After the big speck this morning, I had to try for an afternoon bite. I got a couple.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was very fortunate to get this morning’s speck in the net just as the hook pulled. This afternoon, I missed a couple of topwater bites and then cast a Corky in the area. It got slammed and again, I was sure it was a puppy drum. Nope, another big trout and again barely hooked by the back treble in the lip. I’m nervous and I drop the net overboard. I now know that my net floats. But now, one hook is in the fish and the other snagged in the net with the fish outside of the net…and I can’t reach the net handle. I use the butt of the rod to slide the handle to the boat so I can reach it. I flipped the net over, under the fish. This de-hooked the fish but it was now in the net…my plan all along. Luckily, nobody was close enough to see the clown show.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I picked up another fish on topwater. I went trout fishing twice today and I only caught 4 fish total but they were: 20, 21, 23.5, and 28.5 inches long. I’ll take that.<\/div>\n
