I got out for the first time today.

I only got one bite but it was a hell of a THUMP.

Problem was I just kind of stood there in a daze.

It was like:

THUMP

"Cool I just got a bite"

"Wow there goes my line swimming off"

"Man it's great to be fishing again"

"OH CRAP, I NEED TO SET THE HOOK" ;D ;D ;D

Set the hook but it was too late :

I think I have a little winter rust to shake off

2008

Bass -1

KU - 0

I feel your pain.  I missed the first four bites I got at Guntersville.

At least you were able to get out.  You'll catch up with the bass in no time.

It was like:

THUMP

"Cool I just got a bite"

"Wow there goes my line swimming off"

"Man it's great to be fishing again"

"OH CRAP, I NEED TO SET THE HOOK" ;D ;D ;D

NICE!! WAKE UP KU!!  ;D

You must not have been fishing a Berkley Power Bait, you would've had plenty of time to set the hook.  

Come on KU!  Well now that the rust is off, you will connect!  

By the way- I currently hate cheese!
