Decided to fish a bit after getting off work early, started off cranking for a few hours and after nothing I switched back to the trusty ol' soft plastics, worked it just like RW always says to... nice and realllllyy slow over underground structure. I was fishing from the bank and wasn't expecting too much when....

Could anyone help me judge the size of that thing? I wanna say it's around 7lbs but you know...everything just seems bigger to me =P

little video of the fish and me releasing it, nothing especial...sorry for my potty mouth near the end, I was too excited.

Fish video!

edit: lol sorry about the trash talk too =P it was for my friends who think i'm retarded/stupid/obsessed for fishing in the middle of winter...fish need to eat too!

HAHA, awesome. Thanks for the video!!!

Great job and nice fish.  

Great Catch!!  Hopefully that's a good sign of how the year will go!!

Hey I want a special color too ;D Anyway great video and catch I'd love my first FL fish to be at least close to that size

Great Catch I couldn't think of a better way to start a new year.

Great job!! And VIDEO!!! Awesome.

If I had to put money on a guess for that fishs' weight, not being a jerk, I would guess no less than 3 , no more than 4.5.

Great January Bass!

PS- It isn't "trash talk" when YOU'RE the dude holding the fish.

nice way 2 start the year,congrats!!!!!!

i ll have 2 say that i agree with lbh on the estimation but who cares , a new PB is always great no matter the size!!!!!

Nice fish for any season especially winter!

COOL nice fish.

Nice fish!!!    My guess, 7-10.  Yeah its a broad range, but its a broad fish.

Sorry you had to wear gloves to get it.  ;D ;D

Excellent catching and from the bank too!!! 8-)
