Hi,
my name is Aden and
my story is of an awesome fishing outing that I went
on in October. We were fishing on a small, shallow river
called Watauga River in Tennessee and we were fishing
with these sweet little inline spinners called Blue Foxes.
Well, we weren't
catching anything for the first half hour which is strange
since this is a really good spot. Then my dad said "let's
go down the river where there is not a lot of
fishing done there." We had to go through a lot of stuff
but it was worth it. There is one place that I saw as
soon as we got there; it was a place in the fast part
of the river where the current made a big M shape. I
cast my little spinner smack into he middle of that M
and started reeling, two seconds later, I felt the tug!
It was a big trout, you can tell if it is a trout by
the way it fights, the hook was set in pretty good and
I was doing all I could to keep the slack. The fight
wasn't
very long, but that big brown trout was about a foot
long! I made a few more casts before my sister noticed my success
and decided to take over my new found secret fishing hole.
I caught three more little rainbows, but that's not
the end. After my sister had been fishing the M and
had caught a few more fish, she got her spinner caught
on a stick in the water and when my dad went wading to
get it out (it is shallow where we fished), he saw a
crank bait. After getting the spinner, he picked up the
crank bait too and it turned out to be an expensive 5
inch Rapala crank bait. At the end of the day we went
home with a bucket of nice fish and a free lure! It was
great! |

Hi my name is Jacob,
I am telling you a story of fishing for catfish. I
was at Lake Eufaula, Alabama and I was trying to catch
a crappie with a minnow, suddenly my bobber went under
felt a tug and it was stronger than crappie. It pulled
so hard that it almost broke my pole. Finally I reeled
it in and it turned out to be a big flathead catfish.
I never believed catfish ate minnows. So guess what
were having for dinner, you guessed it, catfish. Goodluck
fisherman out there. |

| My
name is Dennis first and I was out night fishing with
my dad and we didn't catch one thing for three whole
hours (accept a pair of mossy sunglasses). My dad
told me to cast by the corner of the dock so I listened
to the pro and caught a lunker largemouth. |
| |
My name is Adam and
I went to Lake poway in a small boat with my dad and
my uncle. The rig we used was a bent weedless hook
and a egg sinker above it. We then used nightcrawlers and powerbait.
This combo caught us 2 catfish. But we lost 3 catfish.
Poway is a great lake and is recovering very well
from the fires. |

| Ok,
my buddy told me this happened to him three years ago.
He was fly fishing and just no fish were biting as
soon as he gave up hope, a bream bites it. While he's
reeling the
bream in a ten pound largemouth
bass jumped out of the water and grabbed the bream. My
buddy couldn't hook the giant bucketmouth because the
hook was in the breams mouth. The bream got reeled
in but the bass got away. He said "if I caught that
it would be my biggest freshwater fish ever!" I HOPE
YOU ENJOYED MY STORY!!!!!!!!!!! |

One day my dad said lets go fishin.
So we packed up and went to our favorite lake called
Pensaukee lake. When we got on the lake we decided
to go by the lily pads, so we went their and I put
on my bobber and worm and casted it right on the outside
of the lily pads.I waited and waited and finally my
bobber went down ,so I jerked hard and started reeling
it in.It jumped out of the water a few times, but I
got it in and it was a 14 in. bass.

Hi
my name is Antonio Dodson, one late
afternoon I was fishing up at a small pound out at a
small country farm. It was getting late so me and my
uncles Mark and Grubie had to do something fast I notice
some old trees that looked like a good place for a monster
bass to be nesting near. So I took a yellow grub of all
bait I had in my tackle box and pitched it out in the
heart of the tree. Shortly after I had a tug and set
the hook. The fight was on I finally landed the bass
and it weight exacly 5 pounds I was amazed and right
now its on my wall. |

I’m
Andrew and I am 16. My story took place about
six years ago. I was fishing with my dad in a cove
on the local lake. It was 3 or 4 in the afternoon,
and the sun was just beginning its slow methodical
descent behind the tree line. I heard a russling
in the nearby bushes and decided to go investigate.
A little brown mouse scurried out of the bushes and
started flopping around on its side as though it
were injured. It tumbled into the water and started
paddling across the cove. All of a sudden, a GIANT,
MONSTEROUS bass broke the surface, and gulped the
little mouse down! Then, a garder snake came out
of the same bushes and glided through the water searching
for its lost prey! It was the most amazing thing
I’d ever seen!!!!
Thanks
for reading...SKREEMIN’ REELS!!!!! |

