My biggest bass out of my little lake today!

Great catch and good post. Thanks for sharing. It is a great feeling
letting one go like that.
Catching one heavier than the line test is quite a feat, especially with
the weeds.

Thanks Ronnie! Since I don't fish competively, I guess I don't need to
land every one of them, so I like to fish the lighter tackle.

When I use to fish the gulf in Florida, I always wanted to see how big a
fish I could land on light tackle....I guess it carried over to bass
fishing!

But I would have hated to lose that one!

John, where in the gulf? I'm near Crystal River.

Dan, I was in Pensacola in the navy. I had a boat at the navy pier, and
fished for blues, kings, and cobia. But I spent most of my fishing time
surf fishing for reds, pompano, and sharks.

Then a young gentleman joined the squadron, he was from the area, and he
talked me into going bass fishing with him on the Blackwater
River......I was "hooked"!

I may be lucky, than I first thought. I congratulate my self landing, fish light processing, testing lines, and 6 pounds. I checked my stick today, proved to be £ 8 test. Back when I re-day, I thought I had him 6 and 8 quantum Garcia.
