l2p Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Was out for an afternoon fish yesterday, the target in mind were suckers and hoping for a couple drop backs to scratch the itch. After getting bored of catching suckers n no drop backs to show for our efforts we decided to switch it up and move down to the lake, soon as we get there we notice thousands of minnows surfacing on a big hatch of mayflies. Pretty slow for the most part saw a couple fresh bows jumping out in the flow to the lake way out of drifting distance, then out of no where this fish comes along and drops my float. Belly was so full of shiners looked like it had a tumor. Thats it for me until opener weekend, get some headshakes before leaving on my flight that monday to southeast Asia for some Peacock Bass and Snakehead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asdve23rveavwa Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Fat pig of a crappie!! Had a similiar surprise last Saturday. Looking for chrome, caught an OOS smallmouth in a spot I've fished for many years. First time I've ever caught a bass there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 That is BIG! Congrats to you. You look out at the big lake and can't help but think what an unlikely place to nab a slab that size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l2p Posted April 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Thanks guys! A big surprise indeed, more so that I caught it on a worm dragging bottom lol. Roy gotta love fishing the big water, your float goes down and you never know for sure whats on the other end. Pics of snakehead and peacock bass to come, along with what other fish may cross my lures path down in Asia! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
