Well, was going to ease up in my posts, but, ---------here I am again with another boring post. sorry, --------well not really. Just don't respond and I'll get the message.[:p]
Anyway, went for just a few hrs. to the weeb. and decided to try my standard prince #8 at a hole downstream of where I usually fish. For a while, nothing, then I caught 1 and then another, and so I kept at it at the hole. Ended up catching about 7 in just a few hrs. with the last being the 20 1/2 " guy that tore off line from my old piece of junk reel but amazingly didn't bust off even with the many jumps. What saved me is a lot of free line and finger pressure for these occasions, but he still spooled me! I didn't measure him before I released him so I'm estimating from the pic. and where it was laying on my rod. If you guys come up with a better way, feel free to adjust my estimate.
After the big guy, decided I had enough and went o throwing sticks for Sparky.
The last pic. is Sparky resting after 1 of our trips. [
