Hammond Lake, PA another day at the mud hole

6/17/07 and bass season is finally here. The first tournament of the season is at Hammond Lake, an Army COE lake located in Tioga County, PA. It's unfortunate that when they made these lakes they only thought of flood control and didn't think of the recreational opportunity that would present itself for years to come. This lake is as boring to look at as a grass-growing festival, and nearly as boring to fish. I could go on to detail my every move on this water, but suffice it to say I didn't weigh a fish, my partner weighed one that barely made the legal limit and only 2 limits were caught in a field of 30 anglers. My lone bit of excitement/frustration came after over 4 hours of fishing I finally hooked a bass on a spinnerbait. It ran right toward the boat so I didn't think it was very big and by the time I saw it and called for the net, it was off the hook. This largemouth could have pushed for the lunker prize but I will never know
