SeanM Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Caught this fish after a full morning of watching followers. Tons of interest but no bites. The anticipation of a fish finally commiting did a number on my adrenaline level. By the time she was in the net, I was shaking. Thought this video was going to look alot goofier! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RrJTayt ... e=youtu.be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Top Ramen Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I kept waiting for her to summersault out of that fish trampoline you use for a landing net! Sounds like a fun day, Sean. Congratulations on the nice fish. You should also post up the dink that at it on the way back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanM Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I was having the same trouble, that's why I linked it that way I kept waiting for her to summersault out of that fish trampoline you use for a landing net! Dude, no kidding, I need to do some shopping around. I think I already erased the vid with the little guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flaswimbaiter Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nice fish. Did it come unhooked in the net? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeanM Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nice fish. Did it come unhooked in the net? She did. David's right, I need to shop for a deeper net. One more athletic flop and she'd be prematurely free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Top Ramen Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Sean you been crushing them at that bridge great fish ! That particular spot is my personal favorite. I was giving Sean a hard time this afternoon because I think I had that same fish follow my Hudd out twice the other day. But, I had my chance to hook her and didn't; he did. Watching the video, I think it was that he cast right next to where she hangs out and got a quick reaction strike. I was casting way past the piling to run my bait by it. Still getting used to the fact that the really big girls often see a splash as the dinner bell. Definitely seems like the pre-spawn chew is starting.

Spectrum Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Nice fish man. I don't know about those Ego nets, but if you can disassemble the hoop and like everything else about the net, might just look into buying a different bag from like Beckman or Frabill.

SeanM Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks y'all. That was one of the more gratifying catches in memory. Nice fish man. I don't know about those Ego nets, but if you can disassemble the hoop and like everything else about the net, might just look into buying a different bag from like Beckman or Frabill. That's a good point, I'll look into it. I like everything else about the net, but the bag depth sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeanM Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Nice fish and footage Sean.Congrats.Was it on a tuned 250 Deps Slide Swimmer? Thanks DSouth. No, it was the stock model. I'm actually very pleased with how it swims. However, after talking to some guys about the differences in tuning, I pulled the trigger on a BB tuned one. Looking forward to getting it in the water Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
