Fishing is tough lately. Went out wednesday morning at 5am. Caught the first fish at 4pm. A small pike and a little later a 3lb. bass. I must be crazy to be still out on the lake I thought to myself.....

At around 6pm I was just about to give up. I skipped a Javallon 160 under a dock (like I have done for hours) and got hit. I'm glad I stayed on the lake!

Nice one, that is the way to stick with it, it pays off sometimes.

Awesome job T.

WOW!

Nice pic, too!

;D ;D ;D

Great fish and way to stick with it. How much did it weigh?

keep up the good work man!!!!!!

i love seeing all the great fish from your part of the world.

Good fish Daniel!

T-Rig, you da man! 8-)

Thanks guys!

Rolo, I wish we had DD's around here.

I didn't weigh the fish, my guess is around 6.5lbs.

As for the rod. It's a cheap but very well made Daiwa Crossbeat (2 piece) 662MRB.

Nice fish.... chunky all the way to the end. Did the fish hit it on the fall or the retrieve?

Ray, on the fall.
