Super User deep Posted April 13, 2015 Super User Posted April 13, 2015 This little CPL has been very good to me this year. Pitched my jig past the head of a big tree in the water. She bit on the fall in about 15 FOW. Didn't see the line jump in the breeze, but felt the bite all right (12# Tatsu). Set the hook, and she dove straight into the tree (of course). Kinda difficult to turn a biggish fish on a medium power rod and 12# line, so I gave her a little thumb drag after freespooling the reel, and she found her way out of trouble after a while and made off for deeper water. Changed my position a little so that the tree wasn't in the way any more, and got her in. At least I'm getting enough practice landing adult fish until I eventually run into the heavy hitters lol. Got some catching up to do. 1/4 oz jig and craw fished on 12# Tatsu. Fish went 4-05 on my Berkely handheld. 6 Quote
