I set out yesterday in hopes of catching a big bass at my f-i-l's buddy's place. I set out a couple of poles with a minnow and bobber, but never had any takers. I was catching quite a few bluegills and finally caught one that seemed small enough to use for bait. It wasn't out long until I hooked up with this bass... I figured that was a good stopping point and the heat of the day was starting to get to me. After a much needed round of rain I talked my f-i-l to going back out to see if the rain had the fish stirred up. He started off hooking into a nice one only to have it spit the hook. He thought he had hooked into another nice one, but apparently this guy had more fight then size... He finally hooked up with a nice one a few casts after that... While we were trying to take a picture of that one, I saw one of my bobbers go under and turns out my old friend wanted to play... I was using nightcrawlers trying to catch a few bluegills and my bobber went under pretty hard. Once I started reeling I knew it wasn't a bluegill. I caught this one on my ultra light bluegill rig with four pound test. It was a fun, fun fight...
