After my Dad passed in 2001 I kept his rod and reel for safekeeping and never used it. It’s an Abu Ambassadeur 5000 A,6 foot Lews Speed Stick. Decided to resurrect it. First fish ever on it with me. I have to admit I got teary eyed. This big lady was for you Dad. I love and miss you.5yr ⋅ Trog1222 ⋅ r/bassfishing

After my spinner bait was fouled up with moss, there was nothing I could do but mimic a frog on top of the moss. Awesome topwater strike from this one. Didn’t get a weight. Put her back where I got her.5yr ⋅ Trog1222 ⋅ r/bassfishing
