Thanks guys! Wasn’t suppose to happen. I got cancelled from work Friday morning. So I called up MikeW to see if I could hop in with him. We didn’t have a lot of fish that day. Bladebaits and ringworms pitching wingdams brought in 4 or 5 fish.
The 29″ came on the ringworm (Yes John that is a ringie hanging from its mouth) and I thought I had a catfish on at first because it just took off and almost spooled me. And it wasn’t doing the rod pumps like I anticipated. We didn’t get a weight on it; but since no-one can prove otherwise I’m calling it my first 10 lber I figure a 29″ fish this time of year has got to be darn close to 10 lbs or more. Big thanks to Mike for taking me out and putting me on the fish!
