First swimbait bass!

[turn_in_poachers]

Was out on Crooked lake today around noon before goin to work and caught my first swimbait bass today! The only time I dont bring my digi camera, I catch one! It was a blast. Was right off the dock with about 7 kids running around. First cast, just pitched it out, and I was watching these kids with their sunnie when she hit like a ton of bricks. Set my hook and hauled it in. Guesstimated it to be around 4.5 lbs. with a big gut. Had the whole lure in her mouth, couldnt see any of it. I was pretty excited. Gave it to a kid and he let it go. couldnt believe that she just engulfed the whole thing. Awesome. The swimbait measures about 7 inches and weighs in at about 1 1/2 oz. The bigger the lure, the bigger the fish right!!

Yeah, I really dont bring a camera with me anymore. Everytime I do, I catch nothing, so maybe its a bad luck charm. Here's a picture of the swimbait.
