KevO Posted October 7, 2008 Posted October 7, 2008 Got off work early today and decided to go to my secret spot with the guy I work with. It was overcast and calling for rain so I had to go. We get to the spot around 11 a.m. and I make a few cast from the bank and stick a nice 3.75lb LMB on a DT4 rapala. Then we get in the boat and head across the lake to fish the flooded timber. Ten minutes later here comes the rain, but we fish anyway. I cast toward a laydown and bring my rapala out about 10ft from the shore and I feel some weight, so I set the hook.... FISH ON!!! She didn't feel like a big fish the whole fight to the boat. No jumping, she didn't strip any drag, just kinda drug her to the boat. Then I finally see her at the boat and she heads straight for the trolling motor. I get her away from the motor, next to the boat and one hook pops loose. It's now or never so I swoop down and lip her, get her in the boat and the digi reads 8lb even. What a day, shortly after that a thunderstorm rolled in and we left. BTW I smoked my buddy 3 fish to 0. Here's the pic, sorry its not that great but the camera phone is all I had. http://i539.photobucket.com/albums/ff351/bassakwards_08/8LB.jpg Quote
