Well, that was interesting...
"Shortwave Sportfishing" wrote in message ... Had a first today. Took a client out on a guided trip to Webster Lake for smallmouth and largemouth bass. As the morning progressed, we had done ok, nothing spectacular, but just before we headed in, I set him up with a spinning reel and a small 1/2 ounce Kastmaster to hit a spot that usually produces late in the day. He managed to chuck the thing into the overhanging trees and wouldn't you know it - a really nice sized largemouth came out of the water and grabbed onto the lure just as he was pulling it out of the water. 4 lbs of largemouth hanging off the Kastmaster about a foot in the air. I laughed so hard I almost fell out of the boat. He managed to get free before I could get the camera - that would have been a good one. About 50 yrs ago, I took a friend of my Dad's fishing for Bass. He baited up and then was sitting in the boat telling me a story before casting. His rod was over his shoulder with the worm a few inches off the water. I thought he was going to have a heart attack when a Bass jumped up and took his bait. He didn't see it coming. He and my Dad did a lot of hunting and fishing together in the 30's and 40's. I used to love to sit and listen to them tell stories of their experiences. Made me sad that I didn't come along until '42 and missed out on all of that. Tom G. |
