That was a very windy day in the afternoon. Anchang and I went to that unknown lake for testing his new bait-casting reel: Abu Garcia Revo Premier. It is a very nice reel actually. Hearing the sound while Anchang cast his lure out, I know it’s very smooth and quiet.
Well, I tried my bait-casting reel several times with 3-joint swim-bait and 6-inch senko, but I could not get many bites. So I just changed my strategy to spinning rod and drop-shot (with 4 inch curly-tail worm: motor oil with red flakes). Soon I got one small bass about 20 centimeters. I thought bass might still wander around but tend to stay in deeper areas because of the strong wind. Therefore, I cast a little farther, let the bait sink there, and I started to twitch it slightly. Just after about 10-second twitching, I sensed a subtle bite so that I raised the rod tip. Wow…Wow…Wow…immediately, my rod bended down almost 90 degrees and I felt there must be something out there. Seeing the splash of water, Anchang and I both screamed out: oh, this must be a huge baby!!!
See…..How big her mouth is!!!!!!!!!
Yes…Yes…Yes….it’s a 59-centimeter bass.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh……….
It’s a dog…..hahahhahahaha!!!!!

Very nice catch. After reading your blog, I also decided to use drop shot for bass fishing. But I failed.:( Just wonder what size drop shot sinker you used when you caught the monster bass and Did u use palormar knot to tie your hook to the line?
I used 1/16 oz sinker since the lure was small. And the hook as #1 gamakatsu drop/split shot hook.
And yes, I used palormar knot to tie the hook. If I remember correctly, I rigged the lure in the middle that day (a little like wacky style).
