I went out fishing yesterday afternoon, skipped out of work early. I hooked a nice bass on the end of a long cast. She jumped right away and we saw how big she was. I just wanted her to stay hooked. Im glad she did and I was glad my buddy Rich was right there with the net. Anyway I noticed the fish had a piece of its tail missing, a scar I had seen before. Not the usual spawning scars that are normally on the bottom of the tail, but she had a chunk missing in the middle.

Well when I got home I realized I had just re-caught the same fish as I had earlier in the year. The first time was on 4-10-10 so yesterday was 66 days later. I caught her 1/2 mile across to the other side of the 66 acre lake I was fishing. First time on a jig and this time on a crank bait. The fish was def smaller yesterday then it was during pre-spawn.
here is the picture from last time, compare the tails
