RuKiddingMe Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hit a north metro lake this morning by myself. About 8:20am I popped a 48" on a Cisco Phantom. What an incredible fish and a personal best. She hit a short way into the retrieve and felt like a little pike at first, as the fight went on she got angry and gave me a good run for my money, super strong fish, what a blast. This was the first time I had handled such a fish alone, but everything went so smooth I couldn't have asked for more. Put her in the net and cut the hooks with my bolt cutter, and a pontoon near by came over to snap some pics for me and she was on her way. Swam off strong and healthy.What a morning, surely one to remember and thank god for those nice people in the pontoon that snapped the pics for me.Fall is underway oh yeah... Good Luck all.RU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the guys business card and will be emailing him tomorrow with my address so he can mail them to me. Funny thing is the guy and his wife were aboutt as excited as I was, ok not quite but they were pretty excited too.I'll post'em when I get'em.Jon, you over slept? That must mean you were tippin back some of the Oktoberfest from Leine's, man that's good stuff, if I hadn't ran out I would have overslept too. Then again no need to set an alarm with a 7 month old baby. I don't remember the last time I slept past 8 am... hahaRU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
