I was nightfishing and I accidentally threw a chatterbait over the corner of the dock. Got bit and when I set the hook the fish flew out of the water and hung from the corner of the dock. Keep in mind, that all of this happened in the pitch black dark and I never knew that I casted over the dock. I just knew that I got a bite and was hung up. I got a pretty good laugh when I turned on the spotlight and saw him hanging there ;D ;D

Great fish. I stayed at a friends vacation house up there 2 years ago. It was in N. Carolina, about 100 yards from the Virginia line. Their house was on the new river. What a beautiful place to fish. We fished it for the weekend and caught a bunch of red eyes. Had a great time! Good luck and congrats too...

Been doing it for a few years... It seems to work really well in the early spring too. I had alot of luck with it this past summer, but I used a couple of split shots instead of a bigger weight. It works well to pick off the bigger fish that hang out under a school of bass feeding on the injured baitfish 8-) Had some of my best days with a c-rigged fluke...

Carolina rigged flukes...

Thats what happened, it was over a week from when he stole my crankbait until I recovered it when he hit my buzzbait... "Unbelievable"!!!

How ya like them pics of you in there! I'll have to burn you a cd. There are 379 pics from 06' on my computer, quite a few of you too...

Thanks! I hope everyone else has as good of a day as we did! 8-)

Gave it another try today and got a great start to a new year... Caught 11 fish in 2 hours. My roomate Jason got the biggest, we didn't weigh it but it was probably 7- 7 1/2 lbs! we had 3 others around 3 lbs or so. The rest were 2 pounders. We need to get some scales on his boat : Hope everyone had a great new year!

Cool story!!!

I think that was the only fish we caught that trip, or the only fish that my trailer caught anyhow... ;D

Sorry for all the pics! Hope ya'll enjoy!!! Have a happy new year!!!
