First bass of 2012

I know it's a little late but I finally caught my first bass of 2012. A couple weeks ago my buddy Adam and I scoped out Lake Collins by Marysville, where we blanked on the big baits. We were about to leave when we saw the stocker truck drive by, so we followed it to the launch ramp hoping to see some of the 8-12"protein bars get crushed by some of the lake's giant spotties. That didn't happen either so we broke in Adam's new spinning rod on a few trout with a ghetto rig consisting of a treble hook and Roboworm tail off a rat. Fast forward to Friday February 3rd, I needed to clear my head so I decided to go hit a lake that hasn't let me down. I was punching with a 5.20 Sweat Beaver in sprayed grass, a money maker colored Paycheck punch skirt, 1oz tungsten weight and 65# braid. Fish ate it deep in the tulles. No monster, but definitely a good fish.
