First Big Bass

[silverselkie56]

Caught my first big Bass today. A 11 pound Striper, (my husband says it does not count as a bass catch, but I am counting it). This was also the first day my new (old) boat was home (1972 Chrysler Bass Runner). So two firsts in one day.<br />How big do these fish get? Any tips on how to catch them better. It was kinda an accident. I was just trying to perfect my cast with a heavier pole than usual (a cat fish pole and baitcaster)and a gold goby on it. Did not expect to catch anything.So surprised and pleased. Want to catch more now. What is good lures for them?

Congratulations!!<br /><br />No such thing as an 'accident'. Everything you did was planned and calculating. Now say that over and over until the word 'accident' no longer exists .<br /><br />Hubby's jealous, place tongue firmly between your lips and .<br /><br />Aldo

Re: First Big Bass

That was a good one. Congrats on getting hooked.<br />I have caught them around here 22 # and a 27#. others have caught them upwards to 40 and 50 pounds.<br />I use live shad when I fish for them.
