I've never been a part of any kind of bass club but when my friend told me about PWF, i was very interested to say the least. I joined at the first of the year and yesterday (2/15/18) was my first outing. I fished Weston last year with another club member. He caught one fish that went about 5. That was it. We threw everything at them, but it just wasn't our day.

I got on the water about noon. It was in the upper 70's and very windy. Water temps still in the upper 40's. Again, the water was murky. It was a tough start to my day, fighting the wind was tough, so i decided to bank fish the rest of the day. On my way back, i hit all the marked brush piles. The last one i threw into, it happened! I was fishing a jig with a blue and black trailer. I let it sink, while fighting the wind still, and just concentrating on getting to shore, and so i started to reel it in. I guess she already had it and by the time i tightened my line, she rolled on the surface. Monster! She darted under the boat, so i let her run, but that's all the fight she had in her. Reeled her in and easily lipped her. Got the weight and a few pictures and quickly released her. She weighed in a 8lbs 11oz. My personal best! First fish on my first outing. I'll take it.
