We hit up a spot that Eric H told Ray about.
Ray and I were hoping to catch some good sized kitties tonight.
We set up our light gear and patiently waited.
About 40min or so into it my rod gets bit, I set the hook and bring up a nice bluegill (I've never caught one this big before)
After releasing it, we rebaited and castesd out again.
Ray was casting to the left, and I was casting to the right.
He recommended I cast towards the left as well, but I figured I'd stay in my spot.
About an hour or so after the little bluegill, my rod goes bendo! 🎣
I set the hook and bring it in.
It was a good sized kitty.
At this point I had already missed 2 bites. I was happy to bring this one in.
At this point, Ray was getting agitated. Then Bam! He gets a good run.
He tried setting the hook but the kitty let go.
He was furious 😤
It was already getting late, I wanted to pack up but Ray wanted redemption.
I told him I already got my cat and I was good to go
(it was cold and windy)
Next thing you know my rod goes off!
Another cat!
This one put up a good fight 🎣
She had a belly and was bigger than my first kitty.
I was beyond happy.
(Of course watching Ray get mad made me even happier)
Ray was happy I caught fish, but his competitiveness shined right thru him.
And that's how we ended the night.
3-0
Better luck next time Ray!! 🎣😬
