We hit up a spot that Eric H told Ray about.
Ray and I were hoping to catch some good sized kitties tonight.
We set up our light gear and patiently waited.
About 40min or so into it my rod gets bit, I set the hook and bring up a nice bluegill (I've never caught one this big before)

After releasing it, we rebaited and castesd out again.
Ray was casting to the left, and I was casting to the right.
He recommended I cast towards the left as well, but I figured I'd stay in my spot.
About an hour or so after the little bluegill, my rod goes bendo! 🎣
I set the hook and bring it in.
It was a good sized kitty.
At this point I had already missed 2 bites. I was happy to bring this one in.

At this point, Ray was getting agitated. Then Bam! He gets a good run.
He tried setting the hook but the kitty let go.
He was furious 😤
It was already getting late, I wanted to pack up but Ray wanted redemption.
I told him I already got my cat and I was good to go
(it was cold and windy)
Next thing you know my rod goes off!
Another cat!
This one put up a good fight 🎣
She had a belly and was bigger than my first kitty.
I was beyond happy.
(Of course watching Ray get mad made me even happier)

Ray was happy I caught fish, but his competitiveness shined right thru him.
And that's how we ended the night.
3-0
Better luck next time Ray!! 🎣😬

You may be my favorite member of the boards! ;D With that said, I'll have to careful when fishing with you and Ray now in case I start to get out fished by you! LOL
Big old bluegill! That's a toad!
Kittys are line shy so I use free running reels/open bails, circle hooks, and sight indicators.
Nice going. You are gonna drive Ray nuts. ;D
I may have to make a trek to this place some day.

She's definitely getting good.
I can see I'm gonna have to definitely make an epic catch to redeem myself pretty soon...

Hell yeah, really glad you guys got some.
Funny how they're all big there....
Initially, I was hyping it up to her....and then bam, bluegill lol
Thanks guys! What can I say, I learned from the best 😇

I'm going saturday. Possibly Friday too...
I must admit. G does put up some impressive catches. She writes better reports than Ray does. Lol
I'm all about that straight info ;)

Lol she makes it interesting though.
When I lived there 8 years ago the average cat was 3 to 4 lbs.
Now the average is about 9 to 10. Guess that's them grown up...
I was catching 10's then which I'd assume are about 20 now.
One of the residents I spoke with was telling me about some 30s his son caught.
I'm gona get one.
