Went out to Lake Austin today with my fishing buddy :) Was a really pretty day, a bit on the chilly side at first but a good day for fishing. The only problem is that it was really slow. I only caught one fish in about 4 hours. But what a fish it was. Broke my record :D 22.5" 6.5 lb. large mouth bass :D
Was a wierd catch. I was using a plastic worm and chunked it up by the bank. As soon as I pulled on it the first time it felt like I had hooked on to a branch or something. I kept pulling it in thinking that I had part of a tree on my line. About 1/2 way to the boat I decided that I'd set the hook just to "be sure". Good thing I did! As soon as I set the hook it started pulling drag out of my reel. My buddy saw my pole bend in half and the look on my face and scrambled for the net. Best part is that he caught a nice 19.5" 3 lb fish before I had this one in the live well.
Now for the bad news Elfie :D She's in my freezer waiting to be consumed on Tuesday night!

thats a wall hanger!!!
-
Udie that's beautiful, but if that is a female.. I'd have released her quick... nice fish.
-
That looks very tasty
-
Nice fish, but its not a wall hanger by no means:D I have yet to reach my own self imposed wall hanging restriction for LM bass. It's gotta be 10+ lbs. So far, I have caught one that made 8+.
-
Yeah, from now on if they are under 10 lbs and above about 3 lbs I'll put em back. But this was my first big one and I needed some meat in the freezer. You should see the 2 huge fillet's I got off of her. She had some eggs in her, but mainly fat. Wierd part was that her stomach was empty, cept for my plastic worm :D
God dang that was a rush!
[edit]
at con last year I saw the biggest one I've ever seen. Bass Pro Shops (connected to the hotel) has a big tank in there. They have a 17 lb LMB!!!! The damn this is over 3' long!! and about 1.5 high!!!! :eek:
-
Oh yeah I forgot to add that this was my 3rd fishing trip this year and that is the first and only fish I've caught so far this season. What a way to break a slump!!
Gratuitous punt :D
