Stan Wright Posted December 5, 2007 Share Posted December 5, 2007 I'm waiting for the pictures, but this story is too cool. I'll add the picture later. On Thursday the fishing action was scattered with a few small peacock and largemouth being taken from all around the lake. Most in the 1 to 2 pound size. (on Friday everything broke loose with 1 to 3 pound peacock bass schooling and taking almost any thing tossed at them) (The only real excitement came about an hour before quitting time when Chris, who was sitting on a small cooler on the bow of the boat, kind of missed when he sat down and went over backwards into the lake.) Cell phone and all. Around 4:00 PM he announced "Last Cast", time to go home. The angler and his wife both cast out their lines and..... Wham. She hooks into a 2 1/2 pound largemouth and he had a 6 1/2 pound peacock bass grab his little surface popper. I'm surprised you didn't hear them yelling. After pictures and congratulations all around they headed in. What a great way to end a day of fishing. Aloha, Stan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fish Chris Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Congrats on the great catch ! This is "exactly" why I have such a hard time getting off the water ! Because the fact is, you just never know; that "one more cast" might be the "one cast that really counts" ! How bad would it be if you had made 1000 casts in a day..... and then left.... when the 1001st cast was going to be the new World Record ! {of course one would never know.... but that's beside the point ;-)} And this, folks, is where the serious afliction, otherwise known as, the "one more cast syndrome" comes from. Of course ordinary people might chuckle, and downplay such a notion...... But those of us who are afflicted by this, know how serious this can be ! Oh well, once he's hooked, what's a guy going to do ? Fish on ! Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super User roadwarrior Posted December 10, 2007 Super User Share Posted December 10, 2007 Here's a tip: After you announce that "this will be the last cast," be quite. The fish will think you're gone! : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
