i rarely fish for bass anymore, but i am going tuesday.
last friday was no exception but i didnt catch a nice smallie. i was jigging a small crappie tube up and down to catch sunfish to cut up for bait for catfish, and then wam. Smallie takes me for a run.
funny thing is, i only caught 2 smallies last year. And both came out of the same exact spot. the bigger one was eaten, the only black bass i have ever kept, and to be honest ill probably never keep another, yuck. The smaller one was 10", so i seriously doubt its the same fish.
Our battle was short but very exciting.
a hair shy of 17" and 2lbs on the nose.
