Evan710 Posted May 27, 2018 Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 I Just started HVAC class last week so I haven't been able to fish after work. Went out yesterday to fish the lake for a couple hours before I had to meet my buddy a block away. Started with a dowz and a cheap gill since they are spawning hard right now. The lake is starting to get filled with slime and I could feel the dowz foul up a few cranks into each retrieve so I decided to tie on my 316 8" fs shad on for the first time(was also overcast and about to rain). Started in one corner I missed a pig and keep getting followers in but was mainly fishing the gill while only throwing the 316 2 times. I moved down the bank and made a couple more casts with the 316 at some brush piles near shore. Then I made it down to the back corner. I made one long cast across with nothing so I pitched it about 20 feet out into the shallows. I changed up the speed and was slow rolling it past a branch and she hit it like a mack truck. I buried the tip and horsed her in. I called my other buddy that lives near by to see if he could bring a scale and he was 20 seconds away without one. I saw some people fishing the other side so I ran across to see if they had one and it was the one pictured... not the best not the worst. Scale was reading 5 and a half to 3/4 . My buddy likes to take pics while you're talking instead of smiling. oh da shiz, carlsbadbassin89, Kentsmith420 and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan710 Posted May 27, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2018 She also pinned herself so well and weird that I had to widen the hook hole a little to get it out. Same hole the scale is going through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
