MCTFisher9120 Posted August 30, 2009 Report Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Well, this weekend was a blast. Most importantly I caught my new PB Largemouth Bass and boy was this fish a HOG! Here's the story, We drove up there late Thursday night(Lake Seymour) and set up the trailer got some rods ready and went to bed. I set my alarm for 5:15am the next morning and it was perfect out, flat water, no breeze and not a sole out on the lake. My favorite and most productive topwater bait is a skitter pop(2"). So I fished off the main dock in the cold for a good 20-30 minutes and without a single strike. So I'm thinking O great those OFC guys are going to be right..SKUNK! Well, I was fed up so I walked across the shore to the next dock and casted out to a old retired dock that had a old broken up crib off to the side of it. On the first cast right after I set up the camera I threw the popper in and BAM! This huge bass came and swung at my bait like a train, waited a second and set the hook. With a lighter action rod and 12lb mono I was scared to death that I was going to loose it, so handling the biggest fish of my life I go 1 handed with the rod just to set up the camera and to get some of it on video lol. Let's not forget I'm 6' tall and 200lbs...the pic of me standing makes the fish look perfect in perspective. As heard on camera I thought i had a 5lb bass on so finally a nickle but nope she was bigger. Fight video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pmt6O4RfJTw Ok but as you could see in the release video she was fine and strong after a few pictures and back and forth in the water. Picture 1 and 2, man was I excited and stunned at the girth and weight of this monster that was caught from shore. 6lbs 13 ounces Again Shot with the scale 6lbs 13 ounces Can I say it again? 6lbs 13ounces More 1More And as always a animal pic and a sky picture! All and all this was the best and most exciting catch of my life and well it will be a hard fish to beat. Now that I have suppressed the nickle and a penny mark I'm on hunting for the 7lb bass! :D :D MTBF Definitely looking into a replica mount Edited October 12, 2009 by Mike The Bass Fisher
