Went out yesterday and was all set to do some Trout fishing. Was trolling a 1/8oz Acme Kastmaster,trying to work the schools of trout I had seen.

My rod tip bends over and I set the hook.The fish has some fight in it,but is "skiing" on top of the water as I reeled it in. I then realized this wasnt a Trout as I had originally thought...It was a HUGE Bass!!!

Yep it was Huge alright,maybe only in the attitude department.I was totally caught off guard.

Later in the day I was trying to Coax some Larger Bass I could see into biting. I had a Baby Brush Hog tied on and it was all balled up on the hook from getting caught up in some trees.I was in a Ho-Hum mood and decided to lob the bait out for Giggles,No real reason,just messing around,and as I was retrieving it A Bass came from out of nowhere and Whacked it. Boy was I suprised!!

I also tossed a Soft Stickbait under a tree and hooked up with a fish 3 times in a row,but everytime the fish came unbuttoned. Eventually,nothing would bite anymore at that spot so I gave it up and moved on.

So it seems the Bass bite is heating up. I left the lake as it was getting dark. The temp in the air was cooling off alot but the water temp was at a peak of 63*.

Cute lil bass
