Spring Pond 8/18
Message:
I took a quick ride over to Spring Pond since I had a little time to kill around lunch from 12:00pm to 1:30pm. It was sunny and the water was calm and the level was down a couple of feet so some of the usual spots where there is cover were out of the water. I got two bites from LMB off of a big rock just below the surface on the East shore in about 3-4ft of water. The first one I pitched a wacky 5" purple senko over to the backside of the rock and immediately I thought I had snagged the rock. Then the fish moved and I knew it was a big one. It swam toward the boat and then turned and dove under and bent my rod in half and towed my boat around a little. I got straightened out and the guy made a run and ripped off some drag. Once I got him back over to the side of the yak and was just about to yank him on board he threw the damn hook and swam away. I got a good look at him since it was only a couple feet away and I would guess it was at least in the 4lb to 4.5lb range, maybe more. It would have been a new PB if I could have landed it. The way it was towing my boat I though I had a good hookset in the damn thing. I was pissed but what could I do. I threw back at the rock and immediately hooked up with a baby 9" or 10" LMB but I was too pissed to measure it. I pitched a few more times at the rock but that was a done deal. That one will haunt me for a while...most likely until I catch a bigger one :x Anyway that's my rant, I mean report for the day.
