Got hooked on fishing again this past month for the first time since I was a kid. Was catching some blue gill and sunfish with my ugly stick dock runner for a little, but those large mouth were calling me!
Hopped on marketplace and scored a sweet old Curado 200e5, paired it with an ultra lite 6’6” from Cabela’s and hit a local pond with the soft plastics this morning. Took me over an hour to find any action, but then caught these three in quick succession – guess I have a new PB!
The big one in slides 1-2 weighed at least 3-4lbs and roughly 17”, or at least I’ll never know because he flipped back into the pond when I was wrangling the measuring tape. I’m loving the season and this new found passion! Can’t wait to learn and develop my skills more 🙏
