JUST WOW what an ENORMOUS SKUNK !

The plan was pretty simple
I know where they are is what I told my wife
She said I want to go ketch some too
We got there and sure enough , they was biting FAST !
She had me down 3 or 4 to 1 really FAST >>>>:yikes
But it wasn't what we wanted to go ketch darnit ....:banghead
We was after crappie ....they was our target species ....
They was all gone .....
BUT good news is this ...
Herds of big fat bluegill replaced them and saved the day ....:highfive
We ONLY ketched bluegill and one large red ear ....
not a bass or crappie in the mix ...
go figure ...:dono
2 foot under a float was king
number 10 jighead and no plastic on it ....
just a white crappie nibble AND ....
SET THE HOOK !
boy howdy did we hammer them darn fast ....
stopped at 51 , storms were coming in late in the day out there
KABOOM is near my friends
p.s. we were just dropping off Christmas gifts and asked if we could play in the lake a bit before we left .....giving and receiving thing ...
YET AGAIN!
let the good times roll by golly and
Merry Christmas to all ....:cheers2

Wow. Very nice. A great way to spend a few hours!

we were both sporting really lighweight tackle , man did them fish not want to be ketched ....
many folks think my fish stories are just that ,,,,
BUT let me embellish this one a tad more ....
MULTIPLE larger bluegill took to the AIR that visit .....not kidding
never seen very many bluegill jump and to be sure not over and over ....go figure :dono

Well, let me say this on being out done. You know your a great teacher, when your student not only catches more, but larger ones than you do...Just sayin'. Congratulations To you both on some real nicen's...

she never used a rod and reel till she met me , her and her grandpa used their hands and fish traps when she was a lil girl ....
she is a natural and as with most females , not much for an ego and rather focused on the task at hand most of the time .
took almost all my instructions on how to ketch fish really well .
now she is quite capable of making you wish she wasn't there to humble your ketch rates ,,,,,just saying :Rofl

my bud saw one the other night when he lets his 2 dogs out to go pee pee ....
from about 3 feet away .....and him and the dogs will very likely NEVER get that smell off them and or forget getting tear gassed at close range .....bet money them there "city" dogs have a permanent issue with skunks at this point in their doggy lives :Rofl
