Well I lost the two biggest bass of my life today. It was just bad luck too. The first one slammed a Texas rigged senko and was easily 6 pounds. It was massive and was sitting in about a foot of water. I set the hook hard and the fish didn't budge port just thrashed frantically in the water for a bit then spit the hook as if to say ''not today!''. I want even mad I just let down and empty. Like a little boy who just got his bike stollen. I keep at the fishing and ended up nailing a few up to 3 pounds. I have a picture but I'm to lazy to upload. I fished into the night catching another 2 pounder and some more smalls. Then as my dad called me to come home and eat I get a tap on my baby brush hog that I was dragging slowly on the bottom. I set the hook and feel the sheer mass of this fish. Its thrashing hard in the shallow water then all the sudden I see it leap in the air and spit the hook. It was massive and made a huge splash. This was all within 5 feet of me too. It was too dark to anticipate the jump so the darkness killed me. My luck literally sucks...can't stand it.

| Well dude, to say the obvious, "that's why it's called fishing,not catching" LOL. I hate that phrase, but it's true. Just go back and keep trying, you now know they're in there. Good night out no matter what. |
