Joe Pool, Texas

Date Fished: 03/20/05 Water Temperature: 0 Water Clarity: 0

Woke up Sunday and looked outside to a beautifull day. I knew that no matter what I was going to go fishing. I cooked a great barbeque and told my wife that I feel it today. She said what do you mean. I told her I just feel it, I feel that I will catch fish today. My only option was to bank fish from lloyd park. Performance wise I was having the worst day. I spent the first hour pulling out my birds nests (every single cast). At one point I was sitting in the mud having to restring my reel. What do you think happened when I got it back to where I could cast again? you guessed it I got a final birds nest. Keep in mind that this is my brand new reel, I am still trying to learn my drag and brake when I adjust lures. Actually in mind I had the drag and brake backwards. I was so pissed at this Abu pg5. I ended up going into the woods and found a good spot. I had to cast with my left hand because trees were everywhere. Long story short I caught my biggest bass so far. A nice 20 incher. This was a beautifull moment for me. Theres something special about being by yourself in nature and hooking your biggest bass to date. No competition - just you, nature, and your nice catch. I had my drag so tight that this fish felt like a brick in the water. She tried to get away but couldn't. I am so lucky that she didn't break my line with my drag so tight. I had never felt a bass of this power.
Next cast I lost the skirt to my spinner bait. Luckily I had one more lure. On my second cast with that lure . I caught another nice fish. he went 18 inches. It was as if the fish gods said, " you know he has had the worst day performance wise - Give him a bass or two but make them good". Goes to show you that you never know whats going to happen when you are out fishing. You could be doing everything right and never catch a fish or you could do everything wrong and catch your biggest fish to date.

Fish on!!!!
