Silve Lake Pig!

pitchnboy · 05-04-2008, 06:23 PM

Well lets just say the scales were tipped and records were broken. it was really tough but the fishing came through. i got my dad out on the boat and taught him the basics and he picked it up. also we both broke our records. mine was 5lbs 8oz and his was 2lbs. i pulled that fish off her bed by some old growth logs. it seems all my fish have all came off logs/wood this year. i pitched by the logs 1 time and nothing. pitched again and swam my jig about 3 times and stopped. then my line moved MAYBE 1.5 inches just enough to tell and WAM!!! and i didnt feel the bite at all. thats how finess that fish picked it up. i set into here and felt like a ripped into a log. nothing happened for about 3 seconds and then off she went and she took off and took me for a ride. and this was on my 663 (6'6'' medium action)Lamiglas. now just imagine that. thanks god for 20lbs fluoro and best of all i lipped her right at the boat. my dream to lip my biggest as i did with my other.

thanks, pitch

She looks big enough to raise my ebrow and get me maaaaaayyyyyybe thinking about finally going to Silver- catcha couple more like her and I'm there! he he.
NICE WORK BUDDY- the big fish goes to the guy with the persistence and patience.

GREEEAAT FISH! I was thinking it looked bigger than a 5lb 8oz! I guess I better get busy trying to beat my puny 6-2 from earlier this year.

pitchnboy · 05-05-2008, 02:31 PM

THANKS a lot everyone. this all keeps me going and confidence to move on and other things of such.

Bassinator: Talking about pressure, especailly Silver Lake ill tell you its got pressure but everyone catches them good. but not like that. more in the 3-4 range is normal all the time.

DJD: hey good luck and hope you get a pig man

Hunt'nfish: thanks a lot man its awesome to hear stuff like that.

thanks everyone, pitch
