One Of Those Nights... Fishing Report

4.5 Rating based on 2 Reviews

Took a quick evening trip last night with my dad and brother to go for bass. nothing notable happened until I was casting my super spook. I tossed it out and let it sit. before I even started to twitch it, a NICE bass slammed it and took off. I set the hook and started fighting the beast, and it felt goooood. The fish jumped and looked to be at least four pounds. Then I just felt dead weight and after a couple seconds realized the fish got me hooked on a damn stump. damn. After a couple minutes, I managed to get the lure unstuck, but no fish. I never thought I could manage to get a topwater lure stuck at the bottom of a pond, but I guess I was wrong. I got to see some beavers swimming across the pond, which was really cool. I may have got the skunk for the night, but it wasn't a total loss.
