Thanks! I know its not a record breaker, but pretty big fish for me. Thankfully that circle hook got him good, but always sketchy when a bigger fish is pulling real hard
Nice bass - I've caught a ton of bass over the years, up to 5+ lb but never on a handline. Great job, been trying lately but no luck so far. Guess I need to step up my game.
Im sticking to shade/cover/reeds with worms, also later in the evening has been more active too. It has been tough some days this summer, but you will get em for sure! I know a 2lb bass isn’t “big” by any means, but its big for me, and a good fight on a hand line. Thanks for the good comment!
@@thehobohandliner I'm in Erie, PA - 2 lb is an above average size for most places here. Morning and dusk are definitely the best time for bass here and most everywhere from the shore.
That is an incredible catch! Huge bass on a handline
Almost forgot to say congrats! Thats a great bass especially on the handline, I imagine the hooks don't stay in well on larger thrashing fish.

Great video, congrats on the fish. Going handlineing with the kabar for rainbow trout tomorrow morning.
Thank you and good luck!
@@thehobohandliner caught 8 small ones. Biggest was 13-14 inches
Thats awesome!! Great to hear you had some luck!

@toddshreffler4043 nice! You are about 3 hrs NW of me!
@@thehobohandliner Not sure if you have been here but I regularly fish Presque Isle State Park, about 4 miles from my house.
@toddshreffler4043 been up there 2 times but never fished it!
Have you ever tried carving your own handline?
Not yet, but maybe some day!
