Hey I got that same crank bait hahaha i got burnt up today too man it was brutal as hell - I woke up really early and decided to try and find some new spots, so I started up at the shores along callville and got stuck in this one spot where I was getting played by this really good size bass i kept seeing. For the first time in a while I actually got pissed while fishing! It all started with a new rattletrap I bough, he hit it and I I set the hook too fast and yanked it away. So I threw on a chartreuse spinner bait, after about 15 casts he hit HARD! He took off, peeling line off - But shook it off!!! What the hell!! So after trying some soft plastics and crank baits that he didn't care for, I started some finesse. I threw out a 4 inch hand poured with a nail wait in the head and to my surprise he sucked it up on the first cast before it hit the bottom, I waited this time to set the hook, and got him! BUT HE SHOOK IT OFF!! I was seriously kicking the dirt lol I couldn't believe it! So I switched up the soft plastic to a 6 inch wacky rigged purple worm w/ a nail weight in the head, but I couldn't see him anymore. I started walking the cove pitching around trying to bring him back around and found him again holding near a big boulder, so I really buckled down and realized this was prob my last chance. i dropped it down next to the rock and just let it sit, making it barely shake and dragging it now and then. After a few casts and 20 minutes, he sucked it up and started running, I was so damn relieved!!! He was peeling my line off of a tight drag, line singing and everything! I was sure I had him, BUT HE GOT AWAY!!!! HOW?!? And he took my worm!!!!! What the hell man?! I haven't been so frustrated fishing in a long time! I felt like a total failure lol anyways, now I'm at work - I just had to get that off my chest
