This is just not possible. The picture is obviously photoshopped.
Everybody knows you need a pool cue rod and 50# braid for bass.
Just kidding. Congrats on a nice bass.
Was fishing a small creek with a 1/8 oz jig, with my Clarus 5.0 UL with Pflueger 25 sized President Limited = she weighed 5 1/2 lbs, caught off the bank. A lot of fun and unexpected to hook, and land this girl. Often run 6lb test P-Line CX but believe I had 8lb on this reel. Really gave me confidence on what can be done on light tackle. Chose this rod in the past as it had more backbone than other UL rods. I was targeting White bass, Crappie, and bass 2-3 lb that I have normally caught in the past.
I did not try powering the fish, just let it play itself out, had my drag set where she pulled a bit of line here and there when she made a few runs, but she did not take out much and it may have kept my line from breaking along with a limber rod. Just wanted to pass it on. Hope all are off to a Great 2017.

Nice Job...
Congrats , ain't nothing like playing a nice one on UL tackle . Gillchaser

Nice bass on ul!!!
That's a good one.
Good fish. I used 6lb line and a 5 1/2' spinner and a 2000 series reel when I quit chasing green fish full time. I caught a lot of small to average fish, but a good one would sneak in now and then. That's a ton of fun there, and a real good catch from the bank.
Creativity is just intelligence fooling around
High adventure! Congrats and thanks for sharing.
