I went out last night to a pond close to the house to try and fish for about an hour before dark.  i hit all my usual spots with only 1 missed strike to show for it.  I was about to pack it up as it was getting dark, but then i saw a topwater explosion at a spot i had already hit.  i went over to get a better vantage point, which happened to be balancing on a downed log in the lake!  it was tight quarters so i pitched my spinnerbait a couple times and about the third time felt like a locomotive was pulling my bait from me!  i set the hook (almost falling off the log) and managed to get a nice little 2-2.5#er....  I snapped a pic of the log i was balancing on as well as the fish, but the lack of light made for a terrible picture (sorry).  oh well, felt good to tighten the line last night!

 

Good to see the skunk stayed away. 

nice!   did that catch make you stay longer?  haha

funny part is i wanted to, but just felt like leaving on a high note.... so no, didn't make one more cast!  kind of like scoring a big pot at the poker table and running off with my winnings!!!

yes sir, just good to walk away on a high note.  with my usual luck, i would make another cast and snag my lure, backlash, miss a fish, just about anything that could go wrong would go wrong.....
