we got worm and rain in our forcast, today if it was raining it must have been hiding behind all that blinding sunshine.
I was out yesterday, I got a gill, and a 12 inch crappie. and I battled a pike that was about 28 inches for an hour and a half on 2lb test line...
he grabed my little gill jig and went streight to the weed bed where he rolled over and over and over till he was all tied up. I took my time cuz I know how them weeds are, if you fight them they will only snap your line, but if you keep constant preasure on them, they will eventualy cut or pull up.
once he was free, I inched him up to my hole.
I got him up to the bottom of the hole, that is how I know how big he was. I saw him from head to tail. once he was worn out I attempted to fignagle him up in to the hole where I could get him but no dice.
My gaft was sitting next to my tipup some 25 feet away so I loosend up my drag and drifted back to my gaft and reeled my way back to my hole, when I got back I found that he was rolling again, but this time he was going the the other way letting my line loose.
I lowered my gaft in to the water and he got one look at that and pooff he was gone as fast as greese lightning, and twang when my 2 lb test line and my third jig of the day.
after wich of corse I did my dagburned it dance... lol
went back out today, not much of any thing, couple small gills
