Nice. Good pics and fish. Would have been awesome if you’d landed the bass. I’m sure that was fun.
I took off this morning to check out the old mill creek I sometimes fish .
My suspicions were confirmed, with all of the rain lately the creek was up and running fast .
Since I was there , and had a new rod that I was anxious to try out,I decided to throw the micro spinner a few casts .
I caught a couple of small redbreasts , one tiny , and then bubba shows up with his one ounce spinnerbait and baitcaster.
He gets out of his Jeep walks downstream of me about 20-25 feet and flings a cast almost directly in front of me . A couple of choice words about etiquette and I packed up and headed to lake McIntosh . The fishing wasn’t worth getting into an argument over .
Todays weather was sunny and getting warm .
I spent a little over an hour fishing McIntosh and caught twenty eight fish . Some little ones , some were fun on the new St Croix 5’6” Avid paired up with a Daiwa Fuego LT 1000 .
The new rod did not disappoint. It allowed me to make casts up to fifty feet if I timed the wind right . And had a nice bend even with the potato chip gills . Most were bluegills , but I also caught three small crappie .
I had another nice bass grab one of my gills and gave me a couple minutes of long runs and a jump , before throwing up the gill . The poor gill was almost scaled but swam off .
I also caught a few of the fish on my SC 5’6” Premier ULF paired with a Shimano Soare BB c2000spg , which was also on its first fishing trip . The combo worked great . The reel is butter smooth and has a great drag . This is what I had the bass on , the rod and reel protected the 2# line . At one time I was afraid I might get spooled with the shallow spool capacity, but had plenty.
I think the sunny day made the difference today , they do call them sunfish for a reason .
The biggest bluegill had a nice helmet head going on .

That’s awesome. I haven’t been fortunate to have it happen to me yet.
Mighty fine catches. No need in arguing. He would have gotten tired on being tangled and having to re tie eventually
The love for fishing is one of the best gifts you can pass alonggillchaser999 LIKED above post
Great report and pics. Your combo sure got a workout. Thanks for sharing

sounds like another outstanding outing
I also like the looks of both outfits. I’d need to handle the Soare outfit. I know it’s not giant but I’m stuck on the 500 size stuff. I’d like to have watched the show with the bass, I bet it was fun.
