I'm 23 and caught my first bass this weekend! I caught two fish for the day, both largemouths. First was a 1#er, the second was a 2.5#er. I hooked three for the day, the first I didn't fully set the hook, I was told it looked to be a 3#er. I've always wanted to catch a largemouth. I've been deep sea and walleye fishing, but never bass fishing.

Needless to say, I'm the one who is hooked!!!

WELCOME!!! And congrats on the first fish.  That's not a bad way to start at all.  

Thanks! I saw you're from Champaign, I'm orginally from Byron, IL (15 minutes SW from Rockford). I'm stationed here at FT Campbell. Do you know any good bass areas in IL?

Bass fishing can be very addictive!  8-)
