Got home from work and needed to rest my back. What better way to rest it than in the cab of the truck while trout fishing?
Spot one where I got the trout, I had two really good hits. The first one was on Powerbait and I could tell it was a nice trout. It hit the surface, thrashed for a split second and just wasn't there anymore... Jeez... WTF?
These two honkers had me pinned in the truck begging for food. the only thing I had was Tic-Tacs, but they weren't interested.
One more hit and I watched the fish indicator drop, but when I grabbed the rod, no one was home....
I had an hour left before I had to head back home and decided to try another lake. I get there and after casting out the freshly inflated nightcrawlers, I saw two honkers running down the parking lot at me! I must apparently look like someone that feeds them a lot because they sure acted like they know me.
I just started to recline the seat when I saw the bobber drop and made a dash to the rod! It felt like a really nice one and this time I was armed with 4# test! lol
This was definitely the biggest fish this particular rod ever caught and I was happy to fight it. Damn these cats have just been slugs here as of late.
It had a funny shaped head and looked like it was in these ponds for a bit, so I let him go to grow and get uglier.
That was it. I'm liking this quick fishing after work and only having to drive a half mile to get home. lol
Thanks for reading!
