[size 2]Yes!!!!!!!!!!!
I got my first bass of the year. I went out fishing with Tony of "Tantrum Lures" for a couple hours. This was the first time that Tony and I had ever fished together. I had my little boat and we met at a local little mill pond. For the first hour or so we were just throwing big baits that we were just testing. Then I put on one of my Sink-N-Fool baits in the natural shad color to try. Tony wanted to fish the shallows so I went over to a shallow flat with cattails all around it. I had a nice hit here on my bait but missed it. We fished for about 10 min. without any hits in the shallows, So I went over to where I thought the fish would be in some deep water timber. It was a steep bank with quite a few tree that had fallen into about 12 ft of water.I put on a Sink-N-Fool in a pearl with some black flake and cast to a down trees with lots of branches. I just let the bait do it's thing and let it sink. I never felt a strike in this high 30's water it just got heavy and I set the hook. The line took off and I knew I has a nice fish. After a short battle up came a really fat 16 1/2" bucketmouth, the prettiest thing I ever did see. AND STUPID, STUPID me I didn't bring the camera! I coulda kicked myself. So I measure the fish and let em go. I'll never go out without my camera again though. Anyway right after that I noticed that Tony had taken off what he was fishing and put on one of my Sink-N-Fool baits. I got a real chuckle outa that one.
We fished a few more min. but it was getting really cold and starting to get dark so we packed it in. But I will be back at the pond "with my camera" in the near future.[/size]
