A big thank you to Road Warrior for taking me to a pond in Germantown, TN to fish for bass.  I actually caught a nice 1.5 pounder on a red rooster tail.  But also missed 3 others.  Oh well.  Very nice place to fish.  This was the first bass I have caught in the Memphis area since moving here over ten years ago.  Hopefully won’t be the last.

There was another first today – when fishing with my Rapala Husky Jerk (which was not a good lure to use in this pond).  When retrieving it, I thought I had a snag, then I thought I had hooked into a rock, but it turned out to be a fresh water clam.  One hook got it where the two halves close.  Never caught anything like that before.  First time for everything I guess!

any picture?

It’s always good to fish with @roadwarrior

Been there, done that...several times.... have the T-shirt LOL!

 

Wife and I were fishing Guntersville once. He was actually fishing with somebody else. We met up at a a little shoreside tackleshop slash snack shack to grab a bite to eat.  And while we're on the dock gabbing, he's casually tossing a Senko around the docks, and catches this:

 

 

I mean really?  .... REALLY?  

 

LOL, I give him a hard time, but man, what a skilled angler!  

 

Umm..do I at least get credit for netting it? ?

Road warrior is good people, hopefully you didn’t give him rabies! Thanks for the report, was the mussel you caught a new PB ???

No pictures as neither of us had a camera.  Yes, the mussel was a PB!
