My buddy and I were fishing the east shore just to the right of the north pier. I had just released a nice three pounder and was very pleased. Twenty minutes later I tossed a four-inch neon blue plastic worm about twenty yards out and hooked up again thinking that it was about the same size fish. I quickly realized that this fish was much bigger since it started peeling line off my spinning reel which only had 6 lb test Triple X. I slowly worked the bass closer to shore and it shook its head out of the water as my buddy looked on in amazement! I felt I could lose this one at any second, but kept steady pressure without pulling too hard on the light line. I finally swam it close enough to grab its lip and yell over to my buddy Troy to grab a camera and get a shot. It is my biggest bass to date. We estimate it weighed somewhere between 10 and 12 lbs. I quickly released the bass to hopefully live another day.[/size][/green][/font][/left] [left]
