Been a pretty mild winter here in WA so Ive been having success on conventional stuff since January, but hadn't picked up the big stuff yet until the other day(friday). I had just gotten a new FR 806 in the mail earlier in the week so I wanted to get out and see how it handles my 8.5s and an 8inch hudd, so off to a shallow local lake to see how it does. With the water temps somewhere in the low to mid forties I wasn't expecting anything to happen, but the sun came out when I got on the lake and a light breeze teased the surface so I had a good feeling. After making a few casts with the other two baits I had brought I decided it was time try the soft tail 8.5 since it is more responsive to a slow retrieve and has a bit slower rof. I fished it for about an hour working it past the ends of docks and over grass then I made a cast parallel to the edge of some flooded reeds and felt the bait stick to something. I was caught off guard so I hesitated on setting the hook, but when I finally did the rod loaded and and she was there still. Gave up pretty quickly, but I grinded her in anyway. She only went 4.11 but for my first big bait fish of the year and first fish on that rod I was stoked. Yet alone the water being pretty frigid still. Ended up having another one follow it in on a "bad cast" that was a bit bigger, but by the time I realized she was there I spooked her. Came back a half hour later and drew her again, but she wasn't showing the same signs of aggression and was reluctant to close in. Nothing else, but left the lake satisfied!
