Caught this 7.25lb bass from shore this morning on a trout swimbait.
McFish says to never tell where..... but he already guessed where. Smart guy!

I almost always tend to work baits pretty darn
fast year-round, but was working the bait with
a fairly slow retrieve.

I keep saying it, you’re amazingly lucky.
I know it takes talent, just joking.

Mcfish promised to teach me some skills but he wanted $75 an hour to do it and I just think that’s a little high…. Especially when he says I have to pay for lunch also. For now, I’ll just stick with Lucky.

$75...no way you're getting a discount....you'll have to rely on your good luck, or did you tell me it was good looks???????

As a short person myself, let’s not forget,
Best things come in small packages
Diamonds, micro fishing lures come to mind etc, etc
