Great Bass Fishing!!!!!!

Rawhide says:
Hello the world,
I went fishing again Thursday 5/10/18  the fish times said Good Day. I guess it was right , in 5 hrs. I caught 40 Bass,  4 pounds to 8 inches. So far this season I have only caught 110 Bass. It has been a cold Spring in  the Columbus, Ohio area. These bass were caught in private ponds fishing only from the bank. Lures used were Senko - green pumpkin with blue , green ,and purple
glitter with a yellow tip cut to 4''. Mega Bass Griffin - army green back and yellow belly with tiger strips in yellow on the sides.
Bagley Crank bait - small fry bream yellow belly. Rod is 6'6"  medium by a company , that is out of business .Line is Nanofil
12, 14, 17 pound test with a 15 pound Berkley clear leader about 5 feet. I tie all of my baits on.

In the last 8 months, I have had to have 5 heart stents and doing well. Doc says I can't use my boat or mow the yard any more. I can fish with others in a boat, but they don't want me doing anything that could put stress on my heart. If and when I die, I hope I am fishing. I am 69 years old and started fishing at age 4, this is my passion.

I was 5 when I caught my first fish...I am now coming up to 55...So I am just a youngster :)

5 stents !! Last time you mentioned it I am sure it was just 1...Take it easy....You don't have time to be mowing lawns when there is fishing to be done !! :)

110 is not as good as last year but still quite good. I would be happy with it.

You should do as the doctors say...Get someone else to mow the lawn...Maybe a young lady as long as she has all the proper clothing, steel toe capped boots, DZ Dukes and a knotted flannelet shirt...actually it might be better to just get Jim's Mowing...gotta keep that ticker tocking.

Take care of yourself, mate.
