31694, My First Fish of 06'

IFISH say's,

CZ and I went our yesterday via Bass Boat for a Jan excursion to the good ol' Delta. It was cooooold, but bearable. CZ had to show me how it's done right quick by putting 2 fish in the boat. He had a 3 and 2lber. Then it was my turn. I still owe it all to CZ cause he gave me the jig I didn't have, and he figured out the pattern. I pitched it to a weed edge, drug it maybe 2 feet, and then there was weight. I set the hook, but my drag was too loose ( new reel x( ) and when I set, and extra 2 feet of line gave cause of it. OH NO ! I reel down fast as I can, put pressure on the spool with my thumb and felt if she was stil there. Tug, tug......yup, she's there. I tighten up my drag real quick and begin the truck pull. She dug down into the DEEPEST weeds she could find. I thought I lost her some points in the fight. When we finally netted her, there was about 10 lbs of delta skank weeds coming with it. She weighted a nice 6 lbs even on the digi. My first 5lb + Delta fish too.
