Fish Chris Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 It's probably a bit misleading when I pop in every now and again with a 10 to 15 plus monster, but not tell you about my skunk trips in between :-) I fished all day last Monday, and had 1 small tap on the Hud. As I reeled in, the fish continued to follow it up to the boat, but it was just a dink. That was it for 10 hours. Went back Tuesday, and fished 10 more hours, and only had one nice 10 to 11 lb follower. That was it for Tuesday. But guess what ? I'm not even the slightest bit deterred ! :-) We have had a real nice cool down in the weather (especially at my pond near the ocean... actually wearing long johns today :-)), and I have ALL the confidence in the world for the next 3 days :-) Fixin' to stick a pig ! Whooo Hooo ! :-) Come on 19 plus !!! :-) Please wish me luck..... Fish Quote
Super User senile1 Posted July 9, 2007 Super User Posted July 9, 2007 I think it is big of you to tell everyone about your skunks because we've all seen the amazing pictures of your hawgs, and they are truly hawgs in every sense of the word. Maybe this will help a newer angler to deal with his or her frustration when they don't get a bite. Quote
mattm Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Thanks for the encouragment Chris. What would the dink that nipped the bait weigh 7, 8 lbs. ;D Quote

Super User Bassn Blvd Posted July 9, 2007 Super User Posted July 9, 2007 We all have seen and drueled over those hogs you bring in. I know this isn't the "challenge board" but lets see what you can bring in with a med/lt spinning rod with 8 lb mono, not braid......and no leader..... Quote
Super User fourbizz Posted July 9, 2007 Super User Posted July 9, 2007 Chris is an animal when it comes to fighting big fish on light gear, so even with "crap-o-filament", at the right time of year, I have no doubt that he could bring in a 12+ at will on that gear. What is your biggest sturgeon on the ultra-lite fish? How about catfish on an ultra light? Quote

Super User fourbizz Posted July 9, 2007 Super User Posted July 9, 2007 OHHHHH so thats why he uses a 7' UL trout rod for 80+ inch sturgeon! the whole knife-sword-warrior thingy...... jk Quote

tbone31 Posted July 9, 2007 Posted July 9, 2007 Remeber a bad day on the water is still better than a good day at work!! I fully expect to see another picture of a wopper!! Lots of luck Quote

Low_Budget_Hooker Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 It's a shame you won't catch squat! Wrong bait for those conditions and that lake isn't a very good choice in ANY weather. You can throw for the next 3 months but you're gonna zero. Sorry bud, that's the way it is. (I specialize in reverse psychology and I am assuming Fish is the kinda guy that likes to shut a loud mouth ) Now everybody sit back and watch how this works,.....mark my words...... ...............C'mon 26 Quote
deadeye32. Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 It's funny you said that about the cool down and long johns, cause as we were watching the Home Run erby last night, we saw people wearing jackets and long sleeves. My wife was wondering where it was at due to the long clothes. Quote
Lightninrod Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 Please wish me luck..... Fish You got it young man! ****** a few more over there on the left coast . I too usually don't mention the 'skunk days' but neither do I fish for "10 hours". Hardcore Basser for sure Chris. Dan Quote

Dan Same here, Chris you have way more perseverance that I do, I can fish for 10 hours a day but not if I am getting a skunk put on me. Quote
TheBeast Posted July 10, 2007 Posted July 10, 2007 It stands to reason that you get quite a few skunks or slow days, the type of fish he catches and posts on here don't come along in schools (unless your Randall fishing in Georgia ;D). 10 hours, we have a tourny this saturday that is 11 hours (8:00 pm - 7:00 am) Quote
