Caught this nice bass during a 20 minute break I took while "working". I quickly caught 2 8-9" bluegills and then this bass. The weeds aren't up yet so just open water. I did have to persuade him over to the dock to hand land him as the area I hooked him in was not accessible from shore. and of course I had not brought a net. To be honest I was a little surprised I was able to land him with the 1.5# ester, he had jumped a few times and had a couple of short runs. I prefer the Major Craft Light Game ester in 2lb test but was out and spooled up with 1.5lb until I get more 2lb. Major Craft is my preferred ester fishing line, supple, easy to handle, super sensitive and easy to see because of it's yellow color, there is also more than 100m on a filler spool.
