8/20/06--Real Baby Bass Bass on a Medium Light Helium

[Lightninrod]

Went to the Ocmulgee PFA yesterday and shunked out.

Went to the swamp pond today from 10AM to 1:30 PM. Scattered clouds, hot(mid 90s), low water level with 90 Degree water temp and just a breeze every now and then.

Was there a few minutes and caught a 2 lber on the Zoom Vibra Tail Speed Worm. Then, I threw it next to a stump, felt the tiniest 'tick' and set the hook on a 6 inch baby Bass. It was flopping around on top as I reeled it in when I saw a bigger Bass try and grab the little one. I stopped reeling and the little one was just flailing away, trying to throw the hook(it went all the way way thru its head) and get away from the bigger Bass.

I saw the little one disappear, waited a second or two, and then I set the hook...........on the bigger Bass and landed both. Man, what a 'trip'!

Kept throwing the Speed Worm and caught 5 or 6 dinks and 1-2 lbers. Caught a keeper on a Vertical jig and then a 3 lber snatched my Rapala DT 10.

I was whipped with the unforgiving sun and heat so I called it a day at 1:30.
