My most enjoyable catch of the year this year was not my biggest fish. Here is the story: I was on a fishing trip down at my grandmas this past summer. During this trip me and littleangler were having our tourney. It was several days into the trip and I had caught my limit of bass but they were all small fish. On the day I caught my nice bass my dad and I were fishing the shoreline out in the rubber boat while we met up with some friends of ours. They said "are you catching any?" I said "ya i caught a little 1 pounder, how about you guys?" Then this guy pulls out two big 3lb+ bass out of his live well. He said good luck and left me feeling angry and a little bit jealous of his fish. I fished all afternoon from the shore and caught nothing, constantly being reminded by those big bass my friend caught. Determined to increase my weight for the tourney and to gain confidence, I went out in the boat just after supper. I fished for a good hour at my spot and when I pulled up the anchor to move to the next spot I took one more case out into the weed's with my topwater snake, and BAM! I got a huge Topwater strike and I knew it was going to be a huge fish. After I brought it to the side of the boat my heart was pumping and I was overwhelmed with excitement. I cleared the weed's off and got out the scale and this bass turned out to be 4.8lbs and 19" long. Here is a picture of the fish:
