Dirtyeggroll Posted May 29, 2018 Posted May 29, 2018 Had them dialed in today. One of the best days of fishing of my life. Here was the recipe: Step 1: Forget your phone. Who really needs it anyway when you're fishing by yourself? What could you possibly need it for? Picture of a PB maybe? Step 2: Get to the boat ramp and realize you forgot your net. Well good thing you also forgot your phone so you can't call someone to bring you one... Step 3: Dial the fish in on squarebill. Yep, catching fish on every 2nd to 3rd cast. Of course, the best bite of the day is going to be on light wire treble hook crankbaits, you know, since you forgot the net. At least you changed the stock hooks to #4 Mustad Ultrapoint Triple Grip. Step 4: Donate your scale to the lake. Weighing fish is for chumps. I mean, you've probably already caught the biggest fish in the lake at about 6 lbs on a previous trip. Not anything any bigger really worth weighing. Step 5: HOLY $@#& you just hooked up with a GIANT on a squarebill. Where's the net! Where's the net! Oh no, you forgot it. What are you gonna do? FISH JUST JUMPED!!! OMG its HUGE! Heart's really racing now. Lip it? Start to shake with nerves. Oh no, you're gonna get hooked past the barb. Who cares, the fish is worth it! Wait last time you tried to lip a fish with trebles you knocked it off on the boat bumper. Step 6: Taking drag, back to the boat, taking drag, dives under boat, back up, going for trolling motor, back up, getting closer to boat. Grab that beast under the belly and put it in the boat!!! 23.5 inches and thick! I'm guessing around 7 lbs. Biggest bass I have ever caught in my adult life (I once caught an 8-8 on a minnow when I was 8 years old). Step 7: Stand shaking with a giant fish in your hands. Realize the you're wearing a GoPro. There is a record of this fish! I will add a YouTube link later today when get it all edited. For now here is a picture with evidence of how bad they wanted the little KVD 1.5 Bluegill color. 7 Quote
