I have to write a blog about this one.
I was actualy out to buy moldings for my foyer floor, and told my wife I would be fishing here and there in between.
One stop was ye-olde lake dam. I fished all of my old faithfuls. The senko. The jerk (no offense Mary Beth). The creature.
I decided to try a small tube with a little bullet weight for good measure.
Second cast:
Bam! She didn't hit hard, but put up a great fight. I thought for sure I was going to break off at least a few times. I was shaking when I saw the water part as she crested once, then twice. I was surprised to be the recipient of good fortune as I landed her and got a lip under my thumb.
6lb test was enough for all 2lbs of this girl. I enjoyed it. No fight as I took a few photos as a parting gift.
I use my shoe as a unit of measure in many of my fish pictures. But she let me take this one and a few others before gentely swimming off, back into the lake where she belongs.
