3 fish over 4 pounds in 3 days!

islandflyfisher · 04-03-07, 10:08 PM

5 today:
1 peaock on fly (before the rod broke)
2 peacocks on spin
2 largemouth on spin

I caught a doubleheader of decent sized 2 - 2 1/2 pound peacocks. I am trying to get the hooks out of the fish I caught on spin when I put my knee down on the fly rod. One word... "crunch". I released the fish with no pic because they were out of the water for longer than I would have liked.
I walk further down with the spinning rod, and a fish exploded a baitfish. I took a few casts and..

It weighed 4 pounds even on a 6 lb chatillon scale.

20 inches

I know I messed up the title. It should say "3 4+ pounders in 3 days".

Hey islandflyfisher,

Rig up a ice chest with Air and send us a few small peacock beauties FEDEX OVERNIGHT PRIORITY here, maybe we can get them to grow out here in texas ......

Seriously....nice fish....WTG

Thanks guys. I fell 3 ounces short of another 4 pounder today. I went to BPS and actually ended up upgrading to a better rod.

islandFF, I broke a rod this weekend so I know how you feel about your rod. Unfortunately, I did not break a rod on a fish. Instead, I stepped on it and that is all she wrote.
