Snuck out to good ol dead kitty pond for a couple hours tonight . Switched up baits played for an hour and a half no luck. decided to go back to the basics , still no results. Wind picked up clouds grew ever darker , I decided to start headin in. As i slowly paddled through a narrow part saw some movement by a log . Without a thought I grabbed the spinnin rod and pitched a perfect cast right where the action was . Sure nuff boink boink I set the hook and it was on nice 2-3 lb er got him right up to the boat and like a bad case of dejavu he was gone ! A bit dejected and excited all at once I slowly paddled towards home . Then it caught my eye a nice inlet in some submerged trees w/a log floatin right at the V. Well you know me ! 1 more cast ! unbelievebale boink boink just the lightest little tap. Still pissed from the last incident I took out a bit of aggression on this guy set the hook like i meant it! Bam zzzzzzzzzzzzz the drag peeled off this was a nice one!! Line stopped felt two-three good head shakes and zzzzzzz a second run the line came to a stop and it was jerk ,jerk then my heart sank as the line went limp!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reeled her in bait all coiled up around the ol gamakatsu 3/0 baitshank hook. Oh buddy was I bummed . Took a couple minutes shook it off and tried the rest of the way out w/ no luck. Just gettin a chance at these brutes is awesome even if ya loose some!!!The moral to this story is, go weedless and go into the cover, 5 different baits thrown 2 fish hooked and I bet you can guess on what !!!! Oh and thank you Raincatcher I am startin to catch some fish again well sorta!!! Oh and TT ,I know where your overdue big one is hiding!!!
