I had originally gone out by myself and trolled the Beetlespin along the shoreline. I hooked the massive fish breifly and it threw the hook as it jumped. I went to the house and talked my wife into operating the trolling motor while I fished. I asked her to go over the same spot where I had hooked the Bass and sure enough, there she was. At first, I thought I hooked a stump then she started tearing off line. I had to get my wife to turn the boat around so we could chase the fish down. It made a few attempts to jump but only came half way out. The fight lasted about 10 minutes. my knees were shaking as my wife netted the fish. I couldn't beleive what I was seeing. A 9 pound Bass on an 1/8 oz Beetlespin. The Bass was released to have babies and fight another day. I'll never forget it.
