Sunday Night Report (big Fish Bite)

[Scudman]

My dad came down over the weekend so we headed down for some night fishing.... Got down just after dark, he doesn't fish much so took a couple of spinning rods 6Lb test, some cd-9 rapalas and some black mepps spinners. Started off up by cable picked up 4 rainbows around 14-15 in right off the bat on the mepps. as we worked down made a cast right up against bank and wham, a fish slammed the spinner headed upstream tearing off around 50 yards of line in a blink. Soon after turned down stream and away we went. My dad and I ran into another gentleman wading and he went to the truck to get a bigger net, this fish was big real big! I chased it to just above outlet two when the water got to deep to go any further. Tried to make a stand, by this time the fish had nearly spooled my reel.... tightened down drag and bam he came off. Still not sure how big it was or even what it was, one thing was for sure I have never had a fish spool over a hundred yards of line so fast and i can tell you this, I at no point even slowed him down. The current was really strong 4 generators of course so that didn't help. Moral of the story... he's still out there boys!!!!!

Oh ya a special thanks goes out the helpful fellow night fisherman that went for the net, he worked the bank with me all the way to outlet two before we lost the fish.. I always meet great people down on the bank, I hope I can return the favor sometime.

Tight lines........
