My First Freshwater Fish

About 8 years ago I was invited to Bjelke-Petersen Dam with some mates, I had always lived on the coast therefore had never freshwater fished. We were on the water at 5.00am and trolled every square inch of that bloody dam, nothing. About 10.00am we were trolling past the sticks when my rod almost jumped out of my hands (had nothing to do with me nodding off) So i yelled to Alex to stop the boat, I'm snagged. When the boat stopped I realised I was on and it wasn't small. Shortly after I pulled up my first ever fresh water fish to find a 51cm, 4 1/2lb Bass. The guys on the boat ramp later that day told me that it's all down hill from here, you peaked to soon.

brents first bass

Just backing up Robo's story, it was caught on a green wild willy (cant remember the number), the day b4 i caught a 50 cm bass 4lb on a gold wild willy no.9, and i have gone downhill since then

Hi Uggy & Robo

I'm new to fishing but those bass you both caught must of put up a good fight, their both damn big fish

Hey Smithy

It was a pretty good feeling bringing in a fish of that size, knowing it was my first fresh water fish. Have you fished fresh water ?

hello robo

no mate i haven't fished fresh yet. i going to try Lake monduran soon though, not sure what i'm doin with fresh water but i'll give it a go. i'll let you know how it turns out.
