Went out Sunday to fish; it's been a long dreadful winter for me. Anyways I had a new spinning reel and hooked into a great fish. Since the reel was new I had the drag pretty lose. Long story short hook into a big smallie zzzzziiiiiiippppppp she's gone. I was heart broken. Not only did I lose a great fish it would have been my first of 2013. I was depressed.

Went back today made sure the drag was nice and tight and here are the results. First fish of 2013.

I'm pretty sure this is the one that got away yesterday. No such luck today haha.

The rest.

All caught on a white/chartreuse super fluke. Man it feels good to be back. Tight lines!!!

Nice looking smallies good start to the 2013 season

Good stuff! Some nice smallies there.

Very nice.  That first one is a bit of a toad, isn't she?  Did you get a weight on her?
