So i lived about 20 min from lake fork and spent my fair share of hours on the lake.  My bud and I, in the summer, would get out there at 5-am and head up little caney creek and just kill the bass with yellow magic's till about 9-am.

Well this particular day was no different.  We got out there and started to work the bass over real well, and before 7-am i landed into a 9lb.  Sadly it wrapped itself around a oh so conveniently placed log and snapped my line.  Yeah i was ticked but my blood was pumping and i had another yellow magic to tie on and get back in the game.

On the very next cast, no longer had the lure hit the water about 15ft away, i got a hit.  Need less to say i was so amped up from losing the last bass that i set the hook 5 times harder then i needed to.  Well setting a hook that hard on a bass that probably weighed less then 5 oz created a projectile that i had to dodge. Yes it did fly out of the water and over the boat.  As a joke my bud grabbed the net and proceeded to net this giant.  

So all in all a great day with an even better memory.  Isn't that why we truly go fishing, for the memories.

Any ways if you got a small bass or funny story please share. I would love to hear it.

Nice fish!  I've had days like that.  

Welcome aboard!

woah nellie! did you get that thing weighed on a certified scale?!

When I first started fishing jigs frequently I had the mindset that anything that would strike a jig would be huge.  I got a strike, set the hook into what I thought had to be a monster, and it was about the size of your fish there.  It flew out of the water and hit me right in the fruit basket  ;D

Nice story there bassman  ;D

Nice fish! You look like you we having a blast. ;D

Oh and Welcome!

wow

WELCOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome.

Yes, its amazing what they will hit.  One morning I was out fooling around with a 6" tidewater lure before heading to the beach.  Got a strike and thought I lost it but when pulled it in I had a small one probably a little over 8" long.  Was hilarious looking.  Hate I didn't have the camera.

 Week or so ago was at a local pond and caught one on a no. 10 Husky Jerk that was only 1" longer and maybe 1/2 again bigger than said bait . Memories are a very large part and WELCOME to the forums!!!
