Flushed the Toilet (Well) Again today.
Message:
I never really could understand why the "Well" is always referred to as the Toilet of the Housatonic River System. Considering large Bass, Pike and Trout are consistently caught there. Granted it's not Candlewood Lake but there is some really challenging fishing there.
Only had about four hours to fish so I stayed close to home. Brought my neighbor, who has only fished once before, with me. I had one goal in mind. "Catch A Fish On A Jig." I tied on a Blue/Black/Red Bitsy Bug with a Blue baby Paca Craw.
We were on the water at 8am and proceeded north. Fished the east shore and banged a couple of 14" Smallies. Picked up a couple LM's at about 2 Lbs. Then headed to Pink House. Punched through the weeds with little success. Kept drifting and pitching south when all of a sudden my rod tip bends to the water. The wind was pushing us pretty good and at first, thought I snagged a log. A quick tug produced a bigger one back. I knew it was gonna be my PB. After a awesome fight, two big jumps and dives with a long drag screeching run, yelling "Get the net. Get the net." I boated this beauty. Weighing in at 5lb 6 oz's. It was "FAT" The gullet was big enough to swallow my fist. Absolutely fascinated me as to the size of the mouth. Thus the reason they're called Large Mouth Bass.

A while later my neighbor catches his first and only fish.

Caught a total of 8 Bass in four hours and ended the day with this keeper.

Congratulations on catching your new Personal Best largemouth bass, Carl.
If there are weeds in eight to 10 feet of water, try dragging a Texas rigged creature bait through them. It's a lot easier than pitching a jig and works even better, sometimes.
