Low quantity..high quality

Made the first cast this morning 30 min before official sunrise. 1/8 oz SK Bitsy Bug out past a gnarly tackle eating brushpile in 18-20 ft of water. Steady light rain falling, zero wind. Set the rod down as soon as the jig hit the water (rarely get a deadstick hit on a jig

)turn around, stand up, unzip to make water and as soon as the flow begins I see my rod heading for the gunwale with a quickness

. What you gonna do? lose a $300+ rig? or make the frantic cat-like lunge? I of course picked the latter and managed to grab the handle at the last sec all the while peeing all over myself, the boat and all my tackle. Result? a solid 4+ lber that set the tone for the rest of the morning. Only caught 15-20 but not a dink in the bunch. The first two pics are of the deadstick jig fish, (that's not all rain on the Lowrance

) the other one is just a typical fish for this lake and today. Most fish came on either a buzz or spinner.Water temps steady at 74. Stayed cloudy/drizzly all morning! I love mornings like that, seems to make dawn last and last.

alright!!! good job!!!

Ken, I'm glad for you that your deadstick incident worked out in your favor and you had a successful day of fishing.

I got to say though, if peeing on yourself was the worst thing that happened, you must be living right. Because as you well know, the outcome could have been a whole heck of a lot more, not in your favor.

Hahahaha, sounds like you had too many rods out at one time.

Nice day of fishing! I would pee on myself too to keep a Cumulus and CI4 from going overboard. I realize you probably weren't using a spinning rod with a jig but still...

Bassin' Gal · 10-07-12, 09:13 PM

That is just too funny. Thanks for the laugh. Sounds like you had a good day after that unfortunate beginning!

Good eye. I keep that outfit on deck most days...always fun to fight a good fish on 6 lb test! The jig rig was an E7 and a Falcon Cara MG.

Today was what I call a revenge trip. I doubt I'm the only one that puts all fishing trips in one of three columns.
Recon....exploring new water

Revenge...going back to a lake to exact vengence for a bad day

Encore.....going back to a lake to repeat the glory

I hate it when I try to raise the water level and something goes wrong!!..haha...Nice story Kenneth and nice fish to boot!!

Too funny Jrob. Sounds like you had a little wet day ken.

joedog · 10-10-12, 07:18 AM

Fish looks 'pissed off' not 'pissed on'!

Man it was nice NOT hearing about someone else loosing a rig!

keithdog · 10-10-12, 07:45 AM

Thats a good day of fishin for sure! But the best part was not loosing your outfit. That seems to be an issue a lot around here the past year! Dead sticking a jig? Gonna have to try that. Maybe you discovered something. lol My younger brither once caught a fish on a jig that was used suspended deadsticking with a bobber.
