Several weeks ago I recieved a new pole and reel but haven't been able to get out and use it. It's been burning a hole in my mind by not being able to go out and use it. Family, life, weather, migraines, life, migraines, the list goes on and on.
Yesterday I said enough was enough. Full moon, wind, noone to go with, been awake for two days I don't care I'm going fishing with my new pole! And I did!
Off to Jordanelle I went and what a day I had. Started out catching a chub on my third cast. Nothing great but hey it's a fish and now it's bait in the freezer. Three chubs later it catches a 11inch perch followed by a 15inch rainbow trout and a 12inch smallmouth bass, not the one in the pic.
By the end of the morning nothing to brag and mount on the wall but the pole had caught over two hundred fish. I learned you can actually dull a TubeDude jig hook through use.[shocked] I think I'll keep the pole.
The last pic is what a four inch perch left me for letting him go.
