It was a normal Friday morning. I was going out on the boat with high hopes to catch at LEAST 2 15in largemouth bass for my FAM Youth Angler Quest. But what happened I never saw coming.
I got on the boat and said c-ya to shore. As we were channel hopping looking for a good spot we caught NOTHING, zippo, did i make that clear! We caught NOTHING! I felt defeated.
We went to this one spot with at least a million lily pads, and casted our line right in the middle. I never even got caught on one… Okay that was a lie but hey in the rules of fishing there isn't anything saying im not allowed to stretch the truth from time to time!
The sun was blazing; it felt like I was in the Sahara desert! I needed to get air conditioning and fast! We casted a couple more times in this channel and we finally caught a 14 ¾ inch bass! So close to being big enough to register for my fam quest! But I accepted my fate and went to ONE more channel. May not have got my 15 incher, but at least we didn't get SKUNKED!
