Personal Best! Part Two
« on: Jan 01, 2013, 08:41 PM »

 So, I went out with Mitchell Meyers on a private pond and had another amazing outing. Breaking another personal best. We had been fishing a hot spot with several 9 to 10 inch gills on the ice. The fish had stopped coming through so we decided to try another spot. We sat focused on a few fish coming through. It seemed like a ping-pong game. I would see them and then a minute later Mitchell would see them. We landed a few small bass when I noticed a huge red mark on the LX-5.....yeah, I can't afford one of those fancy new LCD flashers yet. It stuck around for a while then.....WACK! It was a fighter for sure. We still didn't have any snow on top of the ice at this point. I could see what looked like a hub cap going in circles under the ice. The fish broke through into my world with line wrapped around the ducer. Man, what a fish. I reached for it and pulled it safely onto the ice. The 2 days.....2 personal bests. I like it!

Nice!  That's a bull gill.  Every time I have one of those on I think, damn, another large mouth.  Until I see the fat pig come up the hole and then my jaw drops...  Well done!  :thumbsup:

Ha!  This would be an opportune time for someone to insert the "that's what she said" line.  Unless you're fishing for some big guys...

I left that wide open for a home run .... Chickens.  It's been a tough start to the new season but the fish have been nice.  Keep fishing.
