I've always thought that saying was bullshot. Today just proves it.

The good:

Got the day off due to impending weather that never arrived.

Fished alone, which I have always loved, but am liking more and more

Stuck this fish fairly early in the morning. 5lbs2ozs on a swimbait.

The bad

I broke off a swimbait fish. Big fish:gone, $40 bait:gone

Got hung up over 50 times, not fun with $40 stuck 20ft down. Thank god for bait knockers.

Missed 2 quality bites.

Really, a pretty crappy day, with only one bright spot that needed to weigh another 5 pounds.

At least you got one. That day woulda SUCKED if you lost that fish too ;D

I dunno biz,

I think you better send all your $40.00 swimbaits to me for safe keeping  

yeah that saying is a load. Alot a bad things can happen. Getting hurt loosing/breaking gear, boat issues. I take a good day of just about anything else over a bad day fishing. Now a good day fishing is hard to beat. I'll take a good day hunting over fishing but there aint too much I like more than fishing.

Hey Biz did you get the package?

I would be more then happy to catch a fish like that right now! To me that would be a great day because all I'm catching right now are dinks. Nice fish! 8-)

For those of us in about 45 other states, that's a fine bass!

Yeah I got it monday. Thanks dude! I fished one for just a bit, but I threw the big junk 95% of the time. They are sweet looking baits though! I'll post some pictures of fish after I get to fish them a bit. Thank You!

Nice bass

did you say 40 dollar bait........you should start playing blackjack instead....youd probably lose LESS money....lol

ok avid! you'll have to pay the $3,000 worth of insurance though LOL!

I've only ever lost 3 expensive baits and this would be the first fish I broke off. I was snagged in a tree and my line got all abraded then she came and pulled the bait off, set the hook had her on briefly, line broke

Way to hang in there FB!  You never cease to amaze me 8-)

I was getting ready to head back to the boat ramp Sunday afternoon when I lost my footing and sat on a brand new All Star rod and broke it in half.  my mistake day was not offset by a good fish like yours, but it was still a good day catching dinks and learning more about Lake Talquin.

For those of us in about 45 other states, that's a fine bass!

X2.....I know a big one is coming your way soon,  you're due.
