Hard to believe what one cast can do to change your life and the people around you....

My moment came up north on a double bladed buzzbait of all the things.  I was fishing with a freind in his boat, and tied it on becasue it looked cool.  I had never caught a legal sized bass before in my life.  I actually had quit reeling and let it fall to bottom because I was getting a drink when the fish hit!  After a tense struggle, I was holding a 19" smallie in my shaking hands.  I got him mounted (sorry!) and have been "hooked" ever since.

I went on to get Blakstr hooked, so you can see how that one cast changed both our lives forever!  WOW!

I received an email a while back during the spring from a recent immigrant to the US who was frustrated at not being able to catch bass out of Lake Ovid. He's heard there were plenty of bass in the lake and had even seen some attacking bait from what he could tell.

We was shorebound and fishing the shallow 'canal' behind the big island - not the best place later in the year. I explained a buzzbait and how to fish it to him. This was in April. I thought we were talking about when the season opens.

Being a recent immigrant, he hadn't grasped all the rules and regs yet. I got an email from him - he was all excited having caught his first bass out of the 'canal' right after starting to use the buzzbait. He said the explosion was the most excitement he'd ever known... but, the Conservation Officer who came up to him immediately afterwards wasn't quite as excited.

After some discussions about seasons and creel/size regs, the CO let him go with just a warning, but he admitted it barely dulled the excitement of a new technique that actually worked.

::) Guess I should have explained a few more things to him... still, he was excited.

Help stop invasive spcies. Don't move fish between unconnected bodies of water. Clean, drain and dry your boat before launching on another water body.
