First 'Real' Bass of 2016!

[logs22]

After a few swings/misses, spit hooks, and one unworthy dink, I finally landed my first 'real' Bass of the year. I should have known I would finally break the winter skunk at my favorite Union County pond. Hit the water around 10:30 pm and was throwing a senko on my new baitcasting set-up (still trying to master) hoping to finally christen it. I wasn't having any luck so I switched back to my old faithfull spinning rig with a 3/8 oz black/blue jig with a black zoom chunk trailer. Second cast I hooked up, and after a decent fight in the dark I ended up getting a bit wet and fishing her out by hand from the weeds/muck. No scale or tape measure but she was big enough for me to go home happy and relieved that the winter is drought is finally over!
