Went to the cow and glow balled from 11pm till sunrise. It was slow to say the least. Not one bite at all, all night. Didnt see any fish caught only heard a few jump here and there. The parking lot was stacked up with dreams of fish. But the looks of disappointment was the end result for all I came across. As soon as the sun came up I got my only bite of the trip. I set it and then even gave a double set to make sure it was hooked. After my last trip missing soooo many fish I didnt want it gettin away. I fought it for about 30 sec and then the line went slack. Loud cursing followed the slack. I was soo pissed off. Then I felt it still there. She musta took a dash straight towards me. The fight was back on. After around 3 mins of back and forth give and take a fellow angler offered up a net job. He got her in the net and I made sure yep shes a hatchery. BONK! youll be going home with me ty much. Stayed till 10 and didnt get another bite. Only other fish I seen taken all day was a springer on a boat around 15-17lbs guessing by what I saw. Its low clear and there is fish they just seemed to not be biting much today. Oh she was 12 lbs

For a second I thought KH was asking you how long your pooh is. LOL-
Nice job bud. I floated by that area you fish yesterday and seen zero fish. We seen 1 guy battling what everyone thought was a monster Springer or Steelie and was drawing a huge crowd. All was disappointed though when the fish came into view and seen an average Steelie hooked in the side. It took off for another run and then came off.

Kinghunter can drift with the best of them the sound of his hookset makes me think I am in Alaska on a dog sled with that loud whipping noise. Pretty cool.

That is what you are good at Jens, story telling, only if it was true. You are truly a fisher of stories!

LOL Kinghunter, no need to be modest with your vicious hooksets, the sound you make with your rod is hands down the loudest and most violent anyone has ever seen or heard. I think I have put 2 and 2 together. That Raiden hat you wear, is that like your way of announcing Combat fishing as in Mortal Kombat? or are you trying to look like those bad mo fo's in Big Trouble in Little China.
KH were you at Blue Creek sunday? I seen an angler wearing such a hat... anyways, glad you got out and striking the iron while it is hot down at Blue Creek. Write a report buddy!!

Sunday I took the kids to the zoo, they had some kind of kids event there. So whoever you saw violently ripping his pole, sorry to say it wasn't me. Good effort in trying to connect me to that. Like I said, fisher of stories, boy your good at that.
