The heat finally started to break, and I got a bonus day off after this past long weekend so on Tuesday I thought I would try my luck on Rice Lake again. So for this year its been my worst season. Ive been stuck in a .5 to 1.5lbs range. I always catch fish when I go to Rice, but I just couldnt find the big boys this year. Well that changed on Tuesday. Me and a buddy hit the water at 9am, and stayed till about 6pm. I think we got about 12 between us, nothing smaller then 1.5lbs which was awesome!
I got my personal record even tho my scale doesnt agree. My previous record was a 4lb smallie, this one came in at 3.5lbs which I still dont believe because it was such a large size and it did have a decent gut on it. Anyways it sucked up the bait without any bite, my line just started swimming away so I reeld in the slack and cranked her up and boom, it was on. I was really lucky too because my friend lost his rod so I let me borrow my spinning rod that I would normally be using, I used my baitcaster that had heavy braid on it, thought I could get a hog on a jig but just couldnt get anything to bite the whole jig, they just kept ripping the claws off the plastic rage claw!!! I thought let me just see if I could flip a wacky rig senko on this and next thing you know I got this guy trying to pull me overboard.
3 days later and Im still buzzing over it when I think about it! Gotta love fishing right!
**** For the record this guy torn my thumb to pieces, so I put the glove on hahahaha****
