About 4 weeks ago my girlfriend and I went blueberry picking up at that little farm on Greenwood. Decided to get some sun and cast some lures at the boat landing when on the 3rd-4th cast I caught this nice sized springer. Had to borrow a net as I was fishing a smaller trout rod with 20lb braid. Needless to say the fishermen made some jokes about me poaching but were fairly happy when I gave them the Lil Cleo spoon(chartreuse) that I caught it on. Went back the next day and caught two more that I dare not show you cause they were fairly dark and you would be certain to laugh at me. Either way 3 springers in 2 days was pretty darn good luck. The 2 fish I caught on the 2nd day were both caught on a 2/3oz 'Tequila Sunrise' Lil Cleo that is fairly difficult to find except online. The 3rd fish I caught had actually sucked my lure off the bottom of the river as I had cast my line out to cut and re-tie because I had a small 'birds nest' in my line. Literally had the line coming through the eyes of the rod right above the reel in my hand retying a 'Double-Uni Knot' when all of sudden I felt a huge tug and I just started frantically tying a half-a$$ overhand knot and sucked the remaining line into the reel. At that point I knew I couldn't let the fish take the remaining line out or the knot would surely come loose. Brought a net the second day so the fish came in fairly easy after that and it was a pretty ugly looking hen. Kept all the fish for the sake of smoking and having some fish in the freezer. If you ask me enough I'll post the 3rd pic of the 2 ugly fish I kept just so you can laugh at me.
