Bass Opener Success

This weekend was opener for Bass. I took my youngest daughter (Mikayla) bluegill fishing. We were using waxworms and caught good numbers. However, while fishing for gills, MJ landed this 16 in largemouth with the ol classic Zebco 33 (I love those rills). In any case the bass hit the waxwarm and started taking drag. He came up head shaking, and mouth wide open, in my head I was like "please dont come off, please dont come off". I landed the fish for her at the boat and I cannot tell you who had the biggest smile, me or her.

1st Gills this year (2011)

When out to Deans Lake tonight bass fishing but saw the Bluegills on their beds. So you know me, I'm a numbers guy, I put down the bass gear and caught some gills. I did not limit out because I ran out of time and bait. I caught lots of small ones but these are the ones that are going in the freezer...
