Bad day for bass.  Didn't get a nibble till I was leaving when I had one bite a stick bait in half while reeling it in.

First two hours, not a nibble.  I put on a worm t-rigged and worked it slowly.  This always gets me 1 fish.  Well...as I am about 10 feet from the bank I get nailed by something HUGE.  I get all excited when the drag starts peeling line.  I can't believe how strong this bass is...it must be a lunker.  Yeah lunker, it just ain't no bass.

Look what it left me with after I did it a favor and remove someone elses mono and hook.

Then I got lucky and saw this pair swim by and I went after them.  6 casts = 2 fish.

The first fish.  Look at what it did to the x-rap.  Lucky for me I came with a spare and pliers.

The second fish.

This snake was just chilling watching me fish for 2 hours sunning itself.  It never moved as I pounded the bank.  Guess it's got a set of brass ones.  ;D

That peacock torn that x-rap up!  As much as I like Rapala's the split rings they use are total crap.  I've lost a few decent fish because of split rings being straightened out either on the front of the lure or at the hook.  For the most part I replace the split rings on all my Rapala lures with Lucky Craft split rings.  I need to get down south and try my hand at some of those peacocks.  Nice fish by the way.    

Awesome Peacocks man... I really need to hit some lakes down south!!!
