was my first outing with the baitcaster and i did very well , imo.

went over to a local community lake on sat. and cast around for a couple hours.

i tried a 5" swimming senko that i picked up from BPS (you guys wernt lying about these things being so soft) t-rigged with a unpegged 3/8oz bullet weight. no luck.

so i took out a super fluke in green with char. tail on the same 3/0 ewg hook , t-rigged with the 3/8oz weight and managed to pull out this beast....

not much at all , but it was my first BC fish.

went out again yesterday to the same spot and left with nothing. my fiance wanted to see how she does casting. so sure enough , she threw out two perfect casts with no backlash whatsoever. she probably made em out 10-15ft, but after all my practicing in the backyard , she put me out there.

Pardon my ignorance but, What kind of fish is that?......Possibly a Peacock?

We sure don't have anything like that here in Northwest Louisiana.

thats a great lookin fish!

seems like you had a pretty good weekend

butterfly peacock bass.  

they were brought over years ago from brazil and grow up to 25+lbs there. they put up a fight no matter how small they are.
