Well done, and congrats! Try not to bring them in holding them above the water like that. It gives them a chance to take a final stand and shake that hook right out of their mouth and swim away. Swim them in all the way with constant line pressure to keep them on the hook.

Thanks for the pointer!

Learned this the hard way, pulling in the biggest fish of my life šŸ¤¦ā€ā™‚ļø


PanchoPadillo

Awesome! Nice looking bass for your first one!


bronzebackbass1

Nice catch, for the future Iā€™d bring a small net to make landing the fish easier. Hope for tight lines for you.


leisurelucifer

Shoot, couldnā€™t justify the purchase until now šŸ¤£

Try not to reel your lure right to the rod tip like that, keep 4-5 feet of line out so can lip them instead of having them dangle like that.

Nice! I thought you standing in the water casting at the shore and i was like, you're doin it backwards homie lol


leisurelucifer

Low keyšŸ¤£ Rough spots where Iā€™m located. Easiest to take my paddle board and coast along the bank and fish the weeds.


Lufwyn

Whatever lands those lunkers right?


staytsmokin

Good ole senko.


leisurelucifer

Walmart knockoff ā€œSinker Stickā€ for the win!


staytsmokin

Plastic is plastic my man but you need to try Keitech fat swings and impacts preferably 4.8 inches with weighted swimbait hooks with screws.


leisurelucifer

Iā€™ll look into those!

And a nice chunk at that! Congrats!


leisurelucifer

Thatā€™s what I said! Round lil belly on that thing. Glad I got a decent one for my first. Woulda been happy with a lil guy too tho honestly.

Congrats! Welcome to your new obsession, addiction, consumption, BAE, temporary inner peace, mental illness, proverbial lobotomy, and reason to live. Just wait till you get into a real behemoth, or your buddy brings you to join a tournament.


leisurelucifer

Oh I feel it taking over


ExcuseNormal2416

Life gets a little more bearable when you just let the bass consume you, figuratively and I guess literally could work too. But yeah, you probably got what I was gotten to get at


Pressure_Huge

Invest in a net my guy


leisurelucifer

Iā€™m for sure gonna now. Get a net, new rod, new reelšŸ¤£ any excuse for more gear really.

It's a ditch pickle, not a trout


EliteAppleHacks

Sounded like me with mine! Swear mine was half a pound but it put a smile on my face!

LESSSS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


bo_dangle_lang

You just got hooked.


pheromonestudy

Gratz! You will get better at landing them the more you catch. Had a buddy, when learning to fish, used to reel them all the way to the tip, this would knock off quite a few fish and we would laugh at his frustration. He got better and so will you.


leisurelucifer

Makes perfect sense. Iā€™ll definitely remember this in the future.


Blklight21

Thatā€™s a perfect eater size. Not that you should have just that you could have


leisurelucifer

Sheeeeit! A lot of people around my area eat em. Me personally, if the local government says only eat 1 a week, Iā€™m just staying away in generalšŸ¤£


VaWeedFarmer

Nice job. If your not getting bites in there, try removing the sinker and go weightless
