Rod used - $10 Zebco special
Bait used - Bill Dance rod/reel, berkley powerbait
Catch- Big A$$ Bass
Last saturday morning I went trout fishing for some stockers at Gilbert run with some friends. We had about 6 lines setup along the wall with the doughbait/treble hook setup.
All of a sudden my buddies $30 Bill Dance fishing rod goes flying over the side into the lake. We look and figure this thing is gone. About 15 - 20 minutes later I notice my dinky Zebco rod has been bent and the line looks taught. I go pull on it and sure enough something is on the end. I think it's snagged but it starts to pull in so I think a tree branch. My buddies girlfriend says "maybe you caught a fishing rod" 3 seconds later I see weeds coming up and right behind that is my buddies rod. We start laughing and are all excited. I get the rod up and start to untangle the mess of 4 four rods and my buddy says "there is something on my rod!" I'm thinking sweet its a big trout. He starts reeling in and this bass breaks the surface and we go nuts.
We get him up close and I scoop him up with the net. There was no fight left in this guy and I thought he was a goner. He must have been snared up for at least 15 minutes. We snap a quick photo and I put him back in. He rolls over once and I'm thinking he's getting mounted. But he corrects himself and swims away. Whew!
We also brought home 4 trout (3 more got away when they snapped the lines) that I turned into trout stew. ;D
