A few weeks ago, I ordered my wife a new Wilderness Systems Tarpon 120 from Hook 1. The day it was delivered, I had it set up in the garage when she came home from work and surprised her with it. We had been out once with it, but she didn't catch anything that day. So we headed out again today to a nearby lake and were on the water shortly after the sun came up. A nice fog added to the scenery this morning.
I promptly caught two 12 to 14 inch bass on a white, weightless Super Fluke, but those were the last bass I would catch the rest of the day. Shortly thereafter, my wife finally hooked up with a bass of similar size and it became her first out of her new kayak...
We kept fishing but the bass didn't want to cooperate. I threw all of my favorite lures, but to no avail. This 18" bowfin, however, decided to snarf up the white Super Fluke...
After that, we paddled to the south end of the lake and tried an area where a friend said the bass were hitting pretty good earlier in the week. My lovely bride kept throwing the purple worm that she had caught her first fish on and it worked for her again...
...and again, and again, and again...she just kept catching bass in the 12 to 14 inch range. They loved that purple worm and she ended the morning with 7 bass to my 2. She was really excited to have caught fish and I was super proud of her. I hope she outfishes me every time we go. It was definitely a great day on the water!
