Thread: Almost caught a dream

I went Saturday night and the bite was slow to say the least. I almost changed location but my experience told me to stay put as the ff was showing plenty of nice fish. Finally got the first bite and landed a 2 lb 1oz slab this went on for a few hours with just the occasional catch. Right after catching a couple at the same time a rod doubled over, I assumed it was a bass by the pull. After about 3 minutes of just keeping the line tight the fish decided that it wanted to see who was on the other end of the line and jumped out of the water. I have no doubt after the 3rd jump that I had hooked my dream of a 3 pounder comparing it to the 3 2+ pounders that I had already caught. On the 4th jump he threw the hook at me and once again my dream was shattered. At least I got the pleasure of seeing a slab that big and just gives me more drive to try again. I ended up keeping 15 fish with 4 of them 2lbs or better. Sorry for the picture with me, I try to just post fish pictures to keep from scaring anyone.

Rob, I'm hoping will bring you a long handled net, so that next time you hang into one of those 3lb dream fish you'll be prepared to gently invite her aboard your boat .... you just gotta remember to say the magic words >> "I'll make ya famous"
