Here's the story, I have been trying to get my brother to LMB fish with me for some time. I bought him his first 2 rods and a bunch of tackle for christmas. He has never ever had the ptience to fish. I told him how great bass fishing was over and over. How not catching anything most of the day and then hitting a 5 pounder was still one of the great thrills of life.

So the first 3 times out in my boat he didn't catch anything. He tells me that if it wasn't for the boat he would never do this.

Well that all changed on saturday. After about 1.5 hours. He hooked into his 1st LMB. He was just dragging a lizard across some moss and lillypads and bam he said it hit like he was mad at it. Well he's hooked now. He went on to catch 3 more in about a 2 hour period doing the same thing and he loved it. He said that all that time of not catching anything. 3 trips worth. He said that single hit was worth it. Here he is with his first catch. It's not big, but it didn't matter to him.

More importantly I have a new fishing partner, and it's my brother. Doesn't get much better than that.

That's Great! I wish you both many more successful outings.  

Congrats on getting your brother hooked on bass fishing, I'm lucky enough to have my brother as a fishing partner as well. 8-)

A PB is still a PB.  Congrats!

That's fantastic

I hope he hooks into a 8-10 lb fish in the near future, he will be hooked for life.

that's awesome, about a month ago I had the pleasure of getting my brother his first bass, while he's most certainly NOT the fishing type, it was awesome that he could go with my and get one, sometimes it brings more joy to me to see soemone new to fishing get one, than to catch a bunch myself

You guys are lucky! I have been working with my little bro on his first bass for over a year and a half now with no luck! This guy could mess up a wet dream i tell ya! LOL, i will keep trying though.

CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH

sweet man. A good fishing buddy is hard to come by. They have to be a friend or family, fishing literate, and LOVE to fish!

In a few month's he will have the sport by the "tail" lol.

Awesome man. Have fun.

Thanks for all the kind words guys.

He called me last night wondering when we can go again, and can we go to the same place.

Now if I can just get him to go in on a nice, big bass boat.  ;D ;D ;D
