I was fishing for around 3 hours today in a cold front, the water was probably around 40 degrees and i was first using a jerkbait but had no luck, i decided to slow down and fish a brush hog on a texas rig and i felt "thump..thump.......thump.thump....thump" waited a second and gave it a hard hookset and reeled this boy in, i was fishing a small lake and it feels pretty good when your 15 and out fished some old timers  ;D

Nice job, it always feels good to break in new equipment

I wish all the bass I catch would "thump" a bait that many times! Nice catch! Congrats.

haha i was suprised myself, after the first 2 thumps i pulled just a little to see if his weight was on but nothing, the next to i felt his wieght so i lowered my rod and set the hook, i was scared he was gonna be gut hooked but right in the corner of the mouth  ;D

Nice! What's the name of the baitcaster?

Good job homie. I. Still remember my first baitcaster fish. Keep up the good work.

Good show buddy. I still remember my first BC bass, came on a spinnerbait. I was just practicing casting, so I was burning the SB back without working it. I was hugely surprised when a little bass, not much bigger than the 1/2 oz bait, ate it.

good job man, im 15 too and I will be 16 soon btu this year I dewcided to buy my first BC and caught a nice sized bass on it as the first fish this summer on it with a horny toad, of course i have caught some more on it through the year but I love bait caster now

Great job! Also very happy to see some young PA boys getting into bass fishing!!! Keep up the good work!

congrats!! nice work!!  8-)

Nice! What's the name of the baitcaster?

nothing special, got it at dicks, field and stream verado 601 combo. i think i got it around 80$ bucks or so, it was that or the abu garcia combo. asked some guys who had experience w/ baitcasters and told me to get the field and stream, i was surprised and though its not to expensive i find it quite nice, but looking to upgrade later in the year if i find the money.

I made the switch to a BC when I was about your age, somewhere in there (not that I'm much older at 20)...its hard to pick up any kind of other reel after, I fished with ambassadeurs for the longest time...finally bought another spinning setup

yea, i dont mind small ultra light spinning outfits but when you get spinning outfits for bass they seem to be more uncomfortable to hold and cast compared to BC's

I also converted to a BC recently because throwing 1/2 ounce jigs, crankbaits, spinnerbatis, etc. with Medium spinning gear is a PITA.

Congrats on you first bass with the Bait caster.
