Rare Night Fishing Trip For Team Northshore
Some hot fishing going on aboard the USS Northshore. I got a message from Doug that there were some big fish in the river. I decided to head over there at 7pm. I got a call from Roger asking me if I wanted to do some night fishing in the boat.I told him I would be at the river at 7. Roger got there ahead of me and Doug was there as well. Doug said he lost a monster on his first cast.
We decided to go get the boat and fish the complete opposite end of the lake.
I would normally not leave a river with huge fish lurking. The only reason I did was because in the last 10 days, some big fish have come on the boat, all from the same spot. a few 5+ caught on back to back casts and some 4's.The spots been hot and that's where i'm going.
We get there and fish it hard and pick up a few small ones. Moving around a bit letting the spot settle down. We picked up a limit and some throw aways.
Lots of you know the spot I am talking about. If you know it, you know it. No need to mention it in responses.
It was not a great night so far but we did catch some fish. I cast a jig out at a very specific spot. It felt as if I was snagged up. I then feel it moving but felt small. It felt as if I had a small bass that was tangled up in a rope. It finally felt ok and it was not hung up. I then realized it was something big. I yelled to Roger to get the net and its big. It came to the surface and made a violent smash.I get her to the boat and Roger nets her. This thing was gorged to the max. We weighed it up on two scales and it was 7 lbs even.
I make fish look so small, look at the picture of Roger holding it. Just for the doubters who will say its 4 lbs.
Not the greatest cell phone pics being it was 11:30 at night.
