Had a chance to leave work a little early and take my boss and his grandaughter shellcracker fishing to fill up some of his ponds. We had a great time catching a ton of good sized bluegill on live worms. After I had dropped them off I figured since I had a little daylight left I would head back out for about 30 min to practice for CBA. Figured there was not much practicing I could do in 30 MIN, But I am glad I went back out. Went to the first patch I caught some in last year and had 3 roll on a frog, but would not commit. I had 15 min to fish and headed to a patch in a cove I had never fished, but thought it looked good. First cast Boom, one explodes on my frog about a 4.5#. three cast later another one blasts it. Another 4# class fish, About 5 cast Later a monster smashes it. Get a good hook set, and she jumps this one was a big one 6-7#, but of course the one that is the bigger one gets away on the jump. After shaking that one off. I threw out for my last cast and bam another 4# fish. What a ball, three 4# pound fish and one big one that got away in 15 min. It was some fun action. All fish were caught on a brown Matzou Frog, in about a 30 foot patch of grass. After all the chaos, I looked back at the patch of grass i was fishing and it looked like some one threw 5-6 huge bolders in the mat where the fish had blown up on my frog it was crazy looking. Hope I can fish the CBA, I have a wedding that day hopefully I can make both.
