2833-34497 Posted November 17, 2013 Report Share Posted November 17, 2013 Well finally got some fish again plus it earns me a couple of tickets for the giveaway. Now a few days left to try to get the size upgrade!!! Started the day on a small lake on a cold and windy morning and thought I’d start with a 6†Injected Lunker Punker!!! My 1st fish was a 2.12 lb. so I continued with the punker and get a 1.71 fish and I think dam this thing weights light, but don’t care because I knew it was under the 5 lbs. for the 2 tickets. I continue fishing and had another small ~2 lb. and a fish come up and miss all still on the punker. I move to a different spot and continue and the punker bite died so I pull out the 6†Weedless Hudd! I just got the Hudd this week on Tuesday and had 7 hookups with none landed, but I had confidence the LM liked it there! Shortly after a light tail grab and another fish boiling on the Hudd at the weed line I hook into a fish and think to myself please don’t get off. Finally I land my 1st fish on a Hudd and it was a nice solid hook set that wasn't coming out. This fish look I thought as maybe having a chance at being close to the 5 lb. so I measure it and scale says 1.98 and I’m thinking this fish isn't less than 2 lbs. I turn it off and on, and clear it, and still it reads either 1.98 or 1.99. I think to myself I’m taking this blank tidy blank scale back since I only bought it right before the giveaway contest. I hurry to take a picture and get the fish back into the water and figure oh well fish is more important anyways!! After letting the fish go I start looking at the scale more and realize that between the 1st small 2.12 lb. fish I catch in the hurry to take pictures etc. I hit something and everything from then on was in Kg units. I totally had forgotten about that feature and though I was stuck in hold or just reading wrong. Boy did I feel stupid, anyway live and learn!! It was a fun day catching until the wind got so bad I could no longer feel anything with the belly in the line fishing from the bank, so I called it quits for the day!!

Yeah they seem to really like the Hudd and it works good in all that slop!! Still pick up weeds ~50% of the time, but when you hit the weeds and it pulls through clean, boy they hit it!! btw that punker looks sweet --really like those colors-- i might have to find one like it--- Bluegill color works good in my area in everything you want to throw!!!
