Overcast skies drew me down to the ole swamp pond today in search of a topwater bite. I caught 5 (biggest 4lbs+-) on Horny Toads (in honor of TCU) and Ribbit Frogs. My little brother couldn't hookup, so we went to some live bait fishing off the dock. My first bite came from a 11lb 4oz hoss, and I figured it couldn't get much better. I decided to let my brother have the next fish (my rod or his), but he proceeded to miss it on my rod. When I showed him how to properly set the hook with the same rod, my line pulled back instead of coming flying back at me like I expected. After a little bit of pulling, a 12lbs even bass had been landed, pictured, and released. It beat my old biggest bass by 4 ounces.
My brother needs my horseshoe-he missed 3 more and had 3 blow ups on a shiner swimming on top before he could hook up. I wasn't leaving until he caught one. He ended up with this one between 4 and 5 pounds.
11lbs 4 oz
Bug-eyed 12lbs-had 3 more inches on her than the 11 even though she looks smaller
