COOSEFAN Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Well I should be doing other things instead of fishin', but i just can't help myself! I've got a new "honey hole", one that I've known about but haven't tried yet until recently. Tonight was the first time draggin' the boat in there and my buddy David and I were not dissappointed in the least! We only had 2 hours to find the fish and figure out what they were hungry for and it took all of about 5 casts to land the first one which was a solid 3 pounder! We caught several more in the 2-3 pound range and were excited becuase we knew it was only a matter of time before one of us caught a really good fish. Sure enough David slams the rod back bringing a big explosion in the water with a great 5 pounder dancin' around trying to shake the jig free! Now it was my turn! Shortly after David caught his big fish we rolled up on a small break in the brush, David said there should be a fish in there, so I casted to it and over shot the spot. David laughed and made the comment that I must be trying to be sneaky by bringin' my bait past the spot instead of hitting it.....more or less makin' fun of my casting skills Well whatever I did worked and sure enough a fish was in the spot, I felt the hit and laid into the rod and instantly felt the hard pull of the fish! I knew at that point I had something good! The fish was haulin' for deep water and directly under the boat and it was all I could do to hold the rod against the boat until I got him turned back toward the shore! I kept telling David to get the net, this one is a pig! Finally the fish rose and I then could see it wasn't the 10 pounder I thought I had, but a pig of a fish nonetheless! We finally landed em' and I was excited as it's definitely one of the biggest bass I've boated! The scale said she was just over 6 pounds! In the end we ended up with 15 fish landed and several caught and lost, and almost all of them were 2 pounds or bigger! Too much fun! JIM> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted March 6, 2009 I think You and Dave both need to WORK more and fish less!!! You guys make me sick!!!! Every time you guys go out you boat a couple of monster fish!!! I am envious.... Congrat on the Biggun's! Enjoy while you can Buddy it will be hot enough to fry eggs on the boat pretty soon!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COOSEFAN Report post Posted March 6, 2009 Yeah, when it gets that hot I'll already be back up north watchin' the elk grow! I don't get much time to fish but when I do I tend to put everything else in my life on hold.....just ask my wife, she knows all about it! We never keep any of the fish we catch so these will hopefully grow up into that 10 pounder that I hope to catch on another day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
