Super User flyfisher Posted July 8, 2016 Super User Posted July 8, 2016 with a soon to be 2 week old baby and a 6 year old in the house my fishing time is somewhat limited. Luckily for me, my wonderful wife said she had no issues with me going out fishing last night. I loaded up and was on the water right at 9:15. There was still some ambient light but it was getting dark pretty quickly. I decided to throw a frog around the lilly pad edges to see what was going on. about 30 minutes in had a hit but missed him. I threw back to the same spot and he hit again. I am thinking it's probably a pickerel because i don't see bass hit that many times usually but apparently night fishing is a different game. On the third hit I got a solid hookup and realized it was not a pickerel....it was my first citation sized (length) bass of the year. Of course the one time i want my scale i don't have it but hey, that's how it goes. I continue fishing till about 2:00am and land one more fish on the frog....another citation sized fish. I did lose a couple fish on flukes and caught one little one on a creature bait. All in all it was good evening and got my first two citations of the year. I am gonna try my best to get out again tonight if i can get another hall pass lol 8 Quote

Bass_Reapa Posted July 8, 2016 Posted July 8, 2016 Seriously, I ask to stay out to 9pm with just a pregnant wife and get the death stare. lol Nice fish though! Anyone who catches a hawg on a frog I have to give props to. I have had more heartbreaks on top water frogs than I can count. Good stuff, thanks for the post! 2 Quote

Although it wasn't always that way in the beginning. The first boy was almost all her, the second-mostly, the third and fourth, shared responsibility, IIRC. 2 Quote

Yeah she is building up a surplus right now so i imagine at some point, things will change but until then, i'll take any fishing trip when i can get it 1 Quote
