i begged my other half , please pretty please ....
she says you have an addiction , I said yes mam ....
she says ...NO ....
I try all the tricks , she says you want to go to that spot that your bud hurt his leg in them rocks ?
I said yes mam and I did as well sweety but its THE SPOT right now . well I tried witty banter , I even broke out the ole my my you sure have lost weight sweety ....
she says ...NOPE ....you are going tomorrow ...so is it night or day ?
pick one ...!
I said ok ok I guess I stay home tonite ....
it aint over with just yet yawl .....I don't give up easy as you mite have noticed
a few friends are sending me reports on a different lake , I show her the pix
she says they are just teasing you silly boy ....I said YEP I know
PRETTY PLEEEEEASE ....she said ok but NOT ALONE !!!
I called everyone I could think of that might go ....
they were either ketched out already or tired or dint answer ....
I told her just a few hours I will be back soon
she gave up ...I went ALONE
AND ...
KABOOM

so spot one was pitch black , I had a lil tiny torch float and a tiny flashlite
I tried here and there and was about to move when I found em !
they were in a small area and they were after my jig fast ...
I dint carry a stringer because I knew I wasn't there to keep fish
just there to keep my edge on the fish ....fine tuning I spose you would say
I managed a dozen keeprs real fast and then IT happened !!!!
I lost my lil torch to something under the water
made me pretty sad ... only had one ....
I walked away tail tucked and said it is what it is

I climbed in the truck saddened by my loss
tangled up my favorite rod ...got the line under the spool
it was a nightmare ....I said well I guess I still got the tika
am gunna need to respool the Bonehead 7 footer tomorrow ....
she is sitting there lookin sad like me
I said come on sweety lets find some light and a fish
she smiled and we took a ride to the other side of the lake
a few street lights her and there and fish close
I can see the float if it aint far away
thank goodness the fish were there and close !!
KABOOM

I don't remember my phone ringing? I will be working in FTW (well at Eagle Mountain) for the next several days...usually i quit about 6pm...if you gotta a place to fish, I carry a rod/tackle/light...yeeeeeeeee

the bite was testy ....I missed quite few both spots
they were all over the map ...smacks . sinks . drags . pecks . the worx
so I drag a few out ....pass em along to another angler
I managed only one right at 10 .....
the rest were for sure keep fish ....

Some addictions are just toooooooo strong!!! Good job!

mister crapicat I figured it was to far for you to drive or you would a got a ring
plus I only went for 2.5 hours .....but...
it was right up your alley brother ....I know you love that bankin it my friend
we got to go to spot one with more torch floateeez brother
its a lil creepy in that much darkness
but they are in there thick brother

I always loved ketchn things ....fish in particular
and crappie are so kewl ....it is a strange love affair to say the least

well i kept pitchin and twitchn ....
it kept getting cooler ...
the fish bit in waves ...on the off
i jerked a nice one at one point and for reasons unknown my line snapped
on the hoist ! she was up in the rocks so i dint panick ....
i just wanted my jig back
she just wanted her life back
we scramble and wrestled
she won
KABOOOOM

now on to the whale part ....
i had one sink the float like a rock
i set the hook it dint move
i thunk danget brush .....then it tugged right hard
the fight was on i tell ....wow she had muscles and was using em
that lil light weight tika was a struggling ...
i was wishin it was my Bonehead ....
i thunk oh my this is a real fish !
she is a piggy for sure ....
i couldn't quite jerk her so i got her to shore
and went for the grab ....
and I WON this fight !!
KABOOM

what a big ole crappie fish she was ....
without a doubt over 2 ....
a very nice fish for sure
i have to say this ...LURE FLAVOR !!!
i did some extensive testing ....
i know yawl think i am bla bla bla
but several folks seen how it works last night
no spray no bite
spray and KABOOM !!!!
2 of them tried it as well ....
one even knew what it was before i told him
said Olsens carried it and he just didn't get over there to git it yet
i have no idea how or why it works ....but to be sure
i did that routine with it a bunch of times last night
....i am a believer in it yawl
KABOOM

And congrats on the fish.
