so i think i'm on to something... finally!

i got a new P.B. tonight. it's tiny compared to some of you guys. (only 31-32") but i'll take it!! especially after the way this whole season has gone. might i also add, fist fish on a plug in almost ten years!! i can't beleive its been that loong. and of all things, a needle!! (also 2 cranks into the 1st cast)

5 casts later, a much much larger fish took it. but i was on some slippery rocks, and he took a turn straight at me as i had all my weight into him while he was running, and sure enough i lost my balance and fell on my ass. reeling as fast i could to keep tension on my way down, but he was gone.

sadly that needle disappeared to a rock two casts later. and they wouldn't touch any of the other ones i threw at em. they also ignored every other offering for the most part. it was ALLLLL about the color. so now i am on a quest to find another one by pm tomorrow..

i know its not huge, but i'm just so psyched to catch a fish on plug and have it be a decent one. tomorrow night i will be back at trying for my first goal of 36"+ with new found enthusiasm that was desperately needed.

here's the awful pic.. (damn cellphones)
