Ted's Epic Bass- Battle At Boone

My Dad and I made our first open water trip on Boone together around 5:30pm tonight. He came up earlier in the morning to help me with a variety of projects around the house...including setting up an area in the garage as a tackle shop/ work bench. We got out on the water and it was glass, what a day to tour the lake. I took us to the third basin which turns into a section of coves. After about 20 minutes I landed the first fish of the trip, nothing to write home about but nice to break the ice. We cruised around a couple different coves and threw some casts, each landed a pickerel. We only had until around 7:00 to be on the water so around 6:45 we went back into the original cove we started at and fished the shoreline. Not long after my Dad locked on to a special fish. I saw his rod drastically bent and line moving to the right- I knew after only a few seconds it was a big fish. I grabbed the net and he let's out a modest "it's not that big" comment. His rod is only a 6ft medium/light set-up so the battle was great to witness. The lunker was at the bottom in the weeds for a while and we weren't sure if she got off until we saw the line and weeds move towards the boat. When it approached the fish went under the boat and I look up and my Dad calmly works the Pig to the edge of the boat. About 10 seconds later we had it in the canoe- we both had sh*t eating grins on our faces as he took it out of the net. The bass weighed 5lbs 11 oz's and is the biggest bass he's ever caught- what a way to end the day! We took some photo's and sent Larry back in the water. Thanks for a great day Dad and way to make your debut on the Wall!
