9/26

Had a GREAT night last night. Ken Schmacher and I hit waters known for big numbers of BIG fish. We had about an hour to fish as darkness fell...and it was the perfect hour to be there. The bass were hitting a gold & black Chug Bug like it was going out of style! I got 7 that i landed plus 3 more that got off.....one of which was probably a big pike that ripped out 10lb PowerPro line off an an extra stiff HM 54 rod like nobody's business before cutting thru the line like butter. I had no chance against that fish.
This one was the largest bass of the evening. About 20". Ken did great on the flyrod as well with some really nice bluegills and a 18" bass on a topwater fly.
The picture below is off of a new Sony 500 camera phone. Not too shabby. No match for the Canon cameras that Mike and I usually use...but a pretty good back-up to have in the pocket.
Mike is back from Eagle River, WI and will have a full report soon.
