It is December, right in the middle of winter of the Christmas season. Even in this very cold weather, we had gone to a fun Bass fishing trip. It is cold, but if we catch any our mind and body will get hot!!! I mean HOT!! Today I used Skeet Reese’s new design lure, the “Smasher”. I caught a huge 7lb Striper, but due to my large body you can’t really tell how big it really is… This fish fought very strongly, and as shown in my right hand is my 3 piece rod which was designed specifically for traveling, but it got broken into even smaller pieces… And not only that, as shown in the picture, the hook on the “Smasher” had gotten stretched out a lot. From my explanation I hope it is easier to understand how big the fish really was. As usual, Brent was doing very well and kept fishing Bass in good condition. Next week I am going to Sand Diego to do some Salt water fishing!!
