All Alone out there .......

[Ketchn]

Or at least I thought so .I hiked into a spot in the woods on a hiking trail .
It is almost to much for me to go up and down that little mountain.
the trail is rocky and narrow and steep .
I was into some real nice slabs and they required concentration .
The technique I was employing is super duper tricky .
A 7 foot rod with a jig set below a pinch on the line float 14 foot above the jig !
Now mind you some will laugh and some say it ain't possible .
But to be sure those that seen me in action before know it can be done .
Casting is way past tricky and landing fish is really tough as well .
The fish were in 16 foot of water and wanted the jig ALMOST dead still .
A VERY slight really SLOW drag it along got it done .
it was dead calm and cold out there and frosted ground .
Around the 3 rd fish I heard an ever so slight shuffle in the leaves behind me .
Next thing you know here comes a real pretty 20 ish gal just out for a middle of nowhere stroll in the woods ?
She looked at me like I was crazy and of course I looked at her the same way !
Never exchanged a word and we both went right on to the task at hand .
I made it back up the mountain and only had to stop twice , my newest personal best I might just mention ....
One of the fish possibly topped 2 lbs . and there didn't seem to be any under about 13 inches in the mix.
The bite was so super light if you blinked you wouldn't see it .
Was the hike worth it you might ask , first hook set and the fish don't budge an inch ....
YES it was and KABOOM is the word yawl
p.s. they liked they pearl a lot more than the yellow
