What can I say?
It was another great day out on Lake Washington!
I went to Log Boom Park again at about 2:30 or so and fished until about 7:30.
I started off the day going after Largemouth Bass under the dock.
I was using a creature bait on a 2/0 hook and skipping it under the dock.
On my 4th cast a Largie hit but hit so subtly that I didn't feel it until I started reeling in.
It caught me off guard and I didn't get a good hook set at all and it easily came off.
I would say it was a good 2 lb to say the least.
Disappointed, I go at it again and about 2 casts later a Largie breaks the surface and takes it but doesn't take it in all the way so when I set the hook it came right off.
Even more disappointed, I go at it yet again.
About 5 more casts later I get a solid bite and I set the hook, Fish On!!
It was just a little largie but it sure fought it's heart out!
She weighed in at just 11 ounces.
After that, countless casts and no bites, I figured that there either weren't anymore under there or they were spooked.
So then I decided to get my panfish on and oh was it good!
I caught over 15 Yellow Perch, over 20 Pumpkinseed Sunfish, 9 Bluegills, 7 Sculpin, and 1 Northern Pike Minnow (Squawfish).
A couple of the Yellow Perch had some decent size to them.
One of the Bluegills I caught was a pretty decent sized one and it was fat!
I was super stoked because out of the countless times I have fished here, I have never caught a Bluegill, only Pumpkinseeds!
I gave the Squawfish a wack and tossed it back in the water for the scavengers to feed on.
Other than that Squawfish, everything was released alive and well :)
All in all it was a great day out on the water!
Caught a ton of fish and had lots of fun!
However, I have never been more annoyed with the people there in my life.
Random kids going through my tackle bag, picking up my other rod and asking if they can have it or use it, a million people asking me what I'm fishing for.
But what was more annoying was the other people fishing, who weren't catching anything.
They were constantly asking me what bait I was using and calling me a liar when I said I was using worms.
They kept telling me I'm "cheating" because they're using worms and not catching anything.
Also, I had a million people literally inches away from my own face while I'm fishing trying to see what I'm doing.
People these days have no respect or sense of personal space, I swear.
As with last time, I had a lot of people making rude, absurd, snotty remarks towards me, some even racist.
But something funny happened today.
These two girls were walking towards the dock and were giggling about something.
Then one of them says "Hey sexy, you gonna catch me a fish?" and before I realize that they were talking to me, one of the girls uses both her hands and slaps my ass 4 times.
I was more surprised than anything and laughed it off.
Who does that? Hahaha...
