6-1 largemouth.

Went down to a stretch of river I like to fish for big largemouth with dreams of a 6-10lb bass on my 9" bullshad. The thought kept running through my head that I was going to catch a big bass today, and not just any old bass....a bass I have tangled with before. Or at least I believe I have. I missed a big bass on a tree a few weeks back on a shakyhead that I felt but lost after a few head shakes. Never stuck it. Well when I got to that tree today I tossed a 6" green pumpkin Yum dinger in the exact spot and looked down for a second. When I looked up my line had ran 5ft out of the tree to the right. I reeled down tight and set the hook. The fish just slowly started heading for deep water. That's when I knew it was big. It just started turning my yak and then taking line like it was easy. I was thinking 8+ at first with the strength of this bass. When I finally got it to the surface after several hard runs I could see it was about 6lbs. The hook was gone down it's mouth so I eased her over and lipped her nice and easy like it's meant to go. She was a beautiful, fat and healthy largemouth that went 6-1. But there was a dilema, no one there to take a decent pic and my phone has no timer. I did get a good one on another camera but have to get to a computer to upload it off the memory card. I also caught 3 spots under a pound on the sammy and also missed a huge bass on the sammy, just saw a hump back go over the top but miss....it was BIG! I think it was a big shoal bass from it's location. Got one more dink largie on the dinger and also missed a few on my way back up on the sammy.

Nice greenie! It is convenient that you get pics of your bass, but not Smilie's!

The phone that had her pics took got ruined in a defective dry box. But yeah, it is convenient.
