The weekend was not bad weather wise, it rained on and off, some thunder and lightning accompained with sunny breaks and warm spells. Friday night my neighbour Mark and I decided to cast off of my dock using various methods. I went to my trusty Arbogast Jitterbug in the Frog/White Belly colour and Mark was changing lures so fast I wasn't sure what he had on. After about 30 minutes or see, I hear a small bubble sound and I immediately realize there is something decent on so i set the hook and the battle ensued. The noise was hard to describe, almost like the fish is inhaling the lure and water at the same time. So I reel in and once again it was pitch black and I hollered at Mark to grab the net. The battle was over pretty quick and I was able to hoist the beast on 30# PP up onto the dock. I could see exactly how big it was and thought it was going to be close to the 21" beast I caught a few weeks ago. Having Mark there was a definate help as we got the weight and measurement very quickly and he snapped 2 decent shots that I was able to trim right on the camera for a closer shot.
After all was said and down this monster Smallie measured 19" and weighed exactly 4 lbs on the nose. I can't believe this isn't my PB.......... :lol: for most people it might have been. She was released right away.
