First Fish of the Year

After working constantly over the last three months, I found a couple minutes to fish yesterday.  I went over to the subdivision pond with one of John Graham's swim jigs and a 4"inch bass pro shop grub.  I bought the swim jigs at the end of 2009 and never gave them a fair chance during all of 2010.  I decided to make it a point of catching a fish on one this year.  I did not have to wait long.  I managed to catch about a 14" bass and missed another one approximately the same size in about 20 minutes of fishing.  It was a nice start to the year.  Hopefully I will get the boat out sometime next week and start the fishing season for real. Also I need to make a point of always having the camera with me.
