Well...she always outfishes me, but this time she skunked me. I have been in a very bad slump of late. Missing fish, getting short strikes. Just seemed like everything i do screws up. Has anybody ever felt uncomfortable about landing fish?? Its really weird. I didn't think you could get in a slump fishing but I guess I have. Must not be "holding my mouth right" as the old saying goes. :-/ On a bright note, my wife bagged this nice 3 pounder which is her new personal best! I'm very proud of her. She fought it like a pro after she got over the initial shock of having a hard pulling bass on. She did real good. It was the only bass of the day in a public lake that had been getting a ton of pressure as of late. As far as me...I think maybe I should have thrown topwater a little more. TWICE I got hits as I was reeling in my T-rigged plastic lizard on top. One great bite that i just missed the fish and one other time, I got straightlined. Probably a small bass. I threw ALOT of crankbait and plastic worm and came up empty. Anyway...a fun day with my better half. Pic below. She's the best!

Ask her for a few pointers. Don't feel bad we all go through what you're experiencing.

Whoe MasterBasser09, that is one nice looking..er..er..er..bass. Yeah that's it.  ;D  Seriously though,  it looked like your wife had a good day.  A couple more would have been good but you can never complain about a new P.B.  Have a good day y'all.

Nice fish.

Looking at the smile on her face, it all worked out exactly the way it was suppose to. Congratulations to both of you

great fish.......... if it get's a lot of pressure, you might look into some finesse techniques like dropshotting.......

Maybe try a package of flukes next time........ that's my #1 go to bait right now... maybe they can work for you???

Very cool! I love the reports that include the wife winning.. ;D
