea, nothing eats trout besides people.

Nice catch!

Trout fishing the beautiful streams is as special as hooking a LM on a grass flat in the heat.