Hi,
my name is Nick. The
other day when I went out to feed the catfish in
our pond I decided to go fishing. So, I went inside
and got a piece of bread and let it float on the
water with the food. Then I saw what I thought was
a small catfish get the bread and I waited a few
seconds then set the hook. When I got it in it turned
out to be 5 and a half pounds. The next I got some
boneless chicken and started fishing off the bottom.
Within 1 minute I had a fish on the pole. It took
ten minutes to reel the fish in. When I got it on
land it was a 9 and a half pound Channel. I broke
the lake record twice in two days. |

My
name is David age 14. I
was fishing in Lake Mead on a late night. We were
fishing north of
the fish hatchery. We hung some lights over the side
of the boat. The striped bass came and surrounded
the boat. First the bugs came then the shade and
then
the striped
bass. We used anchovies, squid and shade. That night
we caught at least 60 striped bass. All of the stripers
that night were 8” or more. It was a good night
of fishing. |

Luke,
age 13, Ga:
I live on a 305 acre lake. I was fishing up against
the dam with a Zoom lizard
and I put my rod down to help my friend when BOOM!
The big bass hit with brute force, taking the lure
down.
After a good five-minute fight, he gave in. We weighed
him and he weighed in at 5.0 pounds with a length of
20 inches , a girth of 13.4 and a width of 7.0 inches.
His mouth was so big that I could fit both of my fists
in it. Hope you guys enjoy, Luke Weathersby |

Benjamin
Downs - Hudson Falls, NY: I was
fishing in the hudson river with a new lure I just
bought . After
about 20 min. I had to
get home. I cast one last time, then I felt a tug.
Was it a fish? I found out no, it was not, it
was 2 bass on
1 lure. After about 2 min. I got them both back in
the water. One unharmed and one with a hole the
size of a
nickle or quarter. One fish was 1 foot long and the
other was 7 inches. |

Matt
age 13 PA: Well, we were out early
in the morning about spring time
fishing for bass in a private pond up by Lake Nockamixon,
Pennsylvania. Well through the whole day I only caught
one bass about 1 pound. So I decided to mess around
with some bait called Cat blood which is like a raw
smelly dough bait. So I tossed it out with a split
shot at the end so it sank to the bottom. After a couple
of minutes I decided it wasn't working but when I tried
to reel it in; I was having a really rough time. I
thought I was stuck along the bottom until the line
started
to go out. After about 3 or 4 minutes I brought the
Cat Fish in, and it weighed in at 20 lbs. After looking
it up I guess it was either a channel or a flat head
cat fish. |

My
name is Zack,
I,m 12 years old and I'm going to tell you about
my first bass I ever caught
in my life. Once I was fishing
in the Wilimantic-Scottland Connetticut area and I
was fishing at about 8:30,
9:00 - around that time. I was fishing in a big pond
with night crawlers. I cast out, next thing I know,
I had a bass on my hook. It weighed close to a pound.
What
was so amazing about it was the way it attacked my
bait, and how much power it had in the struggle it
put up.
I was so proud of myself. |

| Broc's
big bass: One
day while on the way to my granny and paw-paw's house
where there was a pond, I decided to use a new pack
of worms that I had just bought at Academy. It was
a pack of camo colored baby brushhogs. Everyone told
me that they would never work. When I got there I
realized that the bass weren't gonna be very active
because of the clear sky and hot temperature. I started
fishing and after two hours I had only caught one
small bass. Then I walked around the pond and stopped
near an island that looked pretty good. My first
cast was near three blades of grass in the middle
of open water. before my bait had time to reach the
bottom I saw my line swimming to my left. When I
set the hook the bass pulled me down and started
pulling drag. After about a two minute fight I pulled
him up against a grass bed that extended from the
bank. Without even thinking, I jumped in the waist
deep water and lipped the bass. Then I walked back
to my grandparents' house and took pictures. The
bathroom scale that I weighed him on said that he
was 8lbs. We later weighed him at the taxidermist
and he weighed 7.2 lbs. We have him mounted in my
paw-paw's office next to the pond where I caught
him. |

