First cast of the day yesterday. Then nothing after that, but it started with a bang. I think it's the biggest bass I've caught at 3.92 and around 21"

One and only one. I've been on the struggle bus 2nd half of the summer and into the fall. But yesterday, for one and only one cast, everything lined up exactly as it should, exactly as I've seen on the videos and put into practice. 1) Using the FFS video, helped me realize when and where was the right place to cast. 2) The Albright Knot video, this allowed me to switch to lighter line and leader without losing my tackle. 3) How to Fight Fish video, I used my drag like a champ and fought a nice 3+ lb fish on light line, staying in control the entire way. In fact, to B-Lat's point in the video, once I got the fish in the net the hook just fell out. If I hadn't used my drag I might've lost the fish. Instead, the fish wore itself out and just came to the surface so I could scoop it with my net. I couldn't replicate this success at all the rest of the day, but for this one cast, I really felt like I was applying everything I'm learning here.

I'm curious about the net usage. Often when watching a big tournament the pros don't use a net, and sometimes it costs them the fish....why?

Alright I had a better outing last weekend. I tied on small jigs with small trailers and it worked textbook. Found them where I expected them (with FFS) put it on them, took my time, and hooked a nice small mouth.

Unfortunately, my leader knot came loose before I could get him in the boat.

So I have to look up the knot videos, especially tying line to line. But that leads to my question, how often should I be retying my leader line?

Yes sorry to clarify I see them on the forward facing sonar. One of the lakes where I fish predominantly is very clear.

Hey fam, been on the struggle bus of late. I can find them, I can get them to chase, I can't get them to bite. Swim jigs, chatter baits, football jigs, Texas rigs, spinner bait, drop shot, and wacky rig. Sometimes I get a couple of bites, but no fish. I think it's definitely user error. Any technique suggestions to save what's left of my summer fishing? Thanks in advance!
