Headed out before light with a friend who has never landed splake or rainbow. 2/3 of the way to the first lake there became a loud howling noise from the rear end of the truck figured its most likely a differental or axel bearing. Decided to go fishing anyway. First lake is for Splake. Hard time locating the fish but once we did we landed 14 and a number got away at the boat with 2 double headers! Most about 12" long but a couple approx 18". Happier than PIS
and testing our luck at fishing and my hurting truck we drive to another lake for rainbow. Also had a hard time locating fish- not marking much of anything anywhere and thinking we should have stayed with splake. I change lure 2min later I have a fish on buddy yells I have a fish on. Both thinking we its one fish but were tangled. Nope! I see mine and his beautiful 22"er jumps out of the water. Its a DOUBLE HEADER again. I quickly net mine. Here is where things turn for the worst
Put my rod down as usual with the lure hanging over the side to not get tangled or hooked. Net buddies awsome first bow and in the boat. Unhook it and a couple high fives. Buddy says look at the fish. Turn and look a nice bow with a lure in its mouth and my rod following close behined
Another fish must have followed ours up and took the lure beside the boat when we were netting his
Truck made it home loudly. An amazing fishing trip with a good friend and his 2 firsts and my first rod on the bottom. Great day even though I have $200 sitting at the bottom of a lake with a nice bow hooked to it
Sorry no pics wife took the camera today.
