Good fishing this morning at the spot. Caught 38. Overall, quantity was better than quality, as at least 30 of them were under a pound. Still fun as hell though.

On fish #18, on what was my biggest fish of the day to that point (about 2.5 pounds), my reel snapped right off the rod in the middle of the fight. I had to pull the fish in by hand. Good thing I had a second rod with me or I would have been done right there.

This was the biggest one:

Was the reel damaged? Never seen one break like that.

Is that a Shimano Sienna reel? Dang, I'm using 3 of those. Hope mine don't snap off like that. I have two of the 1000s on two ultra-light rods, and a 2500 on my medium rod. Love the reels!

Went fishing this past Sunday at the spot. Caught 26. Most of them were of the smaller variety, but 3 or 4 were two to three pounds. I had a 3 pounder that jumped, shook his head, and threw the bait. Annoying.

However, the lowlight of the morning was what I lost. I threw my fluke out, and I see a very large wave moving towards it. This bass grabbed it and it's back came out of the water. It was at least a 5 and may have weighed as much as 8. I set the hook, and it started taking out drag, which is when you know you've got a big one.

Then the bait popped out of it's mouth.

I shouted a bunch of words to the deserted lake that would have made a sailor blush. I was very happy my mother wasn't around.

Will try and land him again this Sunday.

Throw a 12-14' live, wild river shiner in there. You'll see how big they are in that lake within about 60 seconds

Using live bait is an experiment I should try out there one of these days.

It's legal here in NC to use bluegill as bait if you catch them on a hook. I do it all the time. Works fantastic. Laws are different state to state tho so better check yours before you try it. :lol:

So when are we going fishing, Ox?
