I was out on Calhoun and was throwing a black buzz bait with a ringn grub for a trailer when a big ol fish slurped it up off the surface. it was a light strike and I thought it would be a small bass, but it started pulling good ! then it broke the surface I saw it, Tiger! I got it near my kyak, and I started to reach in my pocket for the camera, then wham! it jumped right into the yak with me right on my lap! Then it popped back in the water and started pulling me some more! Keep in mind it was pitch dark when this battle took place! :o Finally he seemed to tire and was just sitting there with a big toothy smile! I got the camera out pointed and hit the button....Ugh! just before the flash went he dove and all I got was its tail! I tried to pull him up for another attempt, but he was GONE!!!!!! no good pic! sorry, was fun though!



later ol reliable a largemouth bit and saved me from getting skunked!
