thorn168 I caught this fish on a #3 Mepps black fury with a white color pattern. The water was clear enough for me to see this bass come off the bottom to attack the lure. When I set the hook I it felt like I had hooked a snag on the bottom but I knew I had a fish on the line. This fish dove to the bottom but I put a steady pressure on the rod to bring it to the surface where it gave at least three spectacular jumps from the water trying to throw the hook. I finally landed it using my brand new catch and release net. After a couple of quick pictures I returned it to water so that it could live on to fight another day.
