Landlord + Arrogance = Bass Thumb!!!
I went out with Chuck to a local pond on Saturday from 7:30am - 2:30pm for a nice full day of fishing. The weather was perfect...overcast with a slight breeze. Chuck started throwing popper's and frogs, while I threw a weighted worm. The worm bite was on for the first hour as I was able to land my big fish of the day. Chuck switched to the spinner bait and started putting numbers in the boat. We then frogged on top of the slime and lily pads and added another 20 or so fish. By noon time we put around 60 fish in the boat. I was the first to put on a jig and was catching small bass with some keepers mixed in every other cast for around 15 minutes until Chuck finally switched to one himself. Chuck started throwing out towards some rocks and that's when the big ones started to come in. He landed a couple hogs within a 30 minute period and I added a couple 3 pounders of my own. We easily put over 100 bass in the boat and my thumbs definately paid the price. Chuck's years of angling have allowed him to grow a tolerance for bass thumb due to his calices lol!
Our 5 biggest of the day were: Chuck 5lbs 11oz's, Chuck 4lbs 11 oz's, me 4lbs 10oz's, Chuck 4lbs 2oz's and me 3lbs 14oz's....a nice 23 pound limit! Thanks for joining me out on an awesome day of fishing!
Awsome day of fishing! Working today, off fishing with my brother tomorrow. Reading stuff like this at work gets you fired up!!
