I've become obsessed
Message:
All I think about is fishing! While I love to fish, 2 to 3 times a week is more than enough for me, but the recent pursuit of a legit 6+ lb bass on my scale has created an almost unhealthy obsession. I never work out anymore...but that's ok I got all winter, and I fish for hours a day. I just want to have that legit lunker. I catch plenty of bass, but none recently since the scale to my standards. 4 pounds is my max since and it was a smally...fun, but not what I want. I got a 3 pounder and 2 and a quarter today along with some dinks. That's a good day normally but nowadays I leave a trip like that very upset. Today was extra bad though cause I lost s total of 5 monsters. 1 was right on the shore and just got off in about 2 inches of water with mud under. It was a least 4 pounds and succeeded in getting me soaked...two others were just large blurs in the water I saw as they ripped line off my drag because I foolishly forgot to tighten it up twice! The others just seemed to spit the hook as if to toy with me. I just think that these buzzbaits don't always get the best hooksets since most of the lost fish were on that. I've never had this trouble on the past with buzzbaits, but I guess I'm cursed or something. Perhaps the worst party about all this is that nobody I know understands my need to get this fish...to them fishing is a joke. Anyways I just needed to tell my story cause fishing is getting less and less about relaxing and hopefully this will calm my nerves.
