Went out today to local lake around 630pm thought I would just go for an hour. I threw some rapalas(char/blue, black/org and silver), zara spook, and a char/black spinner with no bites. Brought a dozen crawlers along for catfish or whatever else might bite for the slip bobber rig with a bigger hook-to keep away the bluegill.
Tossed out my LIGHT ACTION ROD-SINCE IT HAD A SLIP BOBBER ALREADY SET-THIS IS IMPORTANT AS YOU WILL SEE... :shock: and got 3 nice fat bluegills right after each other, while still trying to throw a top water. Then got three bass, biggest one around 13 inches and two smaller ones off the nightcrawler. So I throw out another worm and within a few minutes I see the bobber go down and pick up the rod and my drag starts singing like I never heard before! I set the hook and this thing takes off and get two cranks and he is off. I look at the hook and it was bent like hell.... Whatever it was, it was huge in my estimate had to be at least 3 to 4 lbs.... So I finally left at about 9 and no luck hooking back into it....
But it was a good night for just going out to get away from the wife...
Lesson learned 2nite--- A BIG ROD DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE :lol:
