10/20/17 Night

[Ozarks Chillbilly]

Headed down to the dam around 8PM. Slight wind and a handful of cars in the lot, nothing out of the ordinary for a Friday night. Fished leech patterns exclusively, and it turned out to be a very interesting night!!

 

1. Fishing a size 6 black leech I caught this ultra BIZARRE MUTANT fish.. Aside from it's looks it seems quite healthy and swam pretty similar to any other. Caught a couple others.

2. Switched up to another size 6 leech, this one in brown. Caught a few rainbows and then to my surprise a (white?) bass! Terrible pictures I know.

 

 

3. To conclude the night I hooked up with what seemed to be a brick. Got it in my net and was wide-eyes to say the least. Hooked smack-dab in the middle upper lip.  I was too focused on keeping the fish in the water and released and really didn't get any good pictures. The fish swam away on its own accord which was good to see. Was my personal best - topping the one I caught last week by quite some weight.
