Allright kinda a long story but i'll try and keep it short. So I got off work a little early today and decided i'd try and go pick up a steelie or two on the clack. I spent sunday doing my level best to tie up a spinner on my own that would actually catch some fish. I started twisting them up about 3 weeks ago but had yet to make something fish would actually hit. It's always been my dream to build a spinner and catch a fish on it but until I met Osmosis, Kodiak and Bill my spinner abilities were pretty bad. After my sucess with TCO's I kinda became obsessed with building one on my own( with a lot of help). Last week my gear got grabbed by 2 steelies and a few trout on but nothin but trout came to the bank. So I decided i'd sit down and build a sure fire winner last night. So back to the fishing. It was hot, I was sweating horribly and the fish just didn't seem to wan't to play this afternoon. After about 2 hours I finally got a break and a summer grabbed my
spinner. Midway through my usual " please don't come off, please don't come off" prayer I feel slack and reel up to find nothing there. Now i'm super pi***d and feel like my head was gonna explode
, so I decided to change location and head to my honey hole and see if anyone wanted to play. On my third cast my spinner gets hit, and I think right on another steelie, oh how wrong I was. I wen't from thinkin I was gonna play around with a summer to literally brawling with a freight train. I had just hooked into a monster nate nook and he was ready to fight. It took over 45 minutes and over 20 full force runs but he finally came to the bank, just before my arm totally gave out. By my rough mesurments he was around 40 inches and weighted dang near 30lbs. This was my first nook to the bank this year and on my own spinner to boot:dance:. Btw check out that spinner, he totally wrecked it:lol:.
