I didn't get to fish today but I'll get out there eventually.   What's our deadline? (I forgot and can't find the thread where you listed it)

I fished all day last Tuesday in the sleet and rain, caught 30+ shorts.....and never touched a single keeper.   So there's that.   

Hopefully I can stay more focused, and make better choices if I'm not wet, freezing cold, and on the verge of a nicotine fit. 😅

Gotcha, thanks.  

I guess I'm not going to make it out.😔 

I had an opportunity this afternoon but the desire to just sit on the porch and listen to the leaves rustling in the breeze was just too much to ignore.   I accomplished NOTHING today.....but dang it felt good.    

Looking forward to congratulating the winner.  😊👍

So, I  remembered to bring the ruler today.  I didn't have nearly the same luck as Friday night.   I did catch a few, but not nearly as quickly .   

Now, for the 2 that got away.  I have a certain kind of spot to look for and cast to.  Thanks to @Smalliebigs.  I knew of the spot, I found a fish near there Friday.   I was trying to get the perfect cast, as @Al Agnew has mentioned, you have to get within a basketball hoop area.  I got the cast, the water was slowly swirling against the current.   I knew if there was a fish in this spot, this cast was gonna bring it out.  It did.  Funny how you think of the people who have given you clues and you get the opportunity to make it whole.  Thank you all.  I seen the fish come at my topwater, Torpedo, surprised?   I got the hookset.  While bringing it in, it spit the hook.  Man! I knew this would be a contender.  Might not win, but it would give someone a little competition.  I tried for longer than I should have for another chance.  Never happened.  The casting was great, the fish was shy.  I moved onto another spot.  This spot is highly pressured.  I had a few followers, once a group of smaller bass.  I decided to switch up to a jerk bait.  I chose white. Two casts, not where I wanted them.  It was on!  Man, I knew it was on.  I seen the fish.  It was huge.  I was excited, I was scared to lose it.  This was the biggest bass I have seen in person.  No exaggeration.  I was so excited.   I was bringing it up to the bank, it still had a lot of fight left.  I could not believe it,  I was going to land this.  Then, I watched it, as it got off of the hook.   I watched it slowly yet quickly leave.  I was shocked, excited, and disappointed all together.   I'm satisfied, as I got to see it, dark lines, fat and tall.  Great fish.  Great day.  I know, it's just a fishing story, but this one is mine.  ....and completely true.
