Default The one that "got away" today 9-04

Place: Lake Hodges CA
Bait: Yamamoto Fat Ika ~pumpkin color~

----


Why did I not have my net with me?
Because I AM AN IDIOT!

Just a very faint "tap" "tap"...set the hook!...
OMG, she rolled up to my kayak quickly and my adrenaline went off the
charts.
I knew she was "fresh" and kind of in a daze so I wanted to grab her lip
quick before she woke up.
NOPE! The hook pulled off the jaw and grabbing her slippery tail was of
no use.

This was my personal best. Big black/grey back, super wide mouth and
body. I have caught 9 and 10 pounders in there and this bass had them
beat by at least 4 pounds.

WOW!

Now, my net will be near me at ALL TIMES!!!
Fall is my best time for big bass.

This one broke my heart.
