More bass . . . (and surprise!).

[Jim in VA]

I think I've found the secret to fishing - go when everyone else is at work! Played hookey again this morning. It helps to have quit your job (but that's another story). I couldn't find them in the Spoils, so went to Oxen Creek. Found this nice two pounder towards the back of the cove.

Not bad, but then went to the other side and found this nice four pounder.

That was fun. Figured I was doing pretty good so I pitched to a fallen log and my rod bent all the way down. Holy crap!! Figured I had one heck of a catfish until he surfaced and all I saw was MOUTH! Ended up landing him in the boat and according to the scale, I hit my all time best for bass - 6 pounds, 8 ounces! :lol: Woo HOO!!!!!

And no smile holding a 6 pounder....I like it!

Thanks guys. Bob G. - the smile is there, its just covered by the strain of trying to lift that big boy (girl?) with one hand and pose for the self timing camera at the same time!!

Dang that's a nice bass. I haven't landed anything close to that. I am still stuck on 5.99 (although I think it was at least 6). And congrats on quitting your job, hopefully you have another one lined up thats better for you.
