Dave Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) As luck would have it, on the FMZ 17/18/20 bass opener my boss handed me a run that would take me past some nice bass holes. Hmmm, gotta be careful how you say that... Anyway, I decided to make a video at one of them. It didn't go well. Step one, set up tripod and camera Step two, short intro on lure selection Step three, proceed to make six casts and catch three bass, each one about a pound, pound and a half Step four, beam proudly and tell the viewers how the Xzone Swammer on a weighted hook is an absolute bass magnet Step five, notice that the video camera hadn't been turned on. RESTART! Step one redux, start casting again, completely forgetting the intro Step two, catch small pike that destroys the last Swammer Step three, switch to a Slammer and get nothing, not surprising since they're better for drop-shotting RESTART AGAIN! Step one (again), Switch to a spinner bait Step two, utterly fail to notice that the rod has been assembled with the guides totally out of alignment Step three, proceed to catch smaller bass because you've given the larger ones sore mouths Step four, post embarrassing video anyway, because FISHING! Enjoy. Or not, I wouldn't want to be arbitrary. Watch at 1080p for maximum embarrassment https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=llDs30GLRfI Edited July 1, 2014 by Dave Bailey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kickingfrog Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 I'm sure all those big time fishing show hosts started out much the same. Thanks for taking the time. Nice spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikeslayer Posted July 1, 2014 Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 Enjoyed it Dave. Is that a Pflueger reel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bailey Posted July 1, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2014 (edited) Enjoyed it Dave. Is that a Pflueger reel? It is, a President. Was on a matching rod until I broke it, Tightlines in Pickering (I miss that place) replaced it no charge with a Shakespeare when Pflueger took ages sending a replacement. Apparently they come off the same production line and are virtually identical. Doesn't really matter to me, as far as I'm concerned the most important thing in fishing is to get something in front of their nose, they don't care what it's attached to.
