I took a friend from church for his first ever bass fishing trip this past Saturday. We hit a local electric only lake for a few hours in the evening. The weather was all over from light rain to bright and sunny. Started out with baby brush hogs and senkos to see if we could get him his first bass. We fished for about an hour and I kept getting soft short strikes and couldn't hook up for the life of me. I downsized to a beaver and still couldn't get a hookup. switched to a smallie beaver then a 4" shakey head and still the fish were only bumping it. Decided I was going to go the other way and broke out a 12" curly tail worm. On the second cast I catch a little guy about the same size as my bait. and a few casts later land a nice 2.5lb chunk. I am on to something. I get my buddy switched over to the new monster bait and before the trip is over he gets his first ever lm bass! I don't know who was more excited me or him :mrgreen:
