Bass Fishing in Indiana

I did not really like to go fishing when I was in Taiwan. But in Indiana, I start to enjoy going bass fishing.

This was my fourth time going fishing in Hawthorn park near Terre Haute, but this was the first time for me to catch a REAL fish. I would never forget the moment: feeling the lure attacked by the fish…I pulled the fishing rod…reeled back the line…..and then I saw the fish ripping the surface of the lake. Catching the fishing, I felt a sense of achievement and happiness…Well, can I say: I just conquered the nature. Hahahahahaha…
See the sharp teeth of the fish. They hurt my thumb when I held the fish's mouth.

On that day, I actually caught two fishes in Hawthorn park. For the first one, I used down/drop shot and soft worm bait as the lure. But for the second one, I used jighead and still soft worm bait. The worm with a curly tail really worked.

Well, I really wanted to keep them if I had a big fish tank at home! But they were not big enough. I could not help but let them go. Actually, people said that bass of this kind did not taste good!

This was my third fish caught in Chinook Fish and Wildlife Area. I wasn't expect to catch one cause it was getting dark, and Yoshiki and I were preparing to go back. It was just a moment of pulling and I immediately saw the fish flipping over the water. WowwwwwHahahahaha…another cute little sucker coming to my hook!
