forrest Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 (edited) After a slow afternoon waiting for the evening to arrive and loosing 2 good fish shortly after the hook-set we finally hooked into a decent fish. While I was getting us into position with the trolling motor my buddy said "where is your bobber?" I felt a tug, set the hook but was confused for about 10 seconds and I reeled in and mistook his bobber for mine. I thought I hooked up his line. For 5 full seconds I was thinking? Why is he pulling so hard if we are snagged up? On ultra-light tackle and 4lb test I had my hands full with this guy. He took one BIG vertical jump and at least 3 decent runs and I had acrobatically run to the front of the boat and around to keep him from getting hooked up on the motor and boat. On the downside I failed to check my line before hooking into another smaller fish that promptly snapped my line after about 30 seconds. The only other fished I bothered measuring was a 22+ inch SMB and this one....this one is 4lb 6oz. unknown length, notice the lack of arm stretch/optical illusion.

jediangler Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Nice smallie. Here's one my buddy "The Shipper" caught from Scugog a couple of years ago. Quite the radical difference in colours between them. And you say "arm stretch/optical illusion" like it's a bad thing. I call it creative photography.

Guest Johnny Bass Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Nice Scugog smallie. I'm surprised there aren't more of them in Scugog. Maybe they should stock it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
