I don't fish for bass, but today I caught my PB by a long shot.

In my exploration of the NYC water reservoirs, I found a new spot loaded with medium size gills. After catching about 20, I moved to another spot, surprisingly shallow, so I didn't have much hope. After a couple casts, a fish started pulling line. Thankfully I moved to 8lb braid, since the 4lb I was using before would never have held.

After a good fight, I netted a massive bass.
