Bout to school

Here is the truff. Pulled cranks for about 27 hours strait. Then out of nowhere....... Bam! Fish on! Could it be the 3 lber I've been searching for?

Here's where the REAL story begins. I started long lining some jigs and swim baits for a bit. I trolled to and from all over the place. Just as I was getting ready to pick up and go, it happened... My pole bowed over and just about flew out of the boat! "Stay clam" I told myself. So I set the hook. Wow! This joker is heavy. Not sure if it is a crappie at this point, but whatever it is, IT HAS SOME MUSSELS!! So I continued to fight with it, for what felt like an eternity until I got it to the top of the water.. I couldn't believe my eyes. Certainly the biggest one I'd ever caught, ever.

I ain't gonna say I told you so, but I told you so. And it would be just plain rude to say I called it before it even happened.

Hit it like a 20 lb hammer I tell you! Get it? Clam down.. Mussels...:D:D:D

Don't let the picture fool you. That joker still had some fight in him. FYI, caught him on a chartruse swim bait in about 8 ft of water. Bite was kinda slow, but it was well worth the wait.

Nope.

But then I took the cranks off.
