One breath. One shot. 55 feet down. Personal Best bass - 41lbs
It's a truly amazing sight to see. Take a deep breath, dive down in 50+ feet of water into a massive school of the biggest bass ever seen. As the sea of fish parts beneath you and you slowly settle to the bottom (did I mention it was 55 feet down! Yow!) the fish begin to return and form a circling funnel all around you. It was a tornado of bass all in the 30 to 60 lb class - no exaggeration. An actual Bass-nado. The difficult part was to hold your breath long enough to be able to hone in on the largest fish in the school. One fish limit. One shot. When I shot my fish I knew it was a PB by far but I also knew that if I had just a little more air and a little more patience, I could have picked out one for the record books. I shot a bruiser but there were fish in the Bass-nado that were much bigger. Really exciting stuff. It lets you see what your sonar/fishfinder is really seeing. You just have to have the stones to jump in the water and take a look (55 feet down). ![]()
