First Good Largy Of '09
Today was only the second time I've been able to go fishing since I got back from New York. My dad and I got to the lake at about 7:30. We start the day off by missing three top water bites right off the bat. One of which was a big fish, probably around five or six pounds. We continue to fish and we catch a few three pounders. A little bit later, my dad gets bit and fights a big fish for a couple seconds, but he never got the hook in her. He looses her. So at this point, my dad and I are both mad because we've both lost big fish so far. We continue to fish and we don't get anything for a while. We go back to the place where my dad lost the big fish and I throw my bait over the top of it a couple of times. On my third cast to the cover, I hook into a pig. I fight her for a little bit, then get her in the boat. We put her on the scale, 7 lbs 9 oz. We take a few pictures of her and let her go. We fish for another half hour or so and I hook into another good fish. We get her to the boat and put her on the scale, she's 5 pounds. We fish for another hour or two, then decide to leave. It was a pretty good day on the water today.

I'll bet your dad is getting tired of you pounding him like that.

Re: First Good Largy Of '09
Very nice fish!
Is it just me or does that 5er look like it has been fanning a bed? I caught a good fish a few years ago in July and it looked like if had been fanning a bed. Is it normal for big fish to spawn this late or are they spawning a second time?
Thanks,
Mike

Re: First Good Largy Of '09
Nate, When you catch a big fish always remember to look at your dad and say "Thanks dad I love you" Vinny is a super dad and a great fisherman.

Actually why not just same time and have Nick attach a radio tag to the fish so that it will save time once you get to the lake.
