Finally! After countless trips to the Snoho I ended up being the guy that caught fish! I was beginning to think that this was gonna be a really bad humpy run for me. I caught three and lost seven. Fish seemed to be biting really light and were spitting the hooks after just a couple of head shakes. I had one buck that did not want to come to the bank. Every time I got him close he would make another run and then "poof" he was gone. Just as I was getting ready to make another cast I thought, "I'd better check this jig", and sure enough, that fish had straightened the hook out. At least it fought a noble fight against a worthy opponent before giving up the ghost.

Caught two on a pink hootchie jig and one on a buzz bomb. Decided to call it a day and gave my spot to a nice couple that were looking for a spot to fish from.

The best part was, I finally got the skunk off of the Fenwick HMX rod that I bought at the Sportsman's show back in January and I'm happy to say that it did quite well for its self.
