Comedy of errors. I got the bait recommended to me by “Dan” a nice stranger. I twisted my ankle yesterday so today I went to the boat landing where there is a flat pier to limp to. I was slip bobbing a leach and casting Dan’s recommendation. It was overcast starting and the sun came out and pow! That blue worm got hammered. So much so my 2- piece rod came apart right after the strike. Reeling in the bass and my rod tip together was a sight to watch I’m sure. However he was soon landed with the help of my Fraybill net. I would like to add that I am fairly new to inland fishing and this 2-1/4 lb. largemouth is my best so far. Average for most of you but a delight to me. Thanks Dan and the Man upstairs for my special day, Ashley.
