I decided to go bass fishing at James A. Reed WMA in Lees Summit, MO.  I had never taken my flod fishing so I thought I'd give it a try.  I walked around Coot Lake casting to what structure I could find.  It was around 60 degrees with a chill in the air and windy as all hell that did not help matters.  As I got 3/4s of the way around the lake I landed a nice Largemouth on a #4 CH Black Strip Leech.  I got a slight snag and as soon as I popped it free he pounced.  It was an awesome fight as he ran several times into a tree that I had pulled him out of.  This bass danced in the air three times before what seemed like an hour long fight came to an end.  I have since put together a bass arsenal and will be back soon to try my luck again!
