The idea of a 41 pound fish hitting my line amazes me. If I was in the kayak, I'd be in real trouble with a fish that size. ...

I figure bass are like bluegill but bigger and slower and lazier. It seem the bigger fish are the lazier they are. Sometimes I wonder how they even eat. A minnow would have to fall into their mouth before they would eat it. ...
