First largemouth

Caught my first largemouth bass in a long time the other day. It bit on the first cast, which lends support to my theory that the fish don’t bite once they figure out you’re there.

It bit on a regular old worm too. Nothing fancy. Sort of makes a mockery of the bass fishing industry.

I bet it would have tasted good. But because it was the first cast and it was really close to the slot limit, I tossed it back.

Hopefully there will be more bass in my future. But now that I’m freelancing, I don’t feel comfortable spending time fishing, no matter how much I feel I deserve it.
