Decided to stop at Lake Pleasant to eat lunch and do a little fishing, we talked to some guys on boats and said they were marking them but couldnt get them to bite, figured wed fish for trout while we ate lunch instead of bass. Well I was using a 5.6 ul and 4 pound mono and on my first cast hooked something that just felt like dead weight, I thought I was snagged on weeds or a log until I saw a bass that was 5 pounds easy jump out of the water and spit my hook. Pretty sad but I was stoked to hook a fish on my first cast at a new lake. Well maybe 5 minutes later I went to twitch my bait and felt more weight, set the hook and drag started going for 30 seconds before we saw another fish around 3 pounds jump spit the hook again. I never had so much fun losing fish, they completely bent the rod over and Ive never had a bass feel like dead weight before let alone hook one fishing for bass!

Sounds like you had fun.  Lake Pleasant AZ is primarily known as a Striper Lake, I am making the assumption that is the Lake Pleasant you are talking about.  Fun lake most of the time.  

Maybe next time a bigger hook  LOL
