Started off the session wading out waist deep and casting away with the lure in all directions when I get a take from a small bass, I got it in quick and didn't really play the fish so it was full of energy and going nuts while I tried walking it back to shore to unhook and release as I knew it was undersize but it manage to shake the hook as I was walking back with it.. so went right back to it and a few more casts later I was into a better fish, this time I loosened the drag and played the fish letting it tire itself out, eventually walking it back to the shore I ended up with a 48cm bass for the table and finished up the session after dispatching! I'd say I could have caught more if I had kept going but one fish is enough for me!

First bass landed this year and happy out 😁

Tight lines folks
