Neil Driver from Greystones, Co. Wicklow, sent us this photo of his first bass of 2012. He caught and released the fish on Sunday 22nd of April. Neil was fishing with his friend James MacSweeney in Cork Harbour aboard a Bella Vista self drive. The bass fell for a soft plastic lure on a 15 gram jig head. The fish was in great condition and was released after a few photos.
