I just got my first bass. The pond had thawed out so I thought I would go out and test my new reel. Well I was fishing my go to lure and I get a tug on my line. I bring in a nice 3 lber. I was so happy I held my rod above my head and ran all the way back to my house while screaming "I got one, I got one". Needless to say today is a very happy day. What about you guys?

Didn't fish today Kid but I probably will tomorrow....WTG man on your catch today, sounded like a good time to me.

Congrats,

Can't seem to get into that multi-pound range but we've been catching them over here on small ponds that have recently thawed.

Though I've caught some on the traditional slow jig, drag rigs - the majority of them have been decent-retrieve speeds on cranks.

Crankbait bite is looking good for now. Can't wait till we get a good 3-4 day warm spell. I'm going crazy to hit some proven pre-spawn ledges on the big water near my area!

excellent! way to go man. gotta love this:

I was so happy I held my rod above my head and ran all the way back to my house while screaming "I got one, I got one".

i still get excited after over 3 decades of fishing myself. don't ever lose that feelin' kid.

Haven't had any luck yet, but it seems to be about that time...

Congrats, and here's to many more of them!
