Yea man I have a lot of stories about missing the monster fish, it's rough especially when you ey to see what you missed!
Man I know the dilemma of fishing but our football dedication trumps fishing lol. Last night for example I went fishing caught a few and around 8ish I noticed a lot of activity on top water, I'm a frog guy, and since the first NFL game was set to kick off at 8:30 I left.
I do a lot of my fishing in the evenings and on weekends. Now that I am following college football this season weekends and some nights when big games are on are no longer fishing days.
