Well it was pretty slow tonight. Not even a bite on the Junebug Zipper. One tick on the drop w/ a black and blue spinnerbait. Tried slow rolling it for maybe a 1/2 hr. Then I tied on a black bucktail jig w/ a chart. feather wrapped w/ it, and a dark blue pig. This is where it got fun. I had worked it for maybe 15 min. when I got a nice hit. I stopped winding hoping for a rebite. Well I got it. Watched the curve in the line disappear, and when it went taut I set the hook.

It was a fun fight, but not great. Didn't even take line on 6lb, just pulled real heavy w/ big headshakes. I actually thought maybe I'd snagged a big cat. But, man was it a nice bass. If it had been a Calico it would have gone 9lbs I'm sure. But, it wasn't, probably would've gone 7lbs. It actaully had real teeth, even gave me bass thumb, and it was a quick release. One of those fish where you wish you had been fishing w/ a friend.

Got nothing but a few bites for the rest of the night. Definitely will have to hit it tomorrow after work.
