Well I was home from college for the weekend and was looking for a chance to go fishing. The day started off cloudy with some sprinkles and then the sun started to come out around 1. I went out to this local neighborhood farm pond which always has some decent sized bass. Lately, the fishing there had been a little slow with the fish being few and far between. We finally have had a few weeks of warm weather. I get there and fish around a few spots. I finally zone in on a corner where there was a lot of action on the top of the water. I'm throwing a Zero Gravity jig (if you want info on it PM me, its not like any normal jig). I manage a bite and I seem to hook him but I guess I didn't hook him well enough. I get a second bite and as I set the hook a weak spot in the line snaps. I am absolutely devastated. So I wasn't stopping there, I tie on black and blue finesse jig with a blue trailer. I start to throw to the same spot and manage two more bites but the same thing that happened on the first bite happens again...both times. I move down the bank, decide to throw to some structure and manage about a 2 lb 5 oz. and I'm feeling a little better. I move back to my original spot, get a bite, and a solid hookset. All of a sudden she takes off, I manage to free my spool and work her with my thumb. I worked her around, and started to realize how big she was (well how big she was to me). I got her to the bank as I was shaking and she weighed in at 5 lb 14 oz. It's weak in comparison to some of y'all but I don't get to fish on lakes a lot. Biggest fish of my life. Seems like the fishing is heating up here in central NC.

Way to Go!!!

Very Nice

Thanks yall. Hit the spot again at about 6:30pm and caught one within 5 minutes that was about 2 or 3 lbs.

Great story.

Congrats on a new PB.

Farm pond fishing is the best. I have caught some beautiful lunkers out of my friend's double secret farm pond.

Great place to practice your techniques and to use new baits.

Hope you can go back and have some more fun before returning to school.
