A 4 and a half lb bass is a really good fish.  I'd take that any and every day.  

I'm really the same way,  I'm happy catching anything that bites.  Been thinking about fishing a lot with all this snow on the ground.  Got plenty of time to let my mind run wild at the moment lol

Wade fishing is my favorite type of fishing too.  There's a little creek around here,  off of a country road,  it used to get stocked with trout every Spring.  Just a small creek with some deep water holes in it.  I'd wade it several times each Spring.  I'd tie my stringer to one of the belt loops on my pants lol

Beautiful scenery wading that creek.  Big rock cliffs.  Stayed pretty cool there even in the summer.  You'd wade past hay fields and back in the day tobacco bottoms. 

That creek isn't stocked with trout anymore.  I still wade it several times a year.  Mostly catching bait for catfish.
