I went to try out the new baits yesterday afternoon. It was a perfect day to fish, overcast skies. During the first few casts with a steady retrive, I have no takers. I'm about ready to leave to my next spot....BAM, so I slam the hook home. Little dink about 12in.
A few more casts later... BLAM, but it turns out to be a tree limb. 
I take this as a sign to move on to my next spot. 
About my 4th cast at my 2nd spot...BLAM BAM, I can tell this is BIG MAMA. My heart is pounding when I first see her. I say to her " Please don't jump, I'll let you go!!! " It's a battle for the first few minutes, but I won the war.
I had 3 bites, but caught 2 fish. 1 Dink and this Lunker. I've used ChatterBait before, but this is the largest one caught. Special thanks to the wife.
She drove from home to take these photos.Thanks, fish1971
I forgot to tell the wife to bring the digital scale with the digital camera. I thought about sending the wife back home, but I did not want to keep her out of the water much longer. I'd hate to see die, so I released her.
