so me and the wife got in to it and she locked her self in the room for some reason lol so i took the nephew fishing down at the train trussel to get in to some Warmouth for the freezer.
Well its was a little after 2 so i t was the hottest of the day i said to my self i bet them Swamp donkeys are hungry, so i grabbed my Phlueger and promax and him the RedRhino and the crickets and we struck out walkin down the road.
After a short very hot walk we got set up it was his first trussel so he was a little scared hes only 9, so after getting him set up and casted out by a stump that usually holds a warmouth or 2.
Then i pick up my Phlueger that has a White Hildebrandt Snaggless Sally on my second cast to the beaver **** i see the tale tale wake of a monster Bow and BAM!!! it was Freakin huge his head was as big as a Softball but he just hit at it no hook set so i switch back to the other side.
i start throwin down the back with a medium retrieve and i hear Will say UH OH! i say what he said im bout to get a bite i was how u know and he said i Got him and i walk down after seeing his rod bent over from something heavy its a Big COOTER lol that thing had to way 10 lbs he was so excited lol, so i broke the line and got him under way again and started throwing again.
So on about the 3rd cast i see the wake and feel him and one hard side swipe and Fish on!! after the bowfin death roll/jumpin fits i get him up on the bank and have him in my hands he was a thick little bugger weighed about 5lbs and went 20 in!! first Fin of the year and he was a ball!!
I hear Will again holler i got em!! hes got another turtle lol so hes havin fun catchin the locals lol and i start throwin down the center and i see another BIG wake and slow the retrieve and BAM he hits like a freight train after a 5 min fight i get him up and get him weighed and measured he went 9lbs and 28inchs!!! a true monster!!!!
Well after Will was done playin with turtles i told him wed go to the pond for a few before the storms hit so i made a few more cast and low and behold i throw back down the cent and i never seen this one coming he came from the DEPTHS OF THE SWAMP!!!! he was the biggest bowfin i have ever seen i set the hook and he jerks me forward and i hang on this thing had to be 15 16lbs and 40 some inches it s was HUGE!!! he was pulling drag and runnin like crazy i seen him one last time when he did a tail dance on the water and BROKE MY DERN ROD!!!!!!! when he hit the water and made one final run. and broke my line i was sooooooo mad i had a citation and he got away i have a goal now for the rest of the summer!!
Packed up and left from there and went to the pond and will ended up catchin a 3lbs bass!! on a Havoc Grass Pig (great baits if u havnt tryed them)
