Super User 00 mod Posted September 20, 2010 Super User Posted September 20, 2010 Ok so I met up with Road Warrior again for our normal Sunday fishing trips! We decided to try a different spot than we have ever fished before and after about an hour and only one dink we decided to jump in the truck and head to a different pond! A little Sunday morning pond hopping! We decided to split off and fish different banks. First cast to where Kent said he hadn't caught a fish all year and Bam, bout a 1-1.5 lber.(my fav worm) Nice start, but we wanted bigger! After fishing down his entire bank and catching a nice 4lber(megastrike mega-bug), Kent fished his way back around towards me where I hadn't had another bite, but was furiously fishing "the hole" where Kent had landed a 5lber and a 7-8lber earlier in the week! I had switched off to a Rage Tail Rage Hog Summercraw. About 10 more mins, as Kent and I were talking BAM, there she was my PB on the end of my line. She surfaces for us to realize it WAS her!!!!!! Kent reels in and sets his pole down to help me land her, but at that instant, my hook comes dislodged and flying back at me! GRRR! I slam my rod into the ground like an idiot, and then put my hook back in the Rage Hog and threw back in! Kent responds with a, "You usually only get one shot at a fish that size!" We fish a couple more casts, and Kent throws his lure into the hole as we chat some more! About 4 casts later, bam I set the hook, and the fish flashes for me to realize its not her, but a nice fish nonetheless. Just as had happened before, here comes my hook/lure shooting back at me! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! I ask Kent, "what the HE**?" He says check your hook! I lightly set it onto my thumb nail, which it proceeded to puncture with no problem? HMM, maybe just not getting good bites, or????? So about 2 casts later Bam, and I land what I think was the second fish that struck and I missed, about a 4.5-5lber(Kent agreeds)! Pic doesn't do justice to the size as I was holding her at an angle not to see her belly! Needless to say, I will be fishing for that fish until I catch her, everyday for the next.........GRRRR!! I had dreams about her last night..... Quote

Big-O Posted September 20, 2010 Posted September 20, 2010 00 mod, You did GOOD and don't worry too much about getting frustrated, we all do sometime. I bet an Owners 5/0 standard offset J hook will get you hooked up for good on the Rage Hawg, my favorite hook for it... Now that you know where she's hangin', slip back out there first chance and get some payback You can do it!! RW seems to be a good luck charm for many of us here at BR Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Super User 00 mod Posted September 21, 2010 Author Super User Posted September 21, 2010 Its not my spot to share the info, but the person whose spot it is might chime in! Sorry not to sound like a brat, but I promised not to tell, in order to get to fish there! Jeff Quote
Super User Tin Posted September 21, 2010 Super User Posted September 21, 2010 Nothing like fishing private ponds. Quote
Big-O Posted September 22, 2010 Posted September 22, 2010 Might try a smaller presentation like 1/8 oz jig and/or a small T rigged soft plastic...Go to Stealth Mode Big O www.ragetail.com Quote

Posted September 22, 2010 Super User Posted September 22, 2010 Might try a smaller presentation like 1/8 oz jig and/or a small T rigged soft plastic...Go to Stealth Mode Big O www.ragetail.com I agree. Perhaps even the exact opposite will work as well. Feed 'em a meal. Get a wake bait and go to town. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted September 22, 2010 Author Super User Posted September 22, 2010 After throwing the rage hog Tues morning, I tried a black Cavitron buzz bait with no luck! Jeff Quote
