Congrats, 1rst bass and a nice one at that. The fever has started. I usually only get to fish saturdays now (3-7 days a week for 5 years until last July), but tonight I made I made a quick hour at a local lake. I got skunked for the 4th or 5th time in a row, but I'll be back. Most of the fall I was averaging 3 fish for that same hour + jaunt. Once I catch a fish on swimbait I'll look for some numbers. But, I know I have much more zeros ahead while I learn this new technique.
Last Jan. I caught my first Largemouth. A year later I have a 10+, multiple 8's, and a bunch of 3-5's. Most of these fish came from late night ventures (after the wife and baby were asleep) to a couple ponds that most people thought were dead. The place seems to have slowed again, but I still hit it after work sometimes when I have a few extra minutes. Time on the water is the key. The more time you spend, the more you'll catch. Of course hanging around here helps a lot. In fact, thanks again to all the folks that helped me last year. These boards are the reason I tried freshwater bass fishing.
