Double Figure Lure Caught bass
Jamie Steward decided to take up lure angling this year and got off to fine start… 5th trip out and he hooked in to something special.. “bounced a soft plastic down the crease in to a slack bit of water and 
seen my line pick up out the water and start running up river against the tide, reel was screaming 
few big ol head shakes and darting runs and i managed to tire out and guide through the bladder wrack this fine old warrior of a bass! Forgot to measure it as im new to the game but I did weigh it and she pulled the scales to 10lb on the dot! Was relieved to see it hit the magic double figure mark and set me a new PB. Probably the best scrap I’ve had on a rod and reel and its fair to say i quite like this luring malarkey was a pleasure meeting this Bass! 
cheers Danny Watson of high street tackle for the guidance on rod choice and quality lures
