First LMB of the year. Caught in SW Ohio, private retention pond, 4+ lbs, on a Yum wooly worm, green, 8lb test.

That's a great way to start the year !!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes it was! Thanks. Missed a few last week, redemption was sweet.

Nice fish 

that's a great first bass! beats the hell out of mine 

That's a nice fish. My first last year is the one in my avatar, unfortunately it was also the best all year.

Thanks, I'm thinking it might be my largest of the year also. But that won't stop me for sure.

Nice catch, hopefully a sign for the year ahead.

Nice HAT and nice fish.  Are you from Mississippi or attend Ole Miss?

Land Surveyor, I'm not from there but did get some specialized training in plant identification through a group in the School of Pharmacy. Fell in love with the area, want to go back in the worst way.
