Enough to make a grown man cry!!!
I went out to Offut to check things out as far as the spawn and came up to a bed that has been active for a while and sure enough the male was on it So I park the little aluminum boat in between a couple branches of this down tree about 20-25 feet away and throw in my bait. After a few attempts I got a reaction and the fish picked up my hula grub by one of the legs and carried it out of the bed#-o So I was a little upset After that was waiting for the male to move back in after a bad pitch spooked him out and I look under my boat and there is BIG MAMA a monster at any standards laying under my boat thinking it is pretty nice. I froze :shaking2: for a minute thinking "what do I do now?" Than I picked up my secret sause soaked the bait and very lightly dropped the hula right in front of the fish and the next thing I know it is FISH ON!!!! She ran from the boat into deep water and I was like cool!!! But as I went to follow her she turned back to the tree :pale: In a matter of moments she was tied up So I went over and was try to untangle the line while she is crashing around in the water not 15 feet away. Well she had my line nice and tied up so I cut it at the real and went around to see if I could grab the line from the other side and as I come around the tree I see a white belly thrashing around 5 feet under me so I try to reach down and grab her but my arms are not long enough so I know the only wat to reach her is to put at least my upper body in the water :rambo: So I stpip off my shirt and glasses and lay down on the seat and down I go... About the time I am streching to grab her lip the boat is suddenly not under me any more So as I pull my self in the boat I see my beast of a fish swimming down the bank](*,)

Darn it Taz , I talk to a few guys that were out on the lake that day and they all said they assumed that you were spooning for catfish ..lol ..(NOT TRUE) .. Well thats too bad she got away , if nothing else you now know were she likes to hang out so wait for her mouth to heal up in a few days and give it another go you still have time before she goes back out ... good story, you make me want to call in sick for work and go fishing ... :colors: BBD

RE:Enough to make a grown man cry!!!
Hey TAZ great story. You had me laughing also. If you are serious about the outdoor writing bit and you haven't already picked up the author Patrick McManus I highly recommend it. He is an outdoor humorist from the Northwest and writes short stories about fishing, hunting, camping, etc... Great reading for days you can't make it to the lake.bigbasstaz wrote:I am thinking of getting into outdoor writing and you guys are making me feel good now I want to write more
