mike rousseau Posted February 3, 2012 Report Share Posted February 3, 2012 Well the girlfriend got off early today... So I got to go fishing tonight... Well me and a buddy fished for about an hour before we marked our first fish.. Wich refused our offerings... And so did the next 5 marks... We tried everything... Again... I decided to use my go to lure... And work on the cadence... Finally get I bite... Swing and a miss... Got my minnow... Rebaited and dropped... Bang got him that time... A nice 18-20 incher... Soon after my partner got SMOKED on his lindy darter... I guess they do work...lol I get cracked again... Feels huge... I'd gain 3-4 feet and she would take it right back... Work her up 20 feet and POP... Hook pulled.... I was devastated.... As I rebait I watched the beast swim back down... I dropped my bait back down... And before the fish made it to the bottom it saw my lure again... That's right... It hit again!!!!! After I just lost it seconds before... This time I got it up to the hole... OMG... Beast... I wasn't sure if it would fit through the 6 inch hole... We got her through the hole barely... She went 31x18 wich is 12lbs on the calculator... My new PB We later iced 2 more 18-20 inchers... What a great night Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
