There is nothing like a deflated Ego to ruin an otherwise perfect trip. On 9/9 my wife, daughter and I hit lake X for a few hours after work. We were having a great day picking up several fish in the one to two pound range. Just as it got dark, I tied into a beauty that pushed the scales at just over four pounds. Now you would think my wife would let me enjoy that moment for a little while, but No. She let me bask in my glory for all of about five minutes before tying into this Brute! A six + pound bronze. What a pig, it was almost 21 inches long and very thick. This would have been the biggest bass I had ever caught, had I actually been the one to catch it. The picture of her fish doesn't do it justice. I should be shot for my picture taking inabilities in the dark, but at least I got 3/4 of the fish in the picture instead of just a fin.
