This might be kind of dumb for most anglers so I feel I should justify my quest for 50 in one year. I am new to fishing, just fished last season and this one, never before. I wasn't raised fishing, had no ideas on how to, had no friends or family to glean advice from, nothing. Just decided to start fishing. I have been looking at my lack of knowledge as a positive thing because I really have no preconceived notions about the right or wrong way to do anything. It has been fun looking around for advice, talking to other fisherman and basically trying every method I could think of in an attempt to develop some sort of instinctual ability to fish. I have by no means arrived at any conclusions, but I'm digging the process, and today was the day I hit the goal I had set last December for this season. 50 largemouth in a year. Last year I only began catching bass in the fall when they started coming shallow and fattening up, but I got a nice groove going with a texas rigged worm. Winter came and I only had 15 total bass out of the 107 fish I caught the whole year. (I have taken pictures of every fish I caught so far and saved them on my computer, I'm not rainman.) I kind of fell in love with chasing bass so I figured that in the coming season I would make a point to focus specifically on them and catch as many as I could before the season ended. 50 was my goal number. I wanted to have a Maurice Richard fishing season. So today it happened and i'm thrilled. I still get skunked some days but i'm getting better at adapting and coming up with a strike. I'm looking forward to learning more and getting better but as for now I'm at 59 total bass for this year (counting smallmouths and rock bass) and now i'm just going to press for quality until the winter comes. Here's the shots in no specific order do to random uploading.
