Is it Global Warming or Friday the 13th isn't as bad as we think
As the water temps cool down, I never expected to catch a 25lb Flat head on a 10 foot jig pole with 8 Lb test this late in the year. It took all i could muster keeping the fish out of brush and stumps on the Mr Crappie 8lb test I was using and the fight lasted about 45 minutes. The fish hit a BG chart split tail tipped with a nibble right in the middle of a brush pile. How i got him out of there was nothing short of a miracle. It was a great evening of fishing and found some Main Lake black toads to go with my flat head steaks too boot. Now if i can just add some Venison to the mix in the morning, What a weekend it will be. Still got to ask myself Is it just Global Warming, Or Friday the 13th isn't that bad?
I was able to pull my drowning dog Titan up out of the water as I was motoring back in at dark he accidentally fell in and was about to take his last breath. The shock and panic in the cold water just about took him today quickly. Thank the good Lord I was able to get to him in time. As I got the boat turned around to him he layed on his side... and starts to paddle in a frantic circle. I knew he would not make it if i did'nt get to him fast at this point. Thank You Lord.

Yes sir! Nice ones Russ! I though a guy had stole your boat today but it ended up being Greg's old boat and it's new owner. I thought something fishy was going on!

Russ I don't believe man is causing any global warming or the superstitions about Friday the 13th but I do believe that is a good mess of fish. I am glad you could save your buddy.

No picture of your dog? After reading the story I wanted to see what he looked like. Was not a Lab I assume, hard to drown them, thou it has been done by kids throwing sticks or balls in the water until the dog was too tired to make it back to shore.
