On this day I had Clients from my home town in New Jersey, Will Anthony his girlfriend Kristen and friend XXX Scott.
They wanted to catch some Big Bass, so I took my chances on a Cold windy day and went North to Lake Okeechobee.
When we got there it was 45 Degrees and windier then expected, which may finding a spot to fish difficult .
After several misses with the hook set , and both Kristen & Scott complaining about how cold it was Will called it a day at 9:30.
With not wanting to leave without a fish, I convinced Will to try one more spot. This decision change the whole day around. We anchored up in a cove off the rim ditch and with the first shiner Will caught about a 2.5 lb. largemouth.
Then the moment came, 5 mins later as this “HAWG” just exploded on his shiner, and the fight was on.
Will got his birthday present a nice Bass around 9LB. , well no one was cold anymore. as the sun came up and being protected by the trees it made for a nice day.
9 lb . Bass
