hanson Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 In retrospect, we had no business being on the river fishing last night. I'd like to think we could make a smart decision when dangerous weather threatens, but when you got flatheaditis bad, logical thinking won't prevail. The night started out on a good note, ducking for cover! "I am Cornholio!" Rain was pounding down at a good clip but this flathead still wanted to come out and play with Aanderud. 38" x 26" = 29lbs **KOTC upgrade points for Aanderud!** It was decided a move was in order after catching that fish so we motored to a new spot with lightning showing us the way. After getting the baits in the water, it was cell phone weather radar time. We were so going to get killed by the orange & red blobs moving our way. It appeared there was a small gap in the storm line that we "might" slip through so we kept at it. Was a good idea as this girl bit shortly after that... 42" x 28" = 38lbs **KOTC upgrade points for Hanson!** Another look... this fish got tangled up in the line and came into the boat green, at which point she decided to chew all the skin off the back of my left hand. Note the blood! It hurts worse than it looks, trust me. Nothing like taking a wood wrasp and scraping it across the back of your knuckles. From now on, the spot will forever be known as "Knuckles 38". Was a fun time guys and it was nice to get home early for a change and catch up on sleep. Early = 1:30am.

harvey lee Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 Nice fish. I thought about going out but the weather kept me home. I guess I don't have that flathead bug that bad yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ec30_06 Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I was out in henderson last night. I decided to pack it in when the 9 pm siren went off early and stayed on. I did manage one fish before leaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted June 12, 2008 Share Posted June 12, 2008 I'm hoping there are 2 upgrades for me WWG and you fall to 4th. Good luck my friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DTro Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 I'm hoping there are 2 upgrades for me WWG and you fall to 4th. Good luck my friend. Any upgrades Tom? WWG upgraded by a couple pts with a beauty 31lb fish. The fish wouldn't let us leave last night. We decided to try something different and after sitting at a usual spot all night we instead scouted around and tried some spots that neither of us has fished this year. I guess it was a good idea with 7 fish boated: 31,25,25,16,15,10,5 Should be a good time out there for Moores Contest on Sat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey lee Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Nope, very slow night without one run. Tonight maybe better with a new spot to hit closer to you. I figure after two skunks in a row, you know the saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
