Washington Fishing

The Online Source for Washington Fishing Information

It's still stuck in my head like it happened yesterday , I was 16 years old at the time living in Michigan . A good friend of mind (Andy) Came over my house after school with his dads tackle box in hand. We made a trip to a small lake not far from us and decide to cast for bass. I decided to go with the Original Rapala broke floating back minnow , Andys advise to me was to cast it out as far as possible reel it and stop it all the way back to shore . It was about my third or forth cast with the bait when i noticed something "different" had occured ! The bait hasn't floated back up to the surface , i stood there for about 15 seconds thinking to myself whats going on . Shortly afterwards my line started running across the lake and thats when i went to battle on my first LMB taken by way of an artificial bait . 3lb LMB , as Andy and i giving eachother high fives , i proberly held that fish out water for about 5 minutes admiring the fact that i fool him ! lol Needless to say , the very next day Andy and i went to a local tackle store to purchase our first bass baits , And also sent in our membership dues to B.A.S.S. Mag ...lol To this day i still keep one of those Rapalas in my tackle to remind me of why i love this sport so much !! So whats your story ?????

It was last June (09) at Lake Sixteen in Skagit County. It was not big but it was the first. Caught it on a small rapala jerk in rainbow trout.

My first bass was caught in a tourny on Lake Pleasant in Arizona, Fishing a popper about 10 min, before dark. My friends dad invited me to go with them to the tourny, my first time bass fishing. We fished waterdogs the whole time and only got one fish. We decided to start fishing up a very long cove. I tied on I believe cabelas shad popper. Second cast boom, A little 12 inch bass. I was hooked. My first real bass while bass fishing. It was great. In the first and only tourny I have fished.
