F#@#! Report - Hotchkiss Pond, 5-22
Message:
Just got back from a brief stint at the Hotchkiss pond. Caught 1 tiny largemouth and hooked into another. The second and last fish of the night was very very large. Close to, if not certainly a Personal Best for me. I'm just estimating here for the following reason: Running the Yum Houdini Shad again, still haven't seen any blowups so wasn't up for much surface action tonight. Threw into a shallow section and did a little pause twitch action. Suddenly the bait stopped. Thought I had gotten a bunch of weeds again, then it pulled on me. It was on. Set the hook again just to make sure. I wrestle the fish through the weeds and get it to the rock next to me. I can't quite reach the water from where I am, so I have to lift the fish maybe 4 inches out of the water. As I bend over. *PING* Berkeley Vanish Strikes again. Fish drops to the water and sits there, allowing me to fume while viewing the almost-trophy. Again, worst part is, I left a lure in a very good fish's mouth. I feel awful doing that. I know you guys told me to get rid of the line, I'll admit it, I was kinda lazy. But it's coming off TONIGHT Now. I am SO MAD. Can't really guess at the weight as I'm a very bad judge, but this was one biggie fish. :evil:

Thats to bad. Knot to rub salt in the wound, but you do know the fish look smaller in the water right? Did i hear you say you were standing on a ROCK? If it was me !!! I would have been in the water rather than risk loosing the fish of a life time.
