One
of my fishing buddy's and I went to the river Saturday night, 7-22-06.
Minnows showed up under the Evening Secret, and within about 15 minutes
we had gar chasing off the minnows. After about 30 minutes one of my
poles ever so slightly started to bend. I told Lenvil this has to be
a big fish. He said "I didn't hear the bait clicker". I locked
the reel in and waited for another slow pull.
Then the pole slowly pulled down, I jerked the pole back, and started
reeling. Lenvil asked if I was going to need the net. I told him probably
not, but you might get it ready just in case. The line got close to
the boat and that's when things got interesting. The fish made a dive
for the bottom and I realized I had been right, it had weight behind
it.
I grabbed one of my other poles and handed it to Lenvil and asked him
to reel it in, out of the way. I got the line close once more and again
it made another run. Lenvil said ok quit horsing around. It isn't that
big. I assured him it was. He still thought I was playing. Finally I
got the fish to the top, the first pass at the net was a miss. The second
pass the fish shot straight in the net... turns out I needed the net.
