Once again TD - great post, great story, fun photos.
I wonder if the wallys would go for a shtuck of Venison on one of your jigs! I've heard of "doubles" - but two on one line - that's something! And what a greedy bugger - to swaller both jigs in one go!
Reminds me of our Perch Poles we used to line with lots of little golden hooks. Often pulled up several hits at once (those were ocean perch in Florida - hell they'd even hit just the shiny hooks, sans bait).
Yours sounds like a bass-story I just read. One fella got hit big, and broke off. The next pulls in this 5 pound bass - and what's stuck in his gizzard, but the other fellas lizard.
The Big Bad Brownie made me laugh. At Newton we spotted a dead Muskie by the launch, and my son wanted to net it, but said it wouldn't fit in the net (or he wasn't strong enough to lift it). Guess it's good we didn't connect with any live ones. (Spotted a bunch. Talk about Beasts!)
Needed a little assurance boost - so stopped by Skylar's Pond on the way home - tiny community pond in Logan, by Willow Park. Stocked with little rainbows, albinos, cats, and gills. A feller said he saw some big blue carp too (I didn't see them - have to check next time).
Tossed a few spinners and jigs and managed to hook up a dinky albino, a pretty fat b-gill, and decent foot-long bow. Good variety out of a very weedy puddle. . . and only having artificials and gulps on hand. Little guys like their worms!
Funny how quickly a couple hours can pass on "just a couple casts".
Gonna go hunt for cats, walleyes, and smallies in the Bear on Sat, then onto Willard to seek out some Wiper Boils Sunday. Hope to avoid the skunky jinx!
