Red Posted August 7, 2007 Posted August 7, 2007 well the fishing has been tough the last few days, mostly dinks and even they were few and far between...went out for a bit this evening and it was HOT....they werent touching any of my normal baits, topwater, cranks, trick stick...so i said, what the hell, and tied on a chart/white Hart spinnerbait with a red hook...a bait i have ZERO confidence in, my buddy uses them often with no luck...but i tied it on anyway.....was reeling in the third or fourth cast, and let go with one hand to get a bead of sweat threatening to screw up my vision...when i let go i lifted my rod high to keep the bait spinning while i wasnt reeling...thats when he nailed it...one armed hook set!...got em in along with about 7 lbs of weeds....it went 18", 3.5lbs....i have caught two others this year the same size, just cant seem to get past 3.5 lbs....anyway it was the only bite i had all night, but i was satisified Cliff Quote
