Bartlett Lake 09-12-09 (part II), The Bass! We drove to a bunch of islands on the east side, 1st cast Rick has a 3lbs catfish on a spinner. Dad was throwing a HUGE diving crankbait on my stripper pole. As we moved over a shallow reef Dad hooked in...to a powerful 5lber+ largemouth bass and the fight was ON! Rick grabbed the net, I held the boat in position & yelled a bunch of orders lol WATCH THE DRAG! and Christina
Bartlett Lake 09-12-09 Big Bass
Bartlett Lake 09-12-09 (part III), and Christina cheered us on! The way the drag was pulling & the pole was buckled over, I was really conserned we'd loose it. It was a true fight, dad would take a few ft & the bass would pull it right... back. Dad faught it beautifully & Rick netted it on the 1st try! The bass was hooked on the side of its mouth/head, those new big circle hooks did their job. Christina was hit the was hit the same time as dad but missed the fish. She was hit another 2 times but no luck! After they left we caught 1 more cat but let it go...Fun day! Boat worked great despite getting SOAKED in a nasty storm that damaged the marina!
