[QUOTE="RUGER, post: 3215435, member: 275"] Went to Martin today and did a little fishing. I was using my ultralight with a Strike King "Bitsy Minnow" in the crawfish color. For colored / murkey water this is my favorite color. I lost the only one I had the other day so I went and bought TWO of them so I would always have one. I caught a bass on about the third cast. Then on my fourth I hung a good fish and got it all the way to the bank. It was a crappie and I swear I bet it would have weighed very close to 2 pounds. Alas, it is just the "one that got away" though. I moved to another spot to kinda get out of the massive wind. I started whackin them pretty good then. After I caught 4 or 5 I decided to cut the lure off and re-tie to make sure I didn't break off since I was using 6 pound test. On my very next cast I got a bite and set the hook. Broke clean off and there goes my first lure. I stood there and couldn't believe it but tied on my extra one that I bought. VERY next cast, bite, hook set, broke line. :mad: I had my bait caster with me so I found a crawfish colored crankbait. This is where it really got strange. Ever heard the expression "rip their lips off" ? On about my third cast I got a bite and set the hook. I missed the fish but when I reeled it in I saw some "grass" on the hook. Raised it up to clean it off and this is what I saw. :eek: [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v511/RUGER7750/lips_zpsd4f92ef2.jpg[/img] The fish's entire upper lip was attached. :D Finally tried a yellow rooster tail and they decided they liked that color. Ended up with 18 bass and 1 trout. Every bass was between a pound and a pound and a half, minus two. One was considerably smaller and one was pushing 2 pounds. ( all weights estimated) After I threw my 4th fish back a guy from across the "lake" hollered and told me to quit throwing all them fish back, he was on the way with his basket. I gave him the next 7 bass I caught and he left with supper. :D Pretty good day. Oh and went to walmart tonight and got me 3 more lures. :D [/QUOTE]
