We had a great afternoon on the water....

[66KingFisher]

I Had a great fishin trip with my buddy Ron this afternoon....We drove down south a little ways to fish a lake we are not familier with, and from our first cast we were catchin bass and we just killed them for the next couple of hours....and all the time,we were just rock throwin distance from the boat ramp where we launched from.......What a blast.

As things died down, I could see something busting the topwater across the lake so we ventured over there to find some monsters feeding at the surface.....I thought at first it must be stripers, then I hooked into one, and I still thought it was a striper till I finally got it to the boat, only to find out it was giant sized Gar.....Hahahaha.....And the one on my line was over 4ft long.....Ron managed to get it into the net....sort of....it was waaay bigger then the net....hahaha.....Once on the boat we managed to retreive my KVD crankbait which was all I wanted anyway, and then we tried to weigh the Gar, but he wasn't cooperating and managed his way back into the water......We are guessing he weighed somewhere between 25-30 lbs. Not a bad catch for a med weight spinning rod and 12 lb line.....hahaha....WHAT FUN!!!!!.

Sorry no pics this trip....My camera batteries were dead as a doornail so I didn't take it this time....I promise to have fresh batteries from now on....lol
