You know when I first caught this fish it brought a lot of good memories to mind. How many times I had gone out fishing with my dad, all the commercial fishing I did back in the 80s and how it felt to fish with friends and family.
This Bass came to me as a surprise, it was hiding in the weeds towards the shallow part of the pond near a gypsum plant. I was casting a rat-l-trap at first and it hit it but did not commit to it, so I slowed down with a Rapala round bill crank, sexy shad type, I like that bait because of a larger hook in the back that I caught her. The feeling was wonderful, I had caught a nice largie here in Wyoming. Who would have known they can get big in such a small and cold pond. What a great day and great feeling, considering me and Susy Quest almost went off the side of a cliff to get there...LOL
It is a main goal for me to have more brothers and sisters join me on these fishing adventures. Please feel free to write and tell us about your fishing adventure and how that day went, what were you thinking that day and how did you catch that fish. Let us know and join the fun. Make sure to include on picture of that catch. We will post three catches every month from the best stories.
