The Dude Posted June 25, 2007 Posted June 25, 2007 We had an awesome day at the pond today. Fishing was slow for about the first 20 minutes, then Laine hooked into a nice bass. He fought it for awhile, but it ended up spitting his jig out on the first big jump. (kinda sucked for Laine, but it worked out good for me later! ) We noticed a bunch of fish hitting the surface out in the middle of the pond, so we decide to go out there and throw some topwaters at them. We ended up catching over 30 each in about 3 hours! Caught almost all of them on Zara Spooks, and Rebel Pop-R's. I ended up catching my very first double. Two fish on the same lure at one time! We decided before we left to go back and fish the same spot that Laine hooked the big one earlier in the morning. Well it only took about two cast before I hooked into a nice 7 pounder. The old girl put up an awesome fight! Thanks for leaving her for me Laine! ;D Quote
The Dude Posted June 25, 2007 Author Posted June 25, 2007 Here's a pic of the 7 pounder. Kinda strange, she had a nice belly on her, and her tail was messed up like she was on a nest or something. Surely she still wasn't spawning??? Quote

The Dude Posted June 26, 2007 Author Posted June 26, 2007 Quote Did you get to break those new reels in? ( Ize Millionaire, TDZ- R) No, the new reels are safely tucked away in the display cabinet.. I used the old tried and true Mg50 and Curados... Daiwa's are the coolest reels, but I really like fishing with Shimano's Quote
