paul. Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 i guess this fish just loves ragetails. but don't they all? started to second guess my choice to fish in a jonboat with 20 mph winds today until this ol' gal came along to see me again. water was stained so i needed something with a big profile and a lot of movement to get their attention. black and blue smokin' rooster got the call and she just had to have it. or maybe she just missed me and wanted to say hi again. either way, i'll take it. now check this out. here she is in october after eating a jig and rage chunk. and the pic below is from this evening. same fish. recognized her almost instantly when i saw her. in over 100 acres of water. interestingly enough, i caught her on the opposite side of the lake this time, well over 300 yards from where she was this fall. ain't that crazy?

Super User 00 mod Posted January 31, 2012 Super User Posted January 31, 2012 Awesome and congrats!! Did you weigh her both times? Looks to be "about" the same size! Jeff Quote
paul. Posted January 31, 2012 Author Posted January 31, 2012 oct. was high 7's. don't remember exactly. today was 7-3. Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted January 31, 2012 Super User Posted January 31, 2012 Nice! I guess that is to be expected with a January fish! Congrats again! Jeff Quote
Big-O Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 WTG Paul, she just wanted to let you know that the entire lake belongs to her ; ) and that she likes the taste of chicken.... I mean Rooster lol. Big O www.ragetail.com 1 Quote
hookset on 3 Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 Is it that little spot on the left side of her lip? I see it easily in both photos. Way to go Paul. Quote
paul. Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 yes. that and a distinctive spot on her lower jaw you can't see in the pics. some other things too, but those are the main ones. Quote
