First Smallie Of The Year!
went out for an hour after class to kill sometime and relax after a brutal test in physics i need to get away. i was fishing the first beach for about a half hour and didnt get a bump. so i left and went to another beach that was on the wind blow shore but the wind wasnt to bad so i decided to give it a shot first cast i felt a tap tap and set the hook but i ripped it out of its mouth and lost my worm in the process! but i put another one on and through it back out three casts later i felt another tap tap.. so this time i dropped my rod tip and when i set the hook again this time i felt the connection and it was fish on!! i brought the fish in, it was a small bass that weighed about a pound. i quickly let the fish go an put it back right in the same spot and sure enough another bump but did not hook up this went on for another 3 or 4 casts and then on the 5 time i set the hook an then the line goes limp..... just lost my whole rig =/ so im just about to call it a day but decided to tie up another drop shot. this time i left a longer leader and next cast i feel something kill my robo worm i set the hook and the fish takes off straight up and goes air born!! SMALL MOUTH!!! i could tell that body shape and that aggression from anywhere so i took my time bringing her. the fish had awesome markings!! I finally got smallie after a 2 week grind!! snapped u couple pics and sent her on her way!!
