Know that moss I've been complaining about. Well, it might not be so bad. While I would prefer that it was gone, it was a BIG help tonight. I actually saw one of the pinheads I know. He showed me a polaroid of a nice bass (he was calling it 12#, and probably was). Said he got dragging a worm across the top of the moss. So after trying my bag of tricks for zip, I tried a zipper on top of the moss. Got me my personal best because of it. Now I wish I had a scale and camera. It was probably the same one the pinhead caught. Blew away the 8 I had a few weeks back. It was a fun fight too, can't say that too often w/ these LM.. It took drag a few times (granted I was fishing 6#), jumped and tried a few runs into the denser moss. When I got it to shore I still had no idea, I thought it was the 7 again. I actually gave it slack so that I could hop the rail and get down to water level. Pulled it's head out to lip it, and was shocked at the size. I even held it sideways and supported it's stomach so I could get a better look. Now if I could only get a Calico in the double digits, what a fight that would be.

Also had 2# right after the big one. Dumped a couple more, then it went dead. Tried for another hour for nada. Guess I have a new option, good timing too, things have been dead lately.
