Arranged to have some free time this morning. Wanted to hit a lake I haven't gotten to this season. Called up The Quadfather and set the time at 7am. Sure enough, he gets to my place and work calls - little delay on our early start. We finally got to the lake around 8:30. Pretty quiet for about an hour, then was casting to a floating dock, a dink took my 6" watermelon/black flake senco and ran. I repositioned my worm and hit the same spot again. This time I let him take it for a few seconds, then swung. Only when I swung, it was like I snagged the dock, and it was running away. Took a little while and it spun my little pontoon around once or twice but I got it in. Weighed in at 5lb 10oz. My PB. Ended up catching on more dink on the senko and 3 between 2 & 3lbs on a white spinnerbait. Unfortuneately Quad didn't have the luck I did. Next time Quad, next time! Overcast, 60's outside, light rain off & on, water was REALLY stained. If could have made this a 5 star day I would have, but the only option is 3 stars for a secret lake. And when I was let in on the bass potential in this lake I was swarn to secrecy.
