fishin with the demon

[zooker]

as darkness receeded across the sky. a shiny being came forth from the rod box. a recently molded chunk of darkness.. on this darkness i added a 4" spike grub crystal clear color to the stike king quick shirt. i had to down size the hook to a 3/0 and texas pose the hook in the grub.after some festivaties with the bossman-who happened to be on that lake - i headed up lake to a new spot i have recently located. i started using the demon getting a backlash on the 3rd cast. i moved the bait after clearing the backlash and a 2.8 pound bass hit it like a truck. after the ensuing battle he was boated, weighed, and released. as the demon has never failed so far i continued using him. i worked about 300 yards upstream when a second bass struck the demon. i worked this border line short in with out fan fair. i than ran 6 miles down stream to a section near the dam i threw the demon at a tree and the tree ate it -doh!!-after rerigging and reminding said self that it was only $4 i just lost. i continued to the next tree with a large stump in the top of it. i put the demon in tight on the stump and got a hit. up on setting the hook i at once knew this was no bass. i let him run on tight line while i loosen the drag-i had it locked down- after several mintues i saw my fish a channel cat had enguffed the bait. fighting as channels tend to do i got him next to the boat to get a good gater roll out of him.. and added him to my live well.
i went back to the same tree and picked out a small bass on the demon.. as it was blue bird days with little wind -where i was- i seen lot's of top water hits.about 10 am i grabbed my devil horse and fired at a school of bait fish popppin on top. it never get to the first pull when a bass crushed it. after a longer than usal fight i landed a 4 pound bass. which i released. i continued on my way to a patch of laydowns that was put in by a twister. i thoughly probed the depths with the demon and a white super hog. but only receiving brim hits.. it got hot 90+ air temp as i work out side i avoid heat when possible..i headed for the launch at 11:30 am i hit a hand full of trees on the way to the launch catching a keeper fish out of a tree on the demon..

here is my lil catfish




all in all a good day though i thought i heard laughter when i pitch the demon up to the barb in my fore finger....
