fish-miester Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 So woke up this morning a little cranky .. figgured id go fishing .. kool off... you know .. well thats not the case.. i leave my boat at my buddies house.. turns out he took it out and wasnt comin back till late.. errr.... so i walk down to one of the water trails.. start fishin away .. caught a few 2lbers in the slop / pads.. and met a guy down there started betting on who would catch a bigger fish .. it was all fun and games till i saw this swirl .. which looked like a dang wirl pool wich lasted for a good 50 seconds.. so me figguring hey theres a fish there.. i take a cast.. and like i suspected.. there was! this thing slammed my spinner bait..next thing you know.. the fish takes a big head shake.. and we truly see how big this fish is.. (this bucket was honestly probably 7 pounds.. no smaller then 6.. this was a nice fish.. i look at the guy as hes now in aw.. next thing i no the fish is still splashin around and fighting like a train.. and im starting to get more spectators.. Then It Happend ! SNAP ! the fish jumped and snapped my line.. this thing was large .. and what caught me off guard was that a few of the guys came over and actually thanked me for the show, and showing them that there is still fish in the lake.. after that .. i packed it in.. for now atleast .. gotta go buy some new line haha but just thought Id share my day.. -A fellow fishermen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciceri Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 God I hate when that happens.. I had this huge musky on a couple years ago on a Jointed Rapala in Clown color, I got it while trolling and it was waaay out there, and it jumped and pulled its head while in the air and snapped my line, I was so mad, not only cause it got away, but it also got my best lure I had ever used. Now I can't find jointed Rapalas in that color anywhere... Does anyone know where I could get them in the color called Clown by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paully Posted August 15, 2009 Report Share Posted August 15, 2009 If Clown is a red head with a white body i dont think they make them anymore.. But i could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ciceri Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 If Clown is a red head with a white body i dont think they make them anymore..But i could be wrong. Yea, and it has a bit of green on it.. I had found mine floating in the river, so I changed the hooks and it was a fish magnet. Did you google it and check ebay? eg http://setthehook.com/jointedXrap.htm No, I just looked in tackle stores. I don't have a credit card or check book. Maybe I'll have to get my mom to help me out. And thats what they look like, but in the Orignal Jointed Rapala J-11. What's the shallowest running Jointed X-Rap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted August 16, 2009 Report Share Posted August 16, 2009 That sucks about your fish. I lost a Donkey this week as well. Probably close to 5 pounds because I forgot my net. Not to hijack this thread but it looks like this guy has the j-11 clown. Great prices as well. Look under the category freshwater crankbaits and topwater http://www.nealsfishingtackle.com/tacklesupplies.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
