Productive bank fishing outing!!

[Capt. BassinLou]

We had a cold front move through couple of days ago, and it was blowing pretty hard yesterday as well as today. 15+ mph from the North. The cloud cover intrigued me, so I stepped out for a couple of hours and walked the banks of my neighborhood canal, or "ditch" as my Northern brethren call them. 
Well, my "ditch" was pretty damn productive today. Ended up catching 8 bass, fishing a stick worm slowly along the bottom. Once I identified the zone the bass were holding, it was just a matter of patience and covering water. Towards the end of my outing, I was on a high bank, cars were lined up across the canal, watching me as they waited for their light. Working the worm ever so slowly, I felt the tell tale tick... I reared back and laid into a beauty!! After figuring out how I was going to land her, I successfully brought her up to standing ovation of cars honking.  That was pretty cool!! 

She measured 22" and weighed in at 5.5lbs
