I arrived at the lagoon at 6:15. We started fishing the drop shot and we weren't catching any fish. The first fish was finally caught by my brother at 8:00. After another couple hours, I still hadn't caught a fish so we moved to a new spot. At this spot I caught a fish on my second cast! It was a nice fish and was my personal best, until later! After catching this fish there was no action, so we moved again. At the new spot, my brother caught another bass within 5 minutes. It was smaller than his last fish, but still not bad. We spent a good amount of time at this spot, but didn't catch anything besides my brother's fish, so we moved again. We went back to our second spot, but didn't get anything there, so I moved once again. At this spot, my rig got stuck in the weeds, so I had to break my line. After breaking the line, I switched to a Texas rigged sweet beaver. After a while of trying this new soft plastic, I decided to switch back to the drop shot after tangling my line up. I only had a few more minutes before I was going to leave and I really wanted to get another fish! I cast the drop shot rig a couple more times and then felt a very light strike. I set the hook and reeled the fish in. It fought a lot, even though the strike was very light! I wouldn't have been able to feel the strike with my old rod, so I am glad my new rod is working so well! This fish was even bigger than my first fish and my first fish was my previous personal best!

My first bass of the day.


Say hello to my new personal best LMB!


I also fish with swimbait101 for a while. He wanted me to take this picture of him leaving, lol.

Thanks! I did set and break my personal best in the same day. It was pretty awesome. I can't wait to break it again this weekend!


Lol, I like catching fish when you leave! I didn't post my brother's picture because he wasn't in them, since he didn't want to hold his fish, even though he held his first bass on Sunday! I don't know why he didn't want to hold them.

Hey Fireball good Job! I was catching fish at the same time you were.. just over on the west side of the lake. Hey SWIMBAIT! Last Sunday my Buddy was fishing with me and we pulled a smallmouth out of the lake! wild huh?

Nice. I might take my float tube out this weekend and fish the West side. Is it good over there? A smallmouth in the Lagoon? Nice!

on your boat right??
post a pic of your boat and smallmouth

nice fireball, i went to the upper lake that day and got skunked.. not even one bite, so sad, i think the fish took veterans day off as well...

Good job on the PB Fire Ball. Congrats on that nice bass!! Thanks for the report.

My ankle is healed and soon I intend to get back into action at the Lagoon.

Thanks! I hope to see you at the Lagoon. I went today, but it was really windy. I didn't catch anything, but my friend managed to catch the only bass of the day.
I will probably take my float tube out next week since I finally bought some fins!
