justing66 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Geoff, I bet you were PISSED when that thing bit and you netted a trout. Still the winner of the tourney in my eyes lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyforfish21 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Geoff, I bet you were PISSED when that thing bit and you netted a trout. Still the winner of the tourney in my eyes lol Would have been if it bit out deep. I saw a big shadow, pitched and as soon as the bait hit the water, i said aloud "is that trout?" As i finished my words, the bait swam down in front of the trout, it swam down and smacked it against the wall i was fishing, leaned back and Ben netted it. We both laughed for a few minutes. I'll never forget that bite! Hook went popped off the top of the rising son and went through the gills and back out, hooking on the outside of the gill plate. Must of been hungry! Thanks guys!

Londonmitch Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 We were down the shore and saw the splash that thing made and thought you had the tourney won. Maybe next time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
