Super User roadwarrior Posted May 25, 2012 Super User Posted May 25, 2012 Dateline: Friday, May 25th, 2:45 P.M. Germantown Public Pond Rage Tail Lobster rigged on a Moaner prototype It's 95 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. First cast at 1:00, not a single strike. After fishing a steep bank to the end of the pond, I turned around to walk back without much enthusiasm...it's hot! Instead of "fishing", I simply cast as far out into the pond as I could, then "trolled" the Lobster, releasing line as I walked. Every 75 yards or so, I retrieved the bait, then recast to the middle. The fish struck about half way back. No initial run, just straight up and out. Oh my God! I had at least 75 yards of line out and had no control over the fish whatsoever. Up again! Now running to deeper water I was able to retrieve some line, but she was in no mood for sun bathing on the beach. After a few minutes, the Walmart Girl was mine... No pic, no scale, no claim to weight, but she was HUGE! Quote
Bassin' gal Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 And that is exactly why we all are addicted to bass fishing! Congratulations! Quote
matstone7 Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 And that is exactly why we all are addicted to bass fishing! Congratulations! I agree Bassin' gal', nice going RW. Quote
Big-O Posted May 26, 2012 Posted May 26, 2012 "The Mermaid of Germantown Pond" And we can only fantasize of her shape, size and beauty... Our Brother RW was swooned by her so we can always tell this story from a close personal perspective.... Battles of that type need to be captured on video but then again, maybe with this encounter it's only right that she disappeared back to the deep with only a memory and a song, WTG RW I love these battles and stories too! www.ragetail.com Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 26, 2012 Super User Posted May 26, 2012 RW strikes again! Congrats buddy! Jeff Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted May 26, 2012 Super User Posted May 26, 2012 Well we know it was bigger than 7lb-7oz! Congrats Kent. Quote
Will Wetline Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Well told story, thank you. Care to estimate the weight of your hefty honey? Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 27, 2012 Super User Posted May 27, 2012 For the love of all that's holy -- get a phone with a camera in it. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 27, 2012 Super User Posted May 27, 2012 For the love of all that's holy -- get a phone with a camera in it. He has one, but he is to "tech challenged" to even operate the camera! HAHA!! Jeff Quote
jignfule Posted May 28, 2012 Posted May 28, 2012 For the love of all that's holy -- get a phone with a camera in it. good advice. Quote
Super User Chris at Tech Posted May 28, 2012 Super User Posted May 28, 2012 He has one, but he is to "tech challenged" to even operate the camera! HAHA!! Jeff So what you're saying is that we stand zero chance of RW taking and posting a pic unless Shimano comes out with a camera? Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 29, 2012 Author Super User Posted May 29, 2012 No...When I have someone with me, we'll get a few pics. Next weekend I'm fishing ledges on Pickwick with four other boats. If we catch something "picture worthy" I will have someone post it for me. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted May 29, 2012 Super User Posted May 29, 2012 Just so you guys know, RW would only own a "Shimano" camera, AND "picture worthy" to him is a GIANT to us! Ledge fishing should produce a good fish for him, so hopefully we will see some. Jeff Quote
