Had to make a trip to ikea this morning. They dont open until 10 so i left early and spent some time at a spot i found on google earth. After about 20 mins i saw some minnows get torn up on the other side of the canal. So i tossed my fluke on the other bank and crawled it in and bam! I set the hook and thought i fouled hooked the fish because i could barely move him. This big boy showed his face with the fluke right in the corner of his mouth. That made my day and week! Idk the weight but im guessing around 4.5lbs or so.

Yea! Google Earth.

Nice fish its always a good feeling when you set the hook and they dont budge.

I have found a couple of ponds I never know about on google earth. My son caught a 9# in a little pond he found on google earth.

Google Earth + Remote Pond + Lunker = good times.

Nice fish.....

I've used Google earth to find new water before. My new car came equipped with a Navigational system, the map is always on, I have found places just driving around that I never knew existed.

There is always something to be said for exploration, new waters always bring new challanges, awesome job putting things together and coming out with a really good result !!!

Nice fish and congrats !!!

Thanx for sharing the story and the pic.

Good luck and be safe !!!

Great job, nice fish!

Nice fish!!
