StoneFly Posted December 5, 2009 Report Share Posted December 5, 2009 It was a pretty Tough Go today, saw quite a few Anglers out,..but not many fish,..so I approached the last log Jam before calling it a day,....I decided to Giver a drift or 3,...not caring if I would break off, so I buried it deep in the Wood,..lol. sure enough..I felt a very light tap and set the hook hard and this pretty Silver Girl came out to play, I locked the reel down with my finger and Began Pulling her out of the Wood,...she was a little stubborn about it though,...just then I lost may balance and landed up on my butt, but luckily I kept the line tight,..so I kept fighting her from the sitting position for what felt like 10 seconds,....(Now I know why the arm chair guys do it in August,..lmao)...when I felt the chance I quickly got to my feet and continued subduing the princess, she really wanted back in those logs,...but I finally landed her, thanks again Mr. FrogHair!!. Thanks to buddy who took the pic for me,..I think he is from this board,...musta been a laugh watching me fall down and still fight the fish. Sorry about the quality,..my Digi still aint workin right,..so the pics are Bass Pro Specials. Yes, I only Caught one Fish,..so Took 4 pics...lol, is that wrong? Also, I had to add this one,...my buddy and I on a different river,..nothing hitting,..so he did some 'Float' fishing..a different LogJam...lol,...Got 9 in total I think, I was just waitin for him to crash though.

tibbs Posted December 6, 2009 Report Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) I was laughing the whole time,..lol,..thats why I took the pic,....Really hilarious woulda been someone taking the pic of me Fighting that fish today on my backside.... Lol... It sure would. I had a similar experience... I remember this year I hooked into a good 10lb fish and I then realized i was knee deep in mud and had no way to escape. It started to run downstream and i had absolutely no control over it. I clamped down on the reel, but it sadly snapped the leader. After i lost the fish it took me a good 5 mins. to get out of the mud. Edited December 6, 2009 by tibbs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJL Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 Nice chrome bullet Stonefly. I've been in a few situations where I've had to fight fish from the seat of my pants and on a couple occasions, from my belly...Earlier this spring, while fighting a fish, I slid into the river and fell onto my butt...Only thing was water began pouring into the top of my waders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
