I am new to bass fishing and I have not been successful to date. But, today was my day. I caught my first bass. And it was the big one. I know, I know, the first one always seems bigger than it was, but I weighed it and it was 7 lb and my daughters were with me to verify it. It was heavy enough that when I lifted my life to pick him out of the water, the weight of the fish caused the line to cut into my skin.

 

Unfortunately, I had to cut the day short. 95 degrees with 70-80% humidity and no wind will wear you quickly.

 

I got to say that catching your first bass is just like having sex for the first time. It seems like it took forever to happen, was over too quickly and leaves you wanting more. And you also will never forget the first time. 

 

And to top it all off, my noisy, stomping, partying, squeaky mattress neighbors above me moved....it was a good weekend.

CONGRATULATIONS! I've been fishing half my life and my PB is only 5.5-6 lbs. I'm jealous!

Y'all got anymore of them bass?

 

Congrats! It gets easier after getting the first catch monkey of your back. Then the bait monkey jumps on, lol.?

Congrats, your ruined.  ?

7lb?!  First bass?! Congrats!!! My first bass wasn’t even 7oz.  You’re doomed now ???

Congrats!

 

7 is a great weight to start at... now ya gonna have to hustle to get that feeling back!

Great fish. Did you get a pic? 7lb. Pig. 

 

Had a good weekend myself but certainly not that good. Congratulations. 

 

MidAtlantic weather has been brutal also.

I just got him out of the water here. My daughter took the picture so it is not a great shot.
