Drove 15 minutes, Fished 15 minutes, Drove back home!

Mrs Splashhopper asked me if I wanted anything from the mall today..

Not even sure if I heard the rest of the conversation after she said "mall" :huh: .

 

All I "heard" was...honey... I am going to the mall.. you may as well go fishing B)

 

So I drove 15 minutes, fished 15 minutes, drove back home :rolleyes:

 

It was "almost" the best 15 minutes of my life !

 

I arrived to find this >

Hmmm....

That's a LOT of mud from last nights rain... :o

So I walk about 200 yards and find this (note the sunshine and the pond scum)>>

PERFECT ! :unsure:

 

I set up my rod and throw the "scum frog" in to THE SCUM :P and wait "5 steamboats" and then give it a little twitch..

 

WHAMMO.. and a miss :angry:

 

give a few more "steamboats" and another little twitch to see if its still there...

 

WHAMMO.. .AND ANOTHER MISS :angry:

 

geeeshhh... now i am getting a little worried..

 

A couple of "steam boats" later and WHAM... the rod damned near came out of my hand :o

 

I SET THE HOOK hard !

 

and bring my PB Large-mouth Bass in >>>

The picture doesn't do it justice at all...

it was 18" and thick thick thick. :thumbsup_anim:

Nobody on the trail at that moment to take a pic for me... I hurried up and got it back in the water to live another day.

 

So, I decide to try the "Scum Frog" on the SCUM again... see if it's lives up to its name again

 

Sure enough..... first cast and KAPOW ! fISH ON and I bring this little one in (average for this place)

( this time a hiker was passing by and snapped a quick pic for me)

 

The sad thing about that last one was that the lure was so far down its throat I couldn't get the hook out.

I bled it out and brought it home for my neighbor just to get the "SCUM FROG" back.

 

Just as I get ready for my third cast....

CRACK.. BANG... BOOM... CRASH and holy crap.... a cloud burst right above me...

I was soaked in a matter of seconds....

 

That was the end of a "perfect guilt free Sunday of fishing" for me....

LMAO..

 

Can i say it any louder folks.....

I am HOOKED on Top-WATER fishing in the sloppiest crap I can find !!

hey splashhopper is that the ponds in the Pond Mills area? I grew up there and use to fish them often.I have not fished them in about 10 years. I also was a member of the fishing club off southdale and was thinking about re-joiniing. Those ponds are full of bass.

Great job, I have had times like that where the fish had hit 2 or 3 times in the slop gets ur heart pumping.

 

 

Thanks and congrads,

MTBF

 

Is it better than a 10# sucker or carp going into action at yer feet as you wade a treacherous bit of rapids? My aged heart struggles with those d----d things. Heaven only knows how much more ferocious they'd be if they had my hook stuck in 'em.

nice fish but that sounds a bit dangerous to me.

 

 

when the wife says "why don't you go fishing while I go to the mall"

 

well, it just doesn't sound right :unsure:

 

 

hey.. you "hear" like I do...

 

she didn't say those exact words....

that's just what I "thought" she was telling me ;)
