High water winter

hit the slaw today solo, worked my way around a bit with the high water.....showed up to a spot...when I got there, there was already a banker...he said he had just lost one.
which ment great things.....long story short......"mike" was a really cool guy......we swaped fishing stories and different spots to fish.....He hooked into a fish and lost it when it came out of the water shortly after hooking it....his style of chioce was drifteing and bobbering......mine was tossing the hardware. bout a half hour later he hooks into another just to have it pop off.........little while later I hook into one....nothing more then a few head shakes and a splash on the surface and fish off. hour or so later boom im on again.....a 10-12# chrome silver bullet comes flying out of the water and spits my hook all at the same time.......ugh.........Mike says keep with it, ull get one in.....just after he said that...he's on with a nice 9 pound buck hatchery fish..."BONK"......he worked hard for that fish..........abit later we see a nice fish roll out toward the middle....i cast out, letting the lure sweep across......BAM fish on........she wanted to pin me down like a salmon....I was having flashbacks of all the firetrucks.....then a show of chrome....big chrome.....wrestled her into the bank.....HATCHERY!! I yelled to mike in excitment because of all the trouble we were having keeping them on. now all the hard work paid OFF, we both had some winter chrome laying on the bank............not ten minutes later he is oin again.....and lands another nice keeper buck.

Thanks a lot BF....it really was nice to beable to BS and not have to worry about each others fishing style......with him drifting and me throwing lures....we didn't catch eachother up once.....anyone who fishes knows that can be tricky with bankies....i guess sometimes ur stuck with either a guy who is a complete ******* and doesn't give a crap about you or where your gear is running....or with someone who is not familiar with the area or fishing in general.....im never one to care about a "rookie" throwing over my line or whatever....but it was really nice to share my space with a well seasons fisherman......Fishing happens....snags happen....loss of gear happens....hanging up on someone else happens.......but its great when it doesn't!

Nice fish man! I also fish with a cool guy last weekend. Sure does make for good times, especially when you show up solo and end up with great company.

Nice fish bro! I love days where you hook them, see them and lose them. Then you hook another and bank it!! Looks like there is a lot of hatcherys this year??

The fish came early last year...one big push before Christmas then after that they were pretty few and far between for the most part....I hope they are a little more spread out this year so I don't have to drive so much chasing fish....not that it will stop me...

Very nice fish. It's good to see and hear about some keepers comming in. Between myself and two other buddies we have landed 4 natives and not one hatchery over on the slaw. Infact in 3 weekends of fishing I only saw one other fish get bonked and that was last Monday. Well done NWK...