I
was fishing in Lake Summit (Florida) an there was
a professional fishing tournament that same
day. All the Pros already weighed in their fish and
they were all lined up on the beach in there shiny
Ranger
bass boats. My dad wanted to go show all of them
our bass that we caught. My dad said, reel your line
in, there is just enough room for us to pull in there.
About that
time I set the hook on a 17 pound bass an landed it.
After we got over the shock of what I just caught,
we pulled in between all the Pros and my dad said, "Hey
look what my son caught!" they all laughed and said "what
he catch him on, a
little bass?" and my dad said yeah. The $200,000
tournament winner weighed in at 10 pounds. My dad said
get the big one and I
reached in there an pulled out two 8 pounders and they
all freaked out. Dad said "No, get the big one" and
I said"
can I dad?" he said yes. So I threw them back into
the lake. They said "you going to let them go?" he
said yeah. So
my dad said get the big one, I got two 4 pounders out
and let them go. Then I grabbed 2 more, then 2 more,
then 2 more. This went on for like 5
minutes. They said, "Dang they caught 26 pounds
of bass!" Dad said wait, show them the big one.
They all said "you
had a 10 pounder?" and he said "that's not
the big one". They all said there isn't any way
that there is a bigger one in that
live. Well, that's when I pulled that 17 pounder out.
They all about fell over. I threw them all back. It
was funny, one of the Pros asked
me to for my autograph, but he was just playing as a
joke. |

My
name is Christian. Once,

My
name is Karen and I am from Alabama. I
do not know how often this would work, if it ever
worked again. Here it goes,
my
mom,
dad and
I were all fishing one day at our usual place and had
not had a bite all day. My mom was tired of the worms,
crickets, and liver bait, it just was not doing it for
the fish we could see gliding by us, and slapping their
tail at us. She took out our frosted flakes dipped some
down in the water to get it wet and made a ball around
the hook. She swooshed it on out in the water and as
soon as my dad said "awww that will never work,
its done fell off by--" She got one!!! The biggest
one out there, it turned out to be the very one the owner
of the lake said they had never been able to catch and
it sort of had become their pet, since it would swim
so close you could almost touch it. Mom caught a few
more
after that with her new bait and my dad was thrilled
to be leaving when we did, we did not go many more trips
after that. I never have tried it again, and my mom has
not fished again since then. If anyone tries it I would
be tickled to know how it turned out. Thanks for letting
me share my story. |

My
name is Eric. I was fishing an a small
pay lake on time and it was a boring day. Me and me friend

We did not even had a bite all day. It was so boring.
Then I deiced to mess around and through out a spinner
bait. Then the day picked up. We were catching monster
largemouth bass left and right. |

Hi
I'm Sawyer age 12,
I've been fishing for almost 3 years. Well this one
time, me
and
my big
brother
went fishing in the Iowa River of Marshall town, Iowa.
We were at on of the dams. Lots of people catch huge
fish there so we decided to try it. After about a
hour or so we caught our first fish it was a baby
channel
catfish. It was 7 inches long. We caught about 5 more
we kept two of them. My brother cut them up to chum
the water. After that we caught huge fish from walleye
that
weight over 10 pounds to flatheads that weighed over
20 pounds. They were huge. We were going to call
it a day but my brother said he wanted to go explore.
We were
exploring and we found a little stream that went to
the river we decided to fish there for a little bit.
We caught
a few big smallmouth bass that were 14 inches long
and weighed 2 pounds. Then as we were leaving my
brother said
lets try one more cast each so we did. My cast caught
another smallmouth bass that was 2 and a half pounds
and 15 inches. My brother put on a chub and chummed
the water again. He went to the mouth of the stream
and
casted
to the other side he caught a 34 inch 25 pound northern
pike that he let me reel in it was the biggest fight
I have ever been through. It took me about 30 minutes
to
reel it in and it was only in a stream! Well thanks
for reading my story. |

| Hi,
my name is Jeff -Age 7. I went fishing with my dad
in the summer. We went in
a boat on a lake. We started the motor and got to a
clear spot with no weeds. I put a worm on my hook,
cast out my hook, and then a largemouth bass took my
hook. I reeled him in all by myself, and then we released
him. It was a good day. |

Hi. My name is Jessie and
I live on Lake Gogebic which is a lake where
everyone from everywhere come to fish year 'round!
I guess they think it is good fishing! I love
to fish it is probably my favorite thing to do!
After all I live on a lake!!! But anyway....my
cousin/best friend and I always fish;...After
school=go fishing After church=Go fishing so
on and so forth. Well we never catch any thing!
One day when we went fishing she got her hook
caught on her sweat shirt pocket so we decided
to head home! We got to the truck and got in
and we were gonna go down the road a ways to
a better spot where we thought would have scissors
to cut the hook out and when we got there she
went to get out and she was STUCK!!! She was
hooked to her sweat shirt and the seat belt now!
Finally my dad came to save the day (even though
it was an hour later) we made it home and still
with NO fish! |

