here it goes,
JUNE 13, 2009. Went out early around 8:30 with a buddy of mine, began on a shallow weed bed tossing a favorite spinner of mine its a KVD chartreuse green orange with a small amount of black on the front of the skirt with two gold colorado blades, had two small bass maybe 1lb-1.5lb and my buddy was casting a senko worm black 5" wacky rigged with a blood hook, we ended up being lucky enough to drift over a hole in the center of this bed where a big bluegill bed was and he hit 3 bass as we drifted over so i changed to a senko green 5" with black flake and drove around for another drift and we both caught 2 fish, i kinda got back into real fishing mode (i think senko fishing is way to easy to produce fish haha but i still love it when the bites hard) so i went out to a deeper weed bed that usually produces fish for me. I put the KVD spinner back on and got a great cast right up the edge of the bed right when the lure got within sight range i saw a good sized shadow following the lure and right before i got it to the boat the bass nailed the spinner and took a small run, he didnt get far and i pulled him out, i didnt have a scale but id say around 3lbs ill post the pic later, the bass was one of the longest ive pulled out of the lake i caught more short fat bass this year so im thinking this was a male cause he was long and leaner. It was about 0930 so the skiers started to come out and pester the fishermen so i figured it was time to join them and we ended up pulling our lines and doing some wakeboarding.

Got off shift and had work at 1000 so i figured id kill some time and go fish a little, got out and the lake was glass with great visibility so i hit my shallow weed bed for a few spinner casts with no luck, ended up heading to the deeper bed i fish thinking it was so hot and clear the fish would be looking for cooler water with cover, casted for about a half hour with the kvd spinner and got no hits at all, it was around 0910 and i ended up changing pace to a texas rigged 7" purple ribbed gulp with a twirl tail. i ended up not spotting any bass on the bed edge, the way this bed is set up its about 100 yards offshore in 6-7 feet of water, its basically about a 1/2 mile long rectangle and the north edge starts in a great rock bed that leads all the way to the shore the avarage depth of the rocks is 5" tapering up to the shore, its a great place to jig fish on summer days. so i took my worm and started a slow drift of the rocks, a few casts in i took a big jig and the worm broke the surface and right as it did a bass grabbed it he was small but as i reeled him in i saw a group of bass following him to the boat with 2 big bass in the back of the pack. I got real excited and started pulling in bass every few casts none with any good size again around 1-2lbs, i hadnt checked my phone to see what time it was so while i was putting on a new worm i looked and it was 0935 and i still needed to clean up before work so i tossed out 1 last cast and watched a big bass swim out from under my boat so i reeled in quick and dropped it a few feet in front of him, he swam by and grabbed it but i set the hook too early and pulled it out i let it drop again and another hit and again i missed the hookset, i was mad to see that my worm had bunched up by the barb and didnt think hed hit again but i let it drop and he grabbed it off the bottom and i let him have it for a for a few seconds and bam set the hook got him in the boat and id say he was around 3lbs. It was a great way to start the day before having to go to work again i got a few pics of him and ill post them when i get home
Thanks for reading if these are to long let me know ill shorten my next ones
