Men what an incredible feeling was getting this big guy on the net. I’m only a couple months into my fishing journey so it’s safe to say this took a LOT of time doing research online what lure was best, how to cast it, how fast to reel it in.
Saw a lot of videos on hiding spots and underwater structures, water speeds and underwater pools, etc.
I went out fishing 8 times during the spawn of this two months and got skunked every single time….. literally spend hours out trying to understand everything I was seeing in the YouTube videos.
Today I was in the river at 6:30 waiting for the sunrise. 19 degrees out beautiful morning and it just clicked so I cast exactly where I thought there was going to be a fish and it fucking hit the rooster tail so hard I jumped. It was amazing to feel the fish fighting! The sound of the line being pulled just such a cool experience. After putting it in the net and recording the video I was so nervous I forgot to take pictures.