Hi. My name is Rebecca. I am 8 years old. I am writing about my second fishing trip. I fish at Marsh Creek. We were not catching many Largemouth Bass. My dad caught 11 Inch ones. When we were about to give up, I thought I hooked some weeds. But my dad pointed out it was a fish! When we got it into the boat dad measured it. Wow! It was 15 inches! Dad said it weighted a pound. I think it weighted a kilogram or two. |

Hi my name is Marc. I
was at my cabin up at lake of the woods and me
and my friend were fishing in this bay that is
only about 5 ft deep. I heard there was big fish
in that particular bay but I never believed it
because I have been fishing there for about 3
yrs and hadn't caught one fish over 10 inches.
Me and my friend Ryan were just about to leave
when I made one last cast into about 2ft of water.
It was a Tube Technology bait usually for bass
but I kept it on. As I was reeling it in I had
a strike right next to the boat but I didn't
get him so we decided to stay a little longer
to
see if we could catch him. I only saw the tail
of it and it was a northern. After a while he
struck again right away and then hit it again
a second time. It took about 10 minutes for me
to get him to the side of the boat. My friend
netted it and took both of us to get him in the
boat. It was a 35 inch long , 10 pound northern. |

My name is James: Last year me and my dad went fishing in Tenn. and we were not having luck until we saw Dude had about 15 crappie. So I decided to throw a crappie jig near rocks
and I has something big on my line but
I didn't know what it was. I asked my dad for help but he said no and I got it in and it was a 4 lb 6 oz bass and it was hardly hooked. I don't know why I didn't lose it but I was glad I didn't. That is the biggest fish I ever caught before at Montgomery Bell State Park. The rest of the day I caught like 10 crappie!! Thanks for reading my story!!! |

I am now 50, however growing up on Cape Cod in the 1960's made for stories upon stories about fishing. Even though we lived right on Westport River and
had a boat, my dad and I in the early spring, before we put our boat in the water used to drive to a fishing spot that no other person fished. We would park on the road, walk down the edge of a hay field to the edge of the river. There was a small point of marsh that the channel came right up to, if you looked to the left you would see Hix Bridge and to the right, you were looking down Westport River toward the islands. Across the channel from the marsh point and to the right was a very small island which had a weathered house, a summer home that hardly anyone ever stayed in. We went there after school and it never mattered what the tide was or even the weather. All we had to do was to put a wooden popper with a buck tail on and then "KAPOW"!!! We usually used our boat rods, casting rods with a 306 or 406 Mitchell. We also brought our small gear in case the fish were schoolies. Well, this one evening I was using the small pole with 10 pond test monofilament line. We caught a few small ones. It was a beautiful evening, no wind, the water was flat calm, so calm that you couldn't tell where the water stopped and land started. The sun was already down, but it wasn't dark yet. I threw out the plug and popped it a few times when all of a sudden a swirl behind the plug, then BANG I had him on. 15 pounds of of one of the best fighting sports fish you can catch, "a stripped bass". and to this day, like a snap shot in my mind, I remember he came out of the water with his gills wide open trying to shake the plug out of his mouth. I was 12 or 13 then, and there are many other fishing stories that I could tell you. But, this is the one that sticks in my mind's eye when I think about fishing with my dad. |

Brian from Hanover Massachusettes: I'm 13 years old, and i'm going to tell you about my trip to Lake Champlain, Vermont, New York, and Canada. We fished out off my dad's 20 ft. ranger bass boat with a 200 horse powered Johnson motor. The ramp we launched from was in New York, it was so close to canada, that you could look into it. Day 1: I hooked into a 6 1/2 pound Largemouth bass and ended up with 26 bass (smallmouth and largemouth). Our fishing started at about 6:00 am, and we called it a day at 3:00. Day 2: I caught 33 bass inclueding a nice quality 4 pound smallie. the water was about 72º eachday. We fished weedy shorelines, and fished 3 large humps , at about 3-5 ft. The humps dropped down to 25 -30 ft. The smallie's were crazy on early top water each day. Day 3: My dad halled in a huge Northern Pike thhat weighd in at 12 pounds 13 ounces and was 32 in. long. I ended up with another large smallie and largemouth. The smallie was 4 pounds 4 ounces, and the largemouth was 5 pounds 10 ounces. I ended the weekend with a total of 90 bass, with 31 on the last day. The lunker smallie of the trip was my dads 5 pounds 5 ounces. And i caught the lunker mlargemouth for the weekend... 6 1/2 pounds.
Our trip was great and I recommend Lake Champlain greatly to all fisherman, however our weekend in Northern New york was good while down in Ticonderoga, the water was grose color, with hydrella everywhere, and
muddy water, and the fish weren't one bit active there when we fished off the shore on the way home. We had lots of fun fishing it, if you do stick with lures that work. We found that white or silver colored spinner
baits were a great use on windy days. And we used watermelon/red 4 inch lizards commonly along with watermelon/red 5 inch Gary Yamoto sancos. And Pumpkin rattletraps in deeper and more cold water. Have fun... |

