ok, a little preface.

Fri Night, I had Brian Atkins flying in from Bama for the CAST event.   Brian is running an event next year and wanted to come see one first hand.  GREAT guy.

Well, his plane was delayed, landed about midnight.  We got to my place and chatted a while, excited for the next day and I said "we gotta crash bud, long day tomorrow."  So Brian was asleep in 5 minutes.

Then the snoring began......lol

I thought he was trying to suck my cat through his left nostril. :

Knowing the day he had been through, I couldn't bring myself to wake him and I knew he would probably just start up again in a few minutes even if I did so....

I went down and crashed in my car.  Well,...tried,lol.

So here we are, CAST day, all nighter.  Got back ,..all said and done by 10 ish last night, slept for 2 hrs and hit the lake.

Slow bite as first but as it got a bit lighter, the bite lit up.

My first fish, about 3.25 lbs, was on the jitterbug.  I had a huge excalibur super spook tied on another rod.  When I turned on the camera and walked to the front, I tripped on that rod and the spook shot up between my legs and wrapped around to the outside and back of my thigh.

ALL I COULD THINK OF WAS MUDDY AT FORK WITH THE RAPALA BURIED IN HIS CALF!!!

Funny stuff, here is a short vid clip.  The pic is of a 5.6lbr that came about 20-25 mins later on said "spook".

AM I HERE TO AMUSE YOU ;D ;D :o

Funny stuff.  Good thinking cutting your line.  I probably would of jammed the hook in my leg, or got treble hooks all in my hands b4 I thought of that.

C'mon man, I was wrapped in 20 lb mono with an excalibur on the other end, stuck in my hamstring,..... still made the fish the priority.  Released immediately
