I think I had bassquatch on the tip up a few weeks ago. Fighting the fish on my tip up line cut through my hands like butter, after a 10 minute fight the line broke. A minute later one of my slammers goes off and pulled my rod into the hole. Never got my rod back, even cut holes in the ice and jigged a big rap trying to catch my rod.
This who got him. Mr. Tackle box......takes all tackle with him.....[img(Image removed from quote.)(Image removed from quote.)][/img]
Brought out the heavy equipment this time to Muddy Creek to battle this monster. Penn international saltwater reel that holds 875 yards of 100 lb mono, penn tuna stick rod, fighting chair that I anchor to the ice, 16/0 Owner Sper Mutu hook with 2' of 3/8 chain leader, 8 inch sucker for bait, and had Hulk Hogans song "I'm a real American" blasting on the radio.About 9 am I had a hit, the penn reel was screaming off line around 200 yards left the reel, Clayboy poured water on the reel to cool it down, I just couldn't get the fish to turn his head. After about 2 hrs of battle We tied the line to an ice anchor. Stupid Chinese anchor did not hold and snapped. We have to remove this fish from the water before the summer to dangerous to swimmers on the beach. I contacted the PAFC and they have placed a 10k bounty on this fish they don't want it to breed this spring.
im on the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy got the hill billy pacifier T_N_T. got a score to settle yesterday went to set hook into what i thought was a crappie bass and on the hook set fish severed my hand started yellin give me a hand guy came to help how can i help i screamed in pain i need a hand he looked and exclaimed you need more than a hand you need a sturgeon GOD BLESSmo
Yesterday had a beaver swim right underneath me on crystal clear ice.. it was crazy kept hearing swimming for an hr or so and bang there he was..
Should have caught and ate that beaver. Some of the best meat I have ever had.
Rumor is that PAFC is going to dynamite the lake with the help of the US Navy. They have the USS Iowa loaded up on semi trailers hauling it to the lake, should be on the water after the ice is gone. Navy still has a ton of WW2 depth chargers surplus so that's what they are going to use. If this doesn't work then a nuclear explosion under water maybe our only answer. If you watched the last debate between Hillary and Bernie this topic of Bassquatch was argued over several times during the debate. I think Trump has the only answer and that's to build a wall around the lake.