Hi Im Tyler Ellmer Last Sunday I went fishing down at a lake by my house with a couple of friends and I got 5 good hits. By the 4th hit I got a 7 pound Carp on. It toke me 6/2 minutes to get it on land. It gave me a very good fit it was almost pulling me in the water. I cote 2 big Carps and I got a sour on my arm. But at first it looked like a Small Mouth bass but it was a big Carp. |

Dustin Catoe: On April,3 I went striper fishin behind the dam. Oh,by the way I live in south carolina. anyways as I was sayin I was fishin behind the dam and I was usin my Zebco Rhino with 10 pound Trilene test line and bucktails. After a couple throws they started runnin the water behind the dam and that's when I started fishin. Then all of a sudden I got this huge bite and my line just tookoff. So I tightened up my drag and I pulled it in it must've been a little over 4 minutes before I got'em in. when I finally got'em he was 32 pounds.That's the biggest striper I've ever caught. |

one time when I was about 8 I was fishing with my dad. it seemed like a lousy day tide was out and it was only about ten feet deep. I through my
bait out and started putting shad on my other pole. my dad was walking past me and all of the sudden the pole shot over the edge, but somehow my dad managed to catch it and reel it in some. it crossed some other
peoples line but they said it was no problem for the fish I caught. my dad reeled it in most of the way since I wasn't as strong as I am now. the line I was fishing with was only about 6 lbs. test and the fish felt
allot bigger. I asked my dad if he could get the other guys crab net that was lying there so he did the guy didn't mind and we pulled it up with it. the fish on the end was 18 inches a stripped bass and weighed 8
and a half pounds. when we got home it was shock to my mom. this was the first time we ever brought a fish home. we were going to my uncles who is a fisherman on the superbowl. we felleid it in his backyard. in the
stomach we found some small minnows eaten whole. that is still the biggest fish I ever caught since I mainly lake fish. one time I caught a 19 inch but it didn't have as much mass that the 18 incher stripped bass. |

Hi,my name is Cody age 11 well it all started when my brother(Kyle) got home from college,and one thing we always do when he gets home is go fishing! So when he pulled in the drive way i
asked him "Kyle,when are we goin down to the Fox River?" The fox river is a river in the woods behind us he said "well,when can you be ready?" Right away!, Ianswered so when we got there, we tied
our hooks to our line and sinkers and then put the corn (the bait) on our hook and casted it out, let it sank,and waited...it was much time before anything even touched hooks, we were catchin a few small fare sized
carp (around 23'') and before I knew it I looked at my pole just in time to see it go splash right into the river then my brother plunged in after it then a second later I saw him come up with a gasp and start
heading towards shore with my pole in his hand and amazingly the carp was still on I shouted to him in a hurry "hurry up, the carp is still hooked!" He rushed to shore, handed the pole to me and I faught
it for a good 16 minutes and my brother was amazed he kept saying "this must be a whale"and when he pulled it out of the water it was about 21" and 6lbs then we headed home (in sorrow). |

Hi my name is Brett. One day I was setting out a rope for this one monster catfish in my Darbone Hills subdivision lake. I heard that this guy caught about 100 40 to 100 lb cats off a trotline, and put them in the lake. So I set out the rope with some catfish doghballs. I had put on my best hook that could hold 150 lbs of pressure. The next day I came back where I had set out my rope . I saw the rope and it was tight but it wasnt movin. So I started rapping the rope and pullin it up. It was so heavy I thoght it was a log. I got out of the water a 3ft long , 200lb alligator snappin turtle. So I went up to the house , but the people who let me fish there weren't home. I went up to my friends house next . Luckily he was home . I told him what had happened , so we rode our bikes as fast as we could . When we got there we started pullin the rope. We are both 12 playin football at our junior high, so were pretty strong benchin 100. we couldnt get this thing in so far, so I pulled as hard as I could with my friend Justin. All of a sudden the hook popped out of the turtles mouth. The hook was bent so much that it was almost straight. When I tried to make the hook sraighter with pliers I couldnt make the thing budge. I hope you liked my story. |

