A couple days ago I did some fishing at a small lake that I have not caught as many and as big of fish in as previous years. I ended up catching 7 bass with the biggest being 18 inches. Unfortunately both the 18 incher and a 17 incher I caught were skinny. I caught all but 2 of the fish on wacky rigged stick worms. I also caught 1 on a texas rigged ribbontail worm and 1 on a whopper plopper 130 (my first fish on a whopper plopper). The one on the whopper plopper was only like 10 inches long. I also had a pike strike the whopper plopper 5 times before I finally hooked it, but it got away. Overall a very fun day of fishing. 

5 missed strikes?!? I bet you were just itching to hook him
