Sounds like a good trip with lots of action. Let me guess, the 55" fatty was near the end of the trip, right. They always do that on purpose.Originally Posted by Jason VandeKopple
Last year around the same time of year, my friends and I had a 54-56" gigantosaurus up on a Thursday afternoon. I never saw her, but I called where she would be. We had seen a few smaller fish tucked right around the lee side of islands and points. As we came across a different big point, I said, "be ready guys, this is always where the big one comes.". Nothing. But then I said, "hmmm, usually right off the tip. Tell ya what, let's take a few more casts up the lee side since that's where we saw the last two fish on the other spots.". About 2-3 casts later, my friend up front goes, "Here comes one. Oh my god. (then his voice went up about two pitches) OH MY GOD!!! What do I do?". And I said, "same $&@!'n thing you do on any other fish.". My friend in the middle right about then goes, "Holy f$&@, that $$@!'n thing just kept coming. Like it never ended.". So the guy up front is awestruck, looking at me saying, "if that one this morning was 51-52", THAT thing was waaaaay bigger.". Then he looks down in the water, and the fish had come back on his bait which was still in the water. LOL. So I told the guides about that fish in the hopes someone could catch her. I guess Cal saw her a few times, but then about a week and a half later...POOF she was gone never to be seen again.
Any particular colors in the different sections of the lake working better this year up there Jason?