Hi my name is Kevin. The rainbow bull (Peacock Bass)was the biggest and strongest bass iv'e ever fought and caught. It is a pretty but powerful fish,they are yellow with three vertical black bars and a green and red tail with a black spot.(Heres where the story began) I was at my cousins house on his dock fishing in his lake using a baby blue gill ( 2 inches ) hooked through the bottom lip and fished on a bobber ( 3 feet above the bait ) so I casted out about 5 feet.Then about 10 seconds went by and a strike of such force smashed into the bait it was so strong it pulled a muscle and it took me 41/2 minutes to land and when I got a glimpse of it in the water it looked like a rianbow. when i got it on the dock I wieghed it ,it wieghed 10 LBS.I released it , that was my greatest battle and hope to encounter greater. |

My name is Mark Duberry and this is my story.........I went up to my camp grounds in Spotsylvania County VA. and was fishing all the ponds and lakes. I didnt catch hardly anything all day and then as we were about to leave its was about 5:30-6:00 at night so as we are leaving. I saw a pond through some trees that we had not fished. I asked my dad if I could try it and he said sure what the heck but just for 10 minutes. So I cast out my favorite color rubber worm and something takes the rubber worm right off my hook. So I put another on and sure enough cought a 2 1/2 pound largemouth bass then another right as I released the first one and casted back out (about the same size) didn't even get to bounce the worm once. So it got dark and after my dad saw the bass finally come out we stayed another night then the next morning went back and used the same bait and I caught a 4 pounder and my dad said I only had 10 minutes but within that time I caught 9 bass so he casts out and starts nailin'em and we ended up staying up at the pond for almost three hours we caught over 45 bass........that is my story I hope you post it. |

I set the hook but no fish so I reeled in and just dropped my worm beside the boat and right when it hit the water the fish took it and the fight was on I got her in the boat and she weighed 7 1/2 pounds. |

Hi, My name is Ryan and I live in southern Virginia and I am 11 years old. One of my fishing stories took place in the end of August with my friend J.T. (10) at my pond behind my
house. I had just casted out one Zebco 404 of three. I was baiting up my second rod with Tyson chicken livers when I saw the rod that I had just casted out move, I told my friend to check and see If there was
anything on the line. So, when he picked up the rod the rod flew out of his hand and into the water. I jumped up and went after the rod, which was about two feet feet away from the shore at that time. Once I got the
rod I began to reel and pull. J.T. just stood and watched in amazement. I got the fish in on the bank and it was a carp, probably about 42 inches long and about 40 pounds!!! It broke the line before I could weigh or
measure it but that is just an estimate. Just to give you an idea of how big it was it broke the inside of my reel but I was able to fix it. |

My name is Ichad. The biggest bass that I caught is 10 lbs. and 11 ounzes in Alabama at Tennessee River. When I pulled I thought I was hung up. My stepdad said "You hung
again?" and I said "I don't think so." About that time I pulled again and that time my rod almost came out of my hands. I put a death grip on the rod and fought for the longest time. It never jumped
out of the water. My stepdad said "What do you have on the end of your line?" I said. "I don't know!" Roger, that's my stepdad's real name and he is real good to me. Anyway, I fought the fish for
about four to five minutes. That's the longest time I ever fought for a fish. When I got it to the boat, Roger scooped it in the net then into the boat. We went straight to the bank to put the boat on the trailer,
then staight to the place where they mount bass and deer and stuff. That was the biggest day of my life. |

Once me and my friend went fishing at a local lake by my house. Its called East Lake and is located in Orange County. By my fishing spot a
willow tree was being cut down and branches were falling and sinkin in the water. Jake and I knew this was the perfect thing for bass so we cast our lines into the branches and caught a few largemouth bass in the
1-2 lb. range. Then when we were about to give up my line slowly started to go out i grabbed mypole and waited till it was actually biting and when it did bite i set the hook and my pole bent like a candy cane. It
took me 15 minutes to get it in and when we got it out of the water we measured the length (24 inches)and the girth (16 inches). The weight was about 7.6 lbs. My biggest ever pulled out of any lake. |
