The One That Got Away With My Rig

[Predator1]

Yea, thats right. While I was trolling with my Stepdad this evening, I saw the rod tip on my pole get crazy while I was throwing a crankbait at some schooling bass. Before I could grab the Rod I was trolling with the darn fish jerked it out of the Rod Holder

Thats the first time in all the years I've been fishing that that has happened. Well maybe some day someone will find a what was a nice $100.00 rig.....I even tried dragging the bottom with a rattletrap in 12' of water for an hour...to no avail did that work.

So what else...I dove in and searched that area for another half an hour..Darn fish must of dragged it out to the middle of the lake. Surprising, I could see pretty good while I was searching the bottom. Didn't see no fish while I was down there either. They probably thought I was the Big One.

Oh well.....lesson learned the hard way.

Did however talk to some folks who were catching bass in the middle of the lake on white crappie jigs.

OH YEAH, That was Fellows Lake.....Haven't been back yet. Been working too much. Did get to fish the James River this past Sunday.....Put before River Cut Subdivision and fished down to Delaware Town. Caught 5 Bass LM's on Silver and Black Tiny Torpedos.

Hope you guys stay cool out there.
