Was Kayak fishing Lake Perris today and hooked into what felt like my new PB Bass. It stayed down and fought hard wound up fighting it for a couple of minutes as it pulled my kayak in circles. I got a glimpse or two of it and was somewhat heart broken when I got it close enough to net.

 

I guess in the end it's still a new PB as it's the only one I've ever caught and on a lipless crankbait to top it off. 5.93lb which looks to be a toddler compared to the monsters that thrash around my kayak at times.

 

 

 

I only caught 3 Bass today with the largest being a 2.5lb and other 2 in the 1.5lb range.

same thing happened to me on Tuesday, only mine was a 9 1/2 lbs catfish. My heart was beating fast when I thought it was a bass☺

I know the feel...still couldn’t help but smile!

 

The Tennessee River has done that to me a few times already. Drum and catfish will turn a good time into a meh time in a hurry. 

 

I tail hooked about a 15lb catfish a couple weeks ago during a tournament. It wasn't rolling so I thought I had a behemoth.
