First Decent Outing In A While

Featured Replies

ive been dying to get out fishing for more than an hour for a couple months now...and i finally did before work today lol. went to the usual spot and cast my fluke jr to a pair of peacock bass for a bit untill they had enough and swam off.

so i decided to try for the LM. i rigged up a roboworm straight tail on a 1/0 ewg with a 1/16oz weight and cast it just past the drop off. i missed a bite on the fall so i recast. something hit it again , but i did a he-man hook set and broke the line at the hook (bad knot). so , of course i quickly retied and rigged up the same thing i was throwing....i got a bite and set the hook. as im bringing up this fish form the deep , i was expecting a smaller fish the way it was lazily fighting... that is until he realized what was going on. then he took off! we went back and fourth for 20 seconds or so with a few very nice jumps. i ended up getting my feet wet cause the water was so low i didnt want to drag him across the shallow water thats riddled with rock. i lipped him and snaped this pic..

Thanks. Yeah , it was on the Fenwick with a saros 1000. I love the set up. The baby is doing great thanks for asking. I've been so busy with work and her I have no time to fish or forum posting. I'll post a pic another time
