Hit the water about 10 am.Started out slow.Made the first pass around the lake without a bump.I had started out with a cultiva mira shad.Then I saw a few fish sippin bugs off the surface,so on goes my floating Daiwa Dr Minnow and so the fun begins.I started off picking up one or two here and there.I tossed them back at first.I then found one spot in the lake that was just amazing.my fishfinder showed some heavier weed cover,the fish alarm would start beeping like mad and bam fish on over,and over,and over.most of them in this particular spot were the jumbo fish that they stocked recently.I figured I'd take a limit of these 13-14 inch fish for the smoker.I had 3 on the stringer at the time when my rod goes down real hard pumping and screaming out line.I had hooked into a very hard fighting broodstock rainbow that amazingly looked rather bright.Of course I brought the wrong net which I can't get half of him into so I slip a finger under his gill and pitch him into the boat.Probably the longest I have ever battled one of these things,but then again on a 6 ft light action rod.
