ShaneK1990 Posted October 3, 2010 Posted October 3, 2010 So Saturday (10/02/10) I decided to hit the lake around 10 am. And it wasn't looking like a a good day for me. I had two strong hits first one popped out the mouth when I went to set the hook and the second swam under a tree and wrapped while bringing him in. Then I cast out and the wind caught my line and blew it in to a tree and my line was laying on the bark about three feet up and wouldnt you know a fish grabbed the senko right when it hit the water, so I had to reel a dink 3ft up a tree smh. At this point I was ready to call it quits. While heading to my car my cousin showed up (FATE) and talked me in to stayin a little longer. I walked to the other end of the lake and caught another dink and decided Id walk on around to this narrow shale bank. I cast out about 20 feet and as soon as my line hit the water the line was stripping (bail still open). I set the hook and probably took me a good 5 minutes to get this guy in! He fought to the very end going straight down. We were in 15-20ft of water. Best fight of my life Quote

Super User BASSclary Posted October 3, 2010 Super User Posted October 3, 2010 Beautiful lookin' bass you got there Quote
endless Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Nice bass!! Those seemed to be some steep hills, are you able to walk around the whole pond and have you slip in the water yet? Quote
Randall Posted October 4, 2010 Posted October 4, 2010 Congrats! That looks like a great lake with all that wood in the water behind you. Quote
ShaneK1990 Posted October 4, 2010 Author Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks guys! Nice bass!! Those seemed to be some steep hills, are you able to walk around the whole pond and have you slip in the water yet? The other half of the lake is level. The backside (where I'm at) is the back side of a mountain. Its reeeally steep and most people dont go back there but theres actually a little path back there and I've had a lot of success. It was crazzy trying to land this fish though. I had to walk him down a bit to find a place to land him. I managed to cut my leg all up and was so excited I didnt even notice until I released him And no I havent fallen in yet, and I plan on keeping it that way lol. Quote

I love this lake! mainly because of all of the trees and various covers in the water. And this fall weather makes it that much better! Quote
