Last week got on the water early well before dawn there was a south wind about 15mph so i figured that the major lock at J &S fish camp just might have a good topwater bite. WE started fishing about 10 till 7 and they were tearing the spook up! I was gettin the short strikers with a shad colored bleeding tube from strike king, even got one on a keith trap! After the bitedied moved down to the beds i found before the last tourney only a couple of small ones were on beds, so tried the ledge adjacent to the beds that are around 3-6 ft and drop off to 18 feet thats when something sickning happened, throw to a hump in 6 feet of water and this monster hits the Keith trap so i think this is a biggun! she starts peeling line like its cool when i realize oh crap i gotta loosin the drag or its gonna break off i drop the rod tip to disengage the reel to buy me a couple of seconds to loosen my drag she hits the ledge and broke off. Made me sick to my stomach ended up with three nice ones 3-5 and some dinks wasnt bad for 4 hours of fishin, sorry it took so long to post but i was busy licking my wounds, i think she weighed in the teens 13 possibly 14 see why it made me sick? Then i started feeling bad cause a bass that size know had two treble hooks in her but im hoping i didnt hook her good. Dave
