My caught a 7.41lb bass I've never been so proud

Shed never been bass fishing with me. So we get out there and she says she wants to really fish. So I give her a crash course on using an open face reel and about her 5th cast she hooks up. I don't know who was freaking out more me or her. I have never been so proud.

My wife caught a 7.41lb bass... Sorry

That's awesome man, congrats

Nice .. I love bass fishing .. If you can toss a levelwind reel that's a good skill in itself without gettin a rats nest full a line.. Get her on a fly rod for some Florida tarpon next..

congrats, now the two of you can enjoy the activity together.

i wish my other half would try it, i go fishing about every weekend for redfish, trout, etc.. and she never ever wants to go. might be the fact that i get up at 4:50 in the morning but it gets hot fast now.

You must be on the gulf coast too? I'm in southeast Texas

If she enjoys fishing, take her deep sea fishing once, I've done that a few times and I've been dying to go do it again, just haven't made it back to Florida since

I go offshore fishing from time to time. She's never been but she had a blast Wade fishing in matagorda bay. We go to the lake alot. We have a place on Sam Rayburn. So that's our weekend get away spot. I usually bass fish in the mornings and evenings we will bait up a catfish hole and bust out the pontoon boat. She likes that but it's boring as shit to me. Really it's a way to get meat lol. Saturday she nutted up got in the bass boat and off we went. 5 cast later she had the fish of a lifetime for some people. I prolly catch 3 fish a year that size. I hope she doesn't expect that everytime lol.

Beginner's luck is great. I remember me and my dad fishing from a pier in Florida for a week and not catching shit and my older sister decided to come one day towards the end of the week and she reeled in a 6 lb bass. I was so pissed I just sat on the pier and watched other people fish the rest of the day
