Good story as always, and a nice mess o’slabs!
Met up with 2 fellas the other day . One I met Monday and the new one who has quite a few years on me was holding the EXACT same rod I just bought a few weeks ago !
Even had the price tag still on it .
Well let me say this about that , The 2 of us flat hurt the crappie BIG time with those Shake my spear made in china fish stickers .
2 hours of good laughs and the live well had a nice bunch of fish when we departed . He was quiet as a church mouse and very methodic and steady reeling in fish . He loved to cast and reel very slowly and man did we ketch some fish .
One moment in time he casted left and was sitting on a swivel seat and leaned over right to see a slab I just slung in the boat . At that very moment a fish hit his jig so hard .....
It turned him 180 degrees in his seat and almost took the rod out of his hand , don't think I ever seen a better strike from any fish in my life !
What makes it even more memorable is he flat out MISSED the hook set and the fish! we both about cried tears .He said how on earth could I have missed a bite like that ? I said I have not a clue sir but i wish i had that on video , we would be famous .
Sure was fun and I am pretty sure we will get to do it again .
The fish were stacked up like cord wood again in pretty short water about 8 foot deep . If you put anything down there close to the bottom and flicked it a few times they would just flat HAMMER the bait .
Little tiny pieces of brush laid on the bottom placed there by ma nature and its a flat about a quarter mile long . We kept the numbers of kept fish lower at around 40 ,as the captain complained about cleaning to many and the bonus keeper was a beautiful grey tree frog to show my daughter !
good times no doubt and KABOOM is the word
sum kawl me tha outlaw ketchn whales
So meeting one good fisherman, has lead you to another. For on the water fishing, has taken a new tern for you. If the one guy blew up your phone with pics and info, might more of the same happen now?
