RE: Fish that have taken you the most work to land...
Neat stories! Man I was happy with first walleye being about 1 pound.... I really would like to get me a 10lber but I'm thinking the wife will not like the $4000 bill )
I have not been fishing for that long.... Always enjoyed it but never had the opportunity (so I thought).... After fishing this summer at a cottage we rented I thought I would look up fishing opportunities in Ottawa. I was stunned and amazed to discover Urban Shore fishing! Tons of spots within 5-20 minutes of my hounse in the city. I was hooked (excuse the overused pun). From my short experience here are a couple of my most interesting fights: - Two pikes this summer were interesting. The first one was in a lake.... My hook was snagged in the weeks and we were circling the boat trying to get unsangged. So here I am reeling in with a heavy load of weeds and my brother in law says you sure there is not fish at the end of that? I was getting real good at knowing what weeds are like so I says nothings pulling or tugging just heavy weeds.... Low and behold at the end of the line under about 3 lbs of weeds is a 24 inch pike (about 3lbs). My fist pike! A couple of months later fishing at my shore spot I here a splash which I thought was a small bass. I through out my light rodd while I was re-rigging my medium rod.... Low and behold the rod starts to bounce toward the water. I get to it just in time and and see the big (big for me that is) pike diving into the weeds. 10 lb mono 4 inch leader and big fish sitting in the weeds... As I work it out I was praying my line would hold. When I pulled him in I used put my spreader to open his mouth. The angry bugger clamped down and shut the thing.... I managed to get the hook out and the other guy fishing the spot good not believe I released him. He was 30 inches and about 7 lbs. - For my other story I go small... My bait store was closed one morning (sometime if I have late meeting and the weather is good I'll get a half dozen minnows and head out for 90 minutes before heading into the office; You gotta love flex time). I had worms though and thought I would still go out... Low and behold one by one all my worms kept disappearing.... So I more to smaller and smaller hooks. Finally when I got to 1/32 nd I started to get some fish.... about 10 perch, 10 rockbass, some blue gill, and what I swear was an Orange spotted sunfish (no picture to back it up though). With shore fishing you gotta be able to take it up and down as required I guess Anyway not a runaway trout or huge walleye or near death experiences but the stories will come Right Guiga! |
