AfterHours Fatboy

[parker23]

Hey Gang,
I had a fantastic morning today. Fish were sittin in a small rip sipping small bait on the surface. I casted flies/metal/bucktail w/pork as well as sluggo's and several top water baits.

I looked in the bag and picked out an AfterHours Fatboy.
Casted it uptide of the rip and worked it slowly over the rocks. 1st cast resulted in a 24# bass. 5 minutes later I was rewarded with what I thought was a 30# plus cow. Another 10 casts and I hooked into a very large fish, fought her for 2 minutes and she was gone w/ my fatboy. So, I grab another Fatboy and the fun continued. The action was non-stop for nearly an hour.

The tide went slack and the fish stopped eating. I cleaned up the mess in the boat and was ready to head for the dock, when I noticed some swirls on the surface. I made a few casts and as I drifted closer to the surface action, I see my Fatboy floating w/just its tip out of the water. I grabbed my net and scooped up my lucky plug.

I could not beleive that bass that ate my plug an hour ago somehow dislodged the hooks. I thought my line had broken, however my duolock snap had broken at the eye.

Thank you AfterHours for making a great plug that catches fish floats to the surface whne broken off.

I weighed the fish in @ Quaker Lane B&T this am, she was only 27.50#s. I will post a picture as soon as I finish my scotch and water.
