My Biggest Catch at Lake Sacajawea

My dad and I take a short drive a lot in the summer to Lake Sacajawea to fish. Last summer I wasn't having any luck. I returned from 3 fishing trips empty handed. It was on the fourth trip when I had basically given up hope, that I finally caught my biggest largemouth bass ever. I really was surprised too because I had forgotten my tackle box at home and all my dad had for me to use were plastic worms. I had never had any luck using plastic worms before, but I guess that was my lucky day. I never got to officially weigh it, but I estimate that it was at least 10 lbs, but probably more like 12 lbs. I haven't caught another bass at Lake Sacajawea, but I have sure caught plenty of catfish.
