My buddy and I decided to take the day off and head to Orange lake.  The sunrise alone was well worth the trip.  We caught about 5 bass apiece during the morning bite mostly on flukes worked near the top.  After about a 3 hour stretch of no fish, my friend finally caught a little one on a wat/red speed worm.  I immediately switched to that, and what do you know, next cast and I catch my pb.  The timing couldn't have been any better as I made a nice cast to the next pad point I spotted.  After slowly working past the point, I sped up the retrieve and that's when she nailed it.  6lbs 3 oz, but the head on her told me she was more like 9 lbs a few months ago.  Some might say it was good luck or chance, but I know the timing was all a part of Gods perfect plan that included a little blessing for me that day.  A great way to end the day with a great friend.

That is one mean looking bass...nice job!

Nice fish. It does look like it should be bigger

The head on that fish is almost disgustingly huge.

I cut the tip of my finger off on Orange, it looks like it came back nicely after that sink hole drained.

If you find my finger send it down.
