Lunker At My Spot!
Joel and I went out for some Pickerel fishing, Loaded up the boat early with some shiner, breakfast, and some drinks. We hit out favorite spot.
Pickerel weren't having it. Joel put 2 dinky bass on the boat so we moved to the other section of the pond out of the weeds looking for a good hole and drop off to hit. Finally found where some weeds gave way to about a 15 foot deep hole. Skinny and about 70' long. We were casing Rubber worms against the edges. Nothing, Nothing, Nothing.
Then BAM! Thought I got fouled up in the weeds(Again for like the 100th time) and my reel started screaming. Adjusted my drag, made some headway and then it took it again, adjusted my drag, made some headway, and the same thing (thank god for braided line).
Finally saw the beast in the water and Joel started yelling for the net. pulled him on the boat and we were both amazed. This was the Largest bass all season. Finally!
I caught my Lunker! we weighed him quick, measured him and quickly put him back in. (wish I took more pic's but I wanted to get him in the water asap because we were fighting for awhile and didn't want to over stress him).
