You Won't Believe This!

Your not going to believe this, but my brother and I caught the same goddamn bass...look at the black blotches in strip along its body. Also look at the black blotch on the gill, the bulge of the belly, and the tail has a darker spot in the middle of the fork. We went fishing today cause my brother wanted to hit the pond I've been doing so weel at and hopefully catch a bass like the one I got the day before. After taking my advice and using my floating frog my brother caught 1 nice keeper and lost one. I caught about 4 on my horny toad until my brother gave my frog to the fishing gods by casting it into a tree...He decided he wanted to wacky rig since he started catching fish with it this summer since I introduced it to him. Because he had foolishly left he senkos at home I gave him my last one, but warned that I hadn't gotten a big fish on senkos at this pond since early april when I got the fish in this picture. He threw the senko anyways and got a big hit immediately after twitching it a bit along the bottom on the 3rd or 4th cast. He set the hook and knew it was big. The fish leaped 2 or so feet out of the water and then dove down into the weeds. I dropped my new scale that he got me that I was trying to open and ran over yelling, "let me grab it for you!" "keep the line tight!". He brought it the shallow water and I quickly lipped the fish. His new pb! I had thought it was slightly smalller than my pb, but I was wrong. We quick snapped some pictures and opted not to finish opening the scale because the fish was already under alot of stress. So we just set it free safe and sound for the second time in the Flint family history. It was great seeing him catch a big bass and even better realizing at him later on that it was the same fish that I caught for my pb. He fishes with me a good amount. As much as he can, but hes been busy at work and getting ready for his wedding this saturday. WHAT AN EXCITING WEEK!!!! Wish we had a weight though. :?

NOTE: I have, however, caught many fish since that bass that may be contenders for a new pb, but I will never know because picture are so deceiving and I didn't have a scale then. I do know that, that fish was about 22 inches and the girth was just shy of 15 inches.

I think the picture of me is a little stretched from right to left if it looks messed up. My bad with the resizing and cropping.
